goto doesn't work in setTimeOut

[RohanNikumbh27]

Describe the bug

if(isUserAlreadyExist){
	setTimeout(() => {
		goto("/dashboard/dashboard/asset");										
	}, 4000);
}else{
	goto("/auth/sign-up/successful");
}

In above code, after succeeding in 'if' condition i am trying to call 'goto' function after 4 seconds but it is getting executed immedietly instead of waiting for 4 seconds.

Reproduction

Needs to be changed in svelte and sveltekit's code.

"Reproduction" is supposed to contain the entire, self-contained code required to reproduce the issue. I also cannot reproduce the problem, goto works just fine in a setTimeout callback.

Entire page code:

<script>
  import { goto } from '$app/navigation';

  function onClick() {
    setTimeout(() => {
      goto('/a');
    }, 3000);
  }
</script>

<button on:click={onClick}>Go to /a</button>

Maybe you are calling it on the server? goto is for usage on the page, on the server you need to use redirect (which will not work in a regular timeout since at that point the response will have been sent, you would have to await a promise).

FWIW, I used goto() within a setTimeout() recently for debugging and it worked. Although mine was not within an onclick handler.
