我有一些单元测试,期望“当前时间”与DateTime不同。显然,我不想改变电脑的时间。
实现这一目标的最佳策略是什么?

关于@crabcrusherclamcollector的回答,在EF查询中使用这种方法时存在问题。NotSupportedException: LINQ to Entities不支持LINQ表达式节点类型“Invoke”。我将实现修改为:
public static class SystemTime
{
private static Func<DateTime> UtcNowFunc = () => DateTime.UtcNow;
public static void SetDateTime(DateTime dateTimeNow)
{
UtcNowFunc = () => dateTimeNow;
}
public static void ResetDateTime()
{
UtcNowFunc = () => DateTime.UtcNow;
}
public static DateTime UtcNow
{
get
{
DateTime now = UtcNowFunc.Invoke();
return now;
}
}
}
其他回答
这些都是很好的答案,这是我在另一个项目中所做的:
用法:
获取今天的真实日期时间
var today = SystemTime.Now().Date;
而不是使用DateTime。现在,你需要使用SystemTime.Now()…这并不难改变,但这种解决方案可能并不适合所有项目。
时间旅行(让我们去5年后)
SystemTime.SetDateTime(today.AddYears(5));
获得我们虚假的“今天”(从“今天”开始算起5年)
var fakeToday = SystemTime.Now().Date;
重置日期
SystemTime.ResetDateTime();
/// <summary>
/// Used for getting DateTime.Now(), time is changeable for unit testing
/// </summary>
public static class SystemTime
{
/// <summary> Normally this is a pass-through to DateTime.Now, but it can be overridden with SetDateTime( .. ) for testing or debugging.
/// </summary>
public static Func<DateTime> Now = () => DateTime.Now;
/// <summary> Set time to return when SystemTime.Now() is called.
/// </summary>
public static void SetDateTime(DateTime dateTimeNow)
{
Now = () => dateTimeNow;
}
/// <summary> Resets SystemTime.Now() to return DateTime.Now.
/// </summary>
public static void ResetDateTime()
{
Now = () => DateTime.Now;
}
}
关于模拟DateTime有一个特别的注意事项。现在使用TypeMock…
DateTime的值。现在必须放置到一个变量中,以便正确地模拟。例如:
这行不通:
if ((DateTime.Now - message.TimeOpened.Value) > new TimeSpan(1, 0, 0))
然而,这样做:
var currentDateTime = DateTime.Now;
if ((currentDateTime - message.TimeOpened.Value) > new TimeSpan(1, 0, 0))
使用ThreadLocal<T>的线程安全SystemClock非常适合我。
ThreadLocal<T>在. net Framework v4.0及更高版本中可用。
/// <summary>
/// Provides access to system time while allowing it to be set to a fixed <see cref="DateTime"/> value.
/// </summary>
/// <remarks>
/// This class is thread safe.
/// </remarks>
public static class SystemClock
{
private static readonly ThreadLocal<Func<DateTime>> _getTime =
new ThreadLocal<Func<DateTime>>(() => () => DateTime.Now);
/// <inheritdoc cref="DateTime.Today"/>
public static DateTime Today
{
get { return _getTime.Value().Date; }
}
/// <inheritdoc cref="DateTime.Now"/>
public static DateTime Now
{
get { return _getTime.Value(); }
}
/// <inheritdoc cref="DateTime.UtcNow"/>
public static DateTime UtcNow
{
get { return _getTime.Value().ToUniversalTime(); }
}
/// <summary>
/// Sets a fixed (deterministic) time for the current thread to return by <see cref="SystemClock"/>.
/// </summary>
public static void Set(DateTime time)
{
if (time.Kind != DateTimeKind.Local)
time = time.ToLocalTime();
_getTime.Value = () => time;
}
/// <summary>
/// Resets <see cref="SystemClock"/> to return the current <see cref="DateTime.Now"/>.
