Travel in time during testing a Rails application

Travel in time during testing a Rails application

During testing an application, written with Rails, it’s often needed to check that some event has to be occurred in the future after performing some actions. For example, when a user signs up on “22 July 2017” he gets a bonus. In order to test this manually, the current time has to be set to “22 July 2017”. At first glance, it looks like a pretty trivial task. Just open system settings, disable synchronization with the servers that provide current time and change the local current time for the operating system. This will work and there is no surprise here. But problems come later when the current time is not returned back to the real current time. This is the list of possible problems: messages in chats are messed up, secured sites can’t be opened because of the complaints about HTTPS issues, a commit can be created with wrong timestamps and the version control system’s history is cluttered and so on and so forth. So if these problems look familiar for you, welcome aboard and enjoy the thoughts flow! read more
