timecop.cr

A timecop inspire library allow "time travel", "freezing time" and "time acceleration" capabilities, making it simple to test time-dependent code.

Installation

Add this to your application's shard.yml:

dependencies:
  timecop:
    github: TobiasGSmollett/timecop.cr

Usage

require "timecop"

Timecop.freeze

date = Time.new(2008, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10)
Timecop.freeze(date) do |frozen_time|
  puts "#{frozen_time == Time.now}" # => true
end

Timecop.travel

Timecop.travel(Time.new(2014, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0)) do
  puts Time.now # => 2014-01-01 00:00:00 +0900
  sleep(5)
  puts Time.now # => 2014-01-01 00:00:05 +0900
end

Timecop.scale

# seconds will now seem like hours
Timecop.scale(Time.now, 3600)
puts Time.now # => 2017-08-28 23:50:06 +0900
sleep(2.0)
# seconds later, hours have passed and it's gone from 23pm at night to 1am in the morning
puts Time.now # => 2017-08-29 01:50:21 +0900

Timecop.safe_mode

# turn on safe mode
Timecop.safe_mode = true

Timecop.safe_mode? # => true

# using method without block
Timecop.freeze Time.new(2008, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10)
# => Timecop::SafeModeException: Safe mode is enabled, only calls passing a block are allowed.