/// </summary>
public static void Reset()
{
_getTime.Value = () => DateTime.Now;
}
}
使用的例子:
[TestMethod]
public void Today()
{
SystemClock.Set(new DateTime(2015, 4, 3));
DateTime expectedDay = new DateTime(2015, 4, 2);
DateTime yesterday = SystemClock.Today.AddDays(-1D);
Assert.AreEqual(expectedDay, yesterday);
SystemClock.Reset();
}
一种简单的方法是注入VirtualTime。它可以让你控制时间。 首先安装VirtualTime
Install-Package VirtualTime
例如,这允许在所有对DateTime的调用上使时间加快5倍。Now或UtcNow
var DateTime = DateTime.Now.ToVirtualTime(5);
放慢时间(如放慢5倍)
var DateTime = DateTime.Now.ToVirtualTime(0.5);
让时间静止
var DateTime = DateTime.Now.ToVirtualTime(0);
回到过去还没有测试过
下面是一个测试示例:
[TestMethod]
public void it_should_make_time_move_faster()
{
int speedOfTimePerMs = 1000;
int timeToPassMs = 3000;
int expectedElapsedVirtualTime = speedOfTimePerMs * timeToPassMs;
DateTime whenTimeStarts = DateTime.Now;
ITime time = whenTimeStarts.ToVirtualTime(speedOfTimePerMs);
Thread.Sleep(timeToPassMs);
DateTime expectedTime = DateTime.Now.AddMilliseconds(expectedElapsedVirtualTime - timeToPassMs);
DateTime virtualTime = time.Now;
Assert.IsTrue(TestHelper.AreEqualWithinMarginOfError(expectedTime, virtualTime, MarginOfErrorMs));
}
你可以在这里查看更多测试:
https://github.com/VirtualTime/VirtualTime/blob/master/VirtualTimeLib.Tests/when_virtual_time_is_used.cs
什么DateTime.Now.ToVirtualTime扩展给你是一个ITime的实例,你传递给一个依赖于ITime的方法/类。一些DateTime.Now.ToVirtualTime被设置在你选择的DI容器中
下面是注入类构造函数的另一个例子
public class AlarmClock
{
private ITime DateTime;
public AlarmClock(ITime dateTime, int numberOfHours)
{
DateTime = dateTime;
SetTime = DateTime.UtcNow.AddHours(numberOfHours);
Task.Run(() =>
{
while (!IsAlarmOn)
{
IsAlarmOn = (SetTime - DateTime.UtcNow).TotalMilliseconds < 0;
}
});
}
public DateTime SetTime { get; set; }
public bool IsAlarmOn { get; set; }
}
[TestMethod]
public void it_can_be_injected_as_a_dependency()
{
//virtual time has to be 1000*3.75 faster to get to an hour
//in 1000 ms real time
var dateTime = DateTime.Now.ToVirtualTime(1000 * 3.75);
var numberOfHoursBeforeAlarmSounds = 1;
var alarmClock = new AlarmClock(dateTime, numberOfHoursBeforeAlarmSounds);
Assert.IsFalse(alarmClock.IsAlarmOn);
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);
Assert.IsTrue(alarmClock.IsAlarmOn);
}
我很惊讶没有人提出一个最明显的方法:
public class TimeDependentClass
{
public void TimeDependentMethod(DateTime someTime)
{
if (GetCurrentTime() > someTime) DoSomething();
}
protected virtual DateTime GetCurrentTime()
{
return DateTime.Now; // or UtcNow
}
}
然后,您可以简单地在测试double中重写此方法。
在某些情况下,我还喜欢注入一个TimeProvider类,但对于其他情况,这就足够了。不过,如果需要在多个类中重用TimeProvider版本,我可能更喜欢它。
编辑:对于任何感兴趣的人来说,这被称为向类中添加“接缝”,在这个点上,您可以钩入它的行为来修改它(用于测试目的或其他),而无需实际更改类中的代码。
