clockwork
=========
[](https://travis-ci.org/jonboulle/clockwork)
[](http://godoc.org/github.com/jonboulle/clockwork)
a simple fake clock for golang
# Usage
Replace uses of the `time` package with the `clockwork.Clock` interface instead.
For example, instead of using `time.Sleep` directly:
```
func my_func() {
time.Sleep(3 * time.Second)
do_something()
}
```
inject a clock and use its `Sleep` method instead:
```
func my_func(clock clockwork.Clock) {
clock.Sleep(3 * time.Second)
do_something()
}
```
Now you can easily test `my_func` with a `FakeClock`:
```
func TestMyFunc(t *testing.T) {
c := clockwork.NewFakeClock()
// Start our sleepy function
my_func(c)
// Ensure we wait until my_func is sleeping
c.BlockUntil(1)
assert_state()
// Advance the FakeClock forward in time
c.Advance(3)
assert_state()
}
```
and in production builds, simply inject the real clock instead:
```
my_func(clockwork.NewRealClock())
```
See [example_test.go](example_test.go) for a full example.

clockwork is inspired by @wickman's [threaded fake clock](https://gist.github.com/wickman/3840816), and the [Golang playground](http://blog.golang.org/playground#Faking time)
