Live

The Live trait provides access to the "live" environment from within the test environment for effects such as printing test results to the console or timing out tests where it is necessary to access the real environment.

The easiest way to access the "live" environment is to use the live method with an effect that would otherwise access the test environment.

import zio.Clock
import zio.test.environment._

val realTime = live(Clock.nanoTime)

The withLive method can be used to apply a transformation to an effect with the live environment while ensuring that the effect itself still runs with the test environment, for example to time out a test. Both of these methods are re-exported in the environment package for easy availability.
