Types

type Clock

type Clock interface {
	After(d time.Duration) <-chan time.Time
	Sleep(d time.Duration)
	Now() time.Time
}

Clock provides an interface that packages can use instead of directly using the time module, so that chronology-related behavior can be tested

func NewRealClock

func NewRealClock() Clock

NewRealClock returns a Clock which simply delegates calls to the actual time package; it should be used by packages in production.

type FakeClock

type FakeClock interface {
	Clock
	// Advance advances the FakeClock to a new point in time, ensuring any existing
	// sleepers are notified appropriately before returning
	Advance(d time.Duration)
	// BlockUntil will block until the FakeClock has the given number of
	// sleepers (callers of Sleep or After)
	BlockUntil(n int)
}

FakeClock provides an interface for a clock which can be manually advanced through time

func NewFakeClock

func NewFakeClock() FakeClock

NewFakeClock returns a FakeClock implementation which can be manually advanced through time for testing.
