Rufus-scheduler and automatic test

[gdo]

Hello,

I use rufus-scheduler in my program and it's work very fine (thanks
for this gem).

But now, I need to do automatic test and in the code you use Time.now
and I can't control the system date to repeat my test.

Is it possible to replace Time.now by

def Rufus.time_now
if $rufus_time == nil
return Time.now
else
return $rufus_time
end
end

with this code I obtain a fine control on time to repeat my tests.

Best regards

Hello Guillaume,

why not simply override Time.now at the beginning of your tests?

def Time.now
# return your test time...
end

If you want something a bit more sophisticated:

There are other such time stopping gems, but I only remember this one.

Best regards,
