Wait for

Wait for the machine with the given id to enter a certain machine state. This action polls the server and returns only when we detect that the machine has transitioned into the given state. States available to check for are:

• off

• serviceready - services are running on the machine but the Paperspace agent is not yet available

• ready - services are running on machine and the Paperspace agent is ready to stream or accept logins

When the callback is called, the returned object will be information about the machine.

Examples

HTTPS

# HTTP request:
# The waitefor method is only available using the API client.
# Use the show method to query the state of the machine via HTTP.
