Delay not working in Before Each Layer GCode

Hello, I have the following GCode inside before each layer:

G90
G1 Z{([[CurrentPosition]] + [[LayerThickness]])*([[LayerNumber]] > 1)} F[[ZSpeed]]
[[WaitForDoneMessage]]
M114
[[Delay {((( ([[LayerNumber]] >= 2) * ([[LayerNumber]] <= 2)) * 5)+
(( ([[LayerNumber]] >= 3) * ([[LayerNumber]] <= 3)) *4)+
(( ([[LayerNumber]] >= 4) * ([[LayerNumber]] <= 9)) * 3)+
(( ([[LayerNumber]] >= 10) * ([[LayerNumber]] <= 20)) * 2)+
(( ([[LayerNumber]] >= 21) * ([[LayerNumber]] <= 50)) * 1)+
(( ([[LayerNumber]] >= 51) * ([[LayerNumber]] <= 80)) *0)+
(( ([[LayerNumber]] > 80) * 0))}]]

And I'm getting echo:Unknown command: "[[Delay 4.0000]] in terminal.
I tried executing the delay command manually in the terminal and it worked fine. But executing [[Delay {4}]] in the terminal doesn't work

Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Hello Shahin,
Here's a screenshot of the error:

I have assumed that the error is caused by the zeroes followed by the number, but executing the command manually from the terminal functions properly

Re: Delay not working in Before Each Layer GCode

Do you paste exact gcode or evaluated one on terminal?

Re: Delay not working in Before Each Layer GCode

I have done both, one where I have literally written the following

[[Delay 10.0000]]
M114

Where I had to wait for 10 seconds for M114 to be executed.
and the other test I have done was executing

[[Delay {10}]]
M114

Where the delay was neglected.
Excuse my random assumption, but might it be that the number returned from between the braces "{}" is of type long and the numbers I literally type are of type float? Where this might be the issue.

I cannot reproduce the issue. Please, make sure you are on the latest beta vesion. And see if the issue still persists.

Re: Delay not working in Before Each Layer GCode

You're right! It worked on the new beta version 1928.
The issue was occuring on version 1919
I have also executed

tail -f /var/log/printer.log

and found that the error was: 2018/12/05 09:54:24.127629 {"Layer":"1","module":"Gcode","level":"Error","msg":"Delay Value Problem strconv.ParseFloat: parsing '{0.05}': invalid syntax"}

which no longer exists.
Thanks for the help!

Re: Delay not working in Before Each Layer GCode

Hello Shahin,
I just want to clarify that this worked for me on the newer version while executing manually in the terminal and not from the "AfterEachLayer" GCode
