RSpec::TimeStop

Stop current time in example.

This is a shorthand of ActiveSupport::Testing::TimeHelpers

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rspec-time_stop'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rspec-time_stop

Add :time_stop to it, describe or context

RSpec.describe RSpec::TimeStop do
  context "with :time_stop", :time_stop do
    it "current time is frozen" do
      before_time = Time.now
      sleep 1
      after_time = Time.now

      expect(after_time).to eq before_time
    end
  end

  context "without :time_stop" do
    it "current time is not frozen" do
      before_time = Time.now
      sleep 1
      after_time = Time.now

      expect(after_time).to be > before_time
    end

    it "current time is frozen when :time_stop is granted", :time_stop do
      before_time = Time.now
      sleep 1
      after_time = Time.now

      expect(after_time).to eq before_time
    end
  end
end
