Am I writing my functions incorrectly? What is causing this? This is causing my tests to fail inconsistently. Thanks

Refer to Using WaitNNN Methods in https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/app-objects/common-tasks/waiting-process-or-window-activation.html . There are existing methods which you can use, to wait for an object to exist and timeout after a number of seconds. Delay and aqUtils.Delay methods work fine. Without seeing your actual code, it's difficult to provide help

As per https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/keyword-testing/reference/misc/delay.html Scripting Analogue section hints to https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/program-objects/aqutils/delay.html method.

It should work as you have it; however, try using aqUtils.Delay(ms, Str)

  I have created a new project to try it out and in a long loop, and it worked properly.
  
  I tried the following variations:
  1. Delay(100, "Message")
  2. aqUtils.Delay(100, "Message")
  3. import time
  time.sleep(100)
  
  Perhaps it is failing due to your project sequence of events or state, and that would be hard to fix. I suggest you try the same and use what ever works for you starting with a reboot.

Thanks for the recommendations, will update with aqUtils and see if the issue comes up

What exactly are you doing, and what's the coding?

  I am trying to delay in the "except" of a try-except function. If an object is not found, wait 3 seconds and look for the object again.
