Time

object Time extends TimeLikeOps[Time] with Serializable

Use Time.now in your program instead of System.currentTimeMillis, and unit tests will be able to adjust the current time to verify timeouts and other time-dependent behavior, without calling sleep.

If you import the com.twitter.conversions.time implicits you can write human-readable values such as 1.minute or 250.millis.

  36. def withCurrentTimeFrozen[A](body: (TimeControl) ⇒ A): A

    Runs the given body at the current time.

    Runs the given body at the current time. Makes for simple, fast, predictable unit tests that are dependent on time.

    Note, this intended for use in tests.

    Since this updates shared global state, there are risks about memory visibility with multi-threaded tests.

  37. def withTimeAt[A](time: Time)(body: (TimeControl) ⇒ A): A

    Runs the given body at a specified time.

    Runs the given body at a specified time. Makes for simple, fast, predictable unit tests that are dependent on time.

    Note, this intended for use in tests.

    Since this updates shared global state, there are risks about memory visibility with multi-threaded tests.

  38. def withTimeFunction[A](timeFunction: ⇒ Time)(body: (TimeControl) ⇒ A): A

    Execute body with the time function replaced by timeFunction WARNING: This functionality isn't thread safe, as Time.

    Execute body with the time function replaced by timeFunction WARNING: This functionality isn't thread safe, as Time.fn is a global! It must be used only for testing purpose.

    On some systems (os x), nanoTime is just epoch time with greater precision. On others (linux), it can be based on system uptime.

    TODO: This isn't always accurate, an NTP daemon may change at runtime, and so the offset effectively changes.
