check for time.Sleep() function usage

The R018 analyzer reports time.Sleep() function usage. Terraform Providers should generally avoid this function when waiting for API operations and prefer polling methods such as resource.Retry() or (resource.StateChangeConf).WaitForState().

Examples

time.Sleep(10)

err := resource.Retry(/* ... */)

Or

stateConf := resource.StateChangeConf{/* ... */}
_, err := stateConf.WaitForState()

Ignoring reports

Singular reports can be ignored by adding a //lintignore:R018 Go code comment at the end of the offending line or on the line immediately preceding, e.g.

//lintignore:R018
time.Sleep(10)
