Hi People,<br>

<br>
Thanks Paul and others, timecop did indeed make the problems go away.<br>
<br>
Here's what I've done:<br>
<br>
<tt>When /^At "([^\"]*)" I go to (.*)$/ do |time_string, page_name|<br>
Timecop.travel(time_string) do<br>
When "I go to #{page_name}"<br>
end<br>
end</tt><br>
<br>
So then I can call the step:<br>
<br>
<tt>When At "10-10-2010 13:00:00" I go to the home page<br>
</tt><br>
And everything works perfectly.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks people, I'll leave you with the obligatory (terrible) Timecop

<div>Hi People,<br>
<br>
I'm having a strange issue with stubbing time and I was wondering if
anyone here could shed a little light on the issue.<br>
<br>
Firstly I am trying to stub Time.zone.now in Cucumber # Waits while
the calls of "<i>don't stub time in cucumber</i>" 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.<br>
<br>
What I have at the moment:<br>
<tt><br>
When /^I time-travel to "([^\"]*)"$/ do |time_string|<br>
time = Time.zone.parse(time_string)<br>
Time.zone.stub!(:now).and_return(time)<br>
end<br>
<br>
Then "I return to the present day" do<br>
Time.zone.unstub!(:now)<br>
end<br>
</tt><br>
And my features go along these lines:<br>
<tt><br>
When I time-travel to "2010/01/01 10:00:00"<br>
And I go to the home page<br>
Then I should see XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX<br>
Then </tt><tt>I return to the present day</tt><br>
<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Thus:<tt><br>
<br>
</tt><tt>(rdb:1) Time.zone.stub!(:now).and_return(:something)<br>

I have to unstub because the time stub seems to carry across scenarios.<br>
<br>
Has anyone else had this issue, or know of any other way to decently
handle present time in cucumber?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Will<br>
