devel/rubygem-timecop 0.9.11 FreeBSD

timecop is a gem providing "time travel" and "time freezing" capabilities, making it dead simple to test time-dependent code. It provides a unified method to mock Time.now, Date.today, and DateTime.now in a single call.

Features:

• Freeze time to a specific point.
• Travel back to a specific point in time, but allow time to continue moving forward from there.
• Scale time by a given scaling factor that will cause time to move at an accelerated pace.
• No dependencies, can be used with any ruby project
• Timecop api allows arguments to be passed into #freeze and #travel as one of the following:
  • Time instance
  • DateTime instance
  • Date instance
  • individual arguments (year, month, day, hour, minute, second)
  • a single integer argument that is interpreted as an offset in seconds from Time.now
• Nested calls to Timecop#travel and Timecop#freeze are supported -- each block will maintain its interpretation of now.
• Works with regular Ruby projects, and Ruby on Rails projects
