How To Set Auto-Wait Time Out More Than 1,000,000ms

Hi all,   I have some test cases which required to set the auto-wait time out more than 1,000,000 ms and I found that 1,000,000 is the maximum time out can be set. Is there any possible method to ...

    The example code below will wait until Edge Tab is opened or until time limit is reached i.e. 17 minutes (1020000 seconds)

    function Wait()
{
    var timer = 0;
    var then = aqDateTime.Now();
    var now = then;
    
    while ((now - then) < 1020000 && !Sys.Browser("edge").WaitChild("Page(\"edge://newtab/\")", 1000).Exists)  {
        timer++;
        now = aqDateTime.Now();
    }
    
    Log.Message(`Waited ${timer} seconds`);
}

    It will not throw an error if it can't find the object (base on the Object Browser)

You can make a function using the WaitNNN with the common wait time and then call the function when you need it. It could still be hardcoded but you would only have one place to change it.

If using this method, would the test log will show The object "..." does not exist. error? Sorry that I not yet try on the WaitNNN method as I tried the Do While method as below:

 

LoopCount = 0
do while not (Aliases.Object.VisibleOnScreen)
    If LoopCount < 10 Then
      Delay(5000)
      LoopCount=LoopCount+1 
    End If
Loop

I will get the The object "..." does not exist. error while every time it entered the while loop. Can I hide the error from showing in the test log?
