Hello,
I would like to share my new gem which myself and my QA team already found useful and maybe your team could find too.
https://github.com/igorkasyanchuk/rails_time_travel
The idea is very simple - sometimes you need to add data in the past, and overide Time.now
.
I believe you already familiar with the gem https://github.com/travisjeffery/timecop which is very useful for testing.
And my gem is basically providing a simple UI to "control" current time (per user).
module RailsTimeTravel
module Controller
extend ActiveSupport::Concern
included do
around_action :time_travel_for_request
end
def time_travel_for_request
time_travel
yield
time_travel_return
end
def time_travel
if session[:timecop_date]
logger.info "TIME TRAVEL START: #{session[:timecop_date]}"
Timecop.travel(session[:timecop_date])
else
Timecop.return
end
end
def time_travel_return
logger.info 'TIME TRAVEL RETURN'
Timecop.return
end
end
end
Most of the logic is simple and was taken from the stackoverflow, and only a simple control panel was codded to change datetime.
To use this gem just add it to the Gemfile
, bundle install and start the app. During start is adding ruby module above to the ApplicationController so this code will be executed on every request.
Once a server is running just open /rails/time_travel
.
I hope you'll find it useful too!
