Feature: Frozen clock in Behat
In order to write tests that depend on the current system time
As a test writer
I need to set the time using a Behat step
Background:
Given the following "courses" exist:
| fullname | shortname |
| Course 1 | C1 |
And the following "activities" exist:
| activity | course | name | idnumber | externalurl |
| url | C1 | Fixture | url1 | #wwwroot#/admin/tool/behat/tests/fixtures/core/showtime.php |
| forum | C1 | TestForum | forum1 | |
Scenario: Time has been frozen
# Set up 2 forum discussions at different times. This tests the clock in the Behat CLI process.
Given the time is frozen at "2024-03-01 12:34:56"
And the following "mod_forum > discussions" exist:
| user | forum | name | message |
| admin | forum1 | Subject1 | Message1 |
And the time is frozen at "2024-08-01 12:34:56"
And the following "mod_forum > discussions" exist:
| user | forum | name | message |
| admin | forum1 | Subject2 | Message2 |
When I am on the "TestForum" "forum activity" page logged in as admin
Then I should see "1 Mar 2024" in the "Subject1" "table_row"
And I should see "1 Aug 2024" in the "Subject2" "table_row"
# Also view time on the fixture page. This tests the clock for Behat web server requests.
And I am on the "Fixture" "url activity" page
And I should see "Behat time is not the same as real time"
# This Unix time corresponds to 12:34:56 in Perth time zone.
And I should see "Unix time 1722486896"
And I should see "Date-time 2024-08-01 12:34:56"
# This scenario is second, to verify that the clock automatically goes back to normal after test.
Scenario: Time is normal
Given the following "mod_forum > discussions" exist:
| user | forum | name | message |
| admin | forum1 | Subject1 | Message1 |
When I am on the "TestForum" "forum activity" page logged in as admin
# The time should be the real current time, not the frozen time.
Then I should see "## today ##%d %b %Y##" in the "Subject1" "table_row"
And I am on the "Fixture" "url activity" page
And I should see "Behat time is the same as real time"
Scenario: Time is frozen and then unfrozen
Given the time is frozen at "2024-03-01 12:34:56"
And the following "mod_forum > discussions" exist:
| user | forum | name | message |
| admin | forum1 | Subject1 | Message1 |
And the time is no longer frozen
And the following "mod_forum > discussions" exist:
| user | forum | name | message |
| admin | forum1 | Subject2 | Message2 |
When I am on the "TestForum" "forum activity" page logged in as admin
Then I should see "1 Mar 2024" in the "Subject1" "table_row"
# The time should be the real current time, not the frozen time for this entry.
And I should see "## today ##%d %b %Y##" in the "Subject2" "table_row"
And I am on the "Fixture" "url activity" page
And I should see "Behat time is the same as real time"
