I think because I'm passing it a block, it's returning itself when the
block has finished. I seem to be getting normal spec durations at the
moment, but I remember in a previous project we had some silly
durations - probably exactly this problem.<br>

<pre wrap="">One thing to bear in mind with Timecop, particularly as your
application grows, is remembering to add a teardown with
Timecop.return in it; if you don't, the reported duration for running
your tests/specs/whatever will be something crazy like 163526.1231
seconds.

Thanks Paul and others, timecop did indeed make the problems go away.
Here's what I've done:
When /^At "([^\"]*)" I go to (.*)$/ do |time_string, page_name|
Timecop.travel(time_string) do
When "I go to #{page_name}"
end
end
So then I can call the step:
When At "10-10-2010 13:00:00" I go to the home page
And everything works perfectly.
Thanks people, I'll leave you with the obligatory (terrible) Timecop quote:
McComb: That's C-4. Not only will it turn this house into dust, but it will
also separate every part of you from every other part of you.

I'm using it (not within Cucumber, mind) and it works great.

Hi People,
I'm having a strange issue with stubbing time and I was wondering if
anyone here could shed a little light on the issue.
Firstly I am trying to stub Time.zone.now in Cucumber # Waits while the
calls of "don't stub time in cucumber" die down #. So the feature I'm
writing explicitly required different behaviour based on the current time,
and I would like the language of the feature to reflect this.
What I have at the moment:
When /^I time-travel to "([^\"]*)"$/ do |time_string|
time = Time.zone.parse(time_string)
Time.zone.stub!(:now).and_return(time)
end
Then "I return to the present day" do
Time.zone.unstub!(:now)
end
And my features go along these lines:
When I time-travel to "2010/01/01 10:00:00"
And I go to the home page
Then I should see XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Then I return to the present day
And I've got 2 scenarios running which use these quantum leaps. Each
scenario runs and passes when run on their own, but the second will fail if
the two are run together. After a bit more digging I found that
Time.zone.now cannot be stubbed if it has previously been unstubbed.
Thus:
(rdb:1) Time.zone.stub!(:now).and_return(:something)
#<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:Proc:0x051b55a8@/Users/will/Sites/five-tv/vendor/gems/rspec-1.3.0/lib/spec/mocks/message_expectation.rb:61"><Proc:0x051b55a8@/Users/will/Sites/five-tv/vendor/gems/rspec-1.3.0/lib/spec/mocks/message_expectation.rb:61></a>
(rdb:1) Time.zone.now
:something
(rdb:1) Time.zone.stub!(:now).and_return(:something_else)
#<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:Proc:0x051b55a8@/Users/will/Sites/five-tv/vendor/gems/rspec-1.3.0/lib/spec/mocks/message_expectation.rb:61"><Proc:0x051b55a8@/Users/will/Sites/five-tv/vendor/gems/rspec-1.3.0/lib/spec/mocks/message_expectation.rb:61></a>
(rdb:1) Time.zone.now
:something_else
(rdb:1) Time.zone.unstub!(:now)
#<Spec::Mocks::MessageExpectation:0x512c5dc @at_most=nil,
@exception_to_raise=nil, @args_to_yield_were_cloned=false.......
(rdb:1) Time.zone.now
Mon, 02 Aug 2010 10:28:56 BST +01:00
(rdb:1) Time.zone.stub!(:now).and_return(:another_thing)
#<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:Proc:0x051b55a8@/Users/will/Sites/five-tv/vendor/gems/rspec-1.3.0/lib/spec/mocks/message_expectation.rb:61"><Proc:0x051b55a8@/Users/will/Sites/five-tv/vendor/gems/rspec-1.3.0/lib/spec/mocks/message_expectation.rb:61></a>
(rdb:1) Time.zone.now
Mon, 02 Aug 2010 10:29:12 BST +01:00
I have to unstub because the time stub seems to carry across scenarios.
Has anyone else had this issue, or know of any other way to decently
handle present time in cucumber?
Thanks,
Will
