Google application script - using setInterval in in onOpen trigger - error "undefined"

Question

I am trying to use setInterval function in onOpen trigger. When I run it I am getting " "setInterval" is not defined." error. Are there any restrictions to using setInterval in Google Application Script?

This is the code:

setInterval(function(){
  Logger.log("test");
}, 100);
