a simple fake clock for golang
|
|
|
|
# Usage
|
|
|
|
Replace uses of the `time` package with the `clockwork.Clock` interface instead.
|
|
|
|
For example, instead of using `time.Sleep` directly:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
func my_func() {
|
|
time.Sleep(3 * time.Second)
|
|
do_something()
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
inject a clock and use its `Sleep` method instead:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
func my_func(clock clockwork.Clock) {
|
|
clock.Sleep(3 * time.Second)
|
|
do_something()
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now you can easily test `my_func` with a `FakeClock`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
func TestMyFunc(t *testing.T) {
|
|
c := clockwork.NewFakeClock()
|
|
|
|
// Start our sleepy function
|
|
my_func(c)
|
|
|
|
// Ensure we wait until my_func is sleeping
|
|
c.BlockUntil(1)
|
|
|
|
assert_state()
|
|
|
|
// Advance the FakeClock forward in time
|
|
c.Advance(3)
|
|
|
|
assert_state()
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and in production builds, simply inject the real clock instead:
|
|
```
|
|
my_func(clockwork.NewRealClock())
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See [example_test.go](example_test.go) for a full example.
