trait MockClock extends Clock with Scheduler
MockClock makes it easy to deterministically and efficiently test effects
involving the passage of time.
Instead of waiting for actual time to pass, sleep and methods implemented
in terms of it schedule effects to take place at a given clock time. Users
can adjust the clock time using the adjust and setTime methods, and all
effects scheduled to take place on or before that time will automically be
run.
For example, here is how we can test ZIO.timeout using MockClock:
import zio.ZIO import zio.duration._ import zio.test.mock.MockClock for { fiber <- ZIO.sleep(5.minutes).timeout(1.minute).fork _ <- MockClock.adjust(1.minute) result <- fiber.join } yield result == None
Note how we forked the fiber that sleep was invoked on. Calls to sleep
and methods derived from it will semantically block until the time is
set to on or after the time they are scheduled to run. If we didn't fork the
fiber on which we called sleep we would never get to set the the time on the
line below. Thus, a useful pattern when using MockClock is to fork the
effect being tested, then adjust the clock to the desired time, and finally
verify that the expected effects have been performed.
Sleep and related combinators schedule events to occur at a specified
duration in the future relative to the current fiber time (e.g. 10 seconds
from the current fiber time). The fiber time is backed by a FiberRef and
is incremented for the duration each fiber is sleeping. Child fibers inherit
the fiber time of their parent so methods that rely on repeated sleep
calls work as you would expect.
For example, here is how we can test an effect that recurs with a fixed delay:
import zio.Queue import zio.duration._ import zio.test.mock.MockClock for { q <- Queue.unbounded[Unit] _ <- (q.offer(()).delay(60.minutes)).forever.fork a <- q.poll.map(_.isEmpty) _ <- MockClock.adjust(60.minutes) b <- q.take.as(true) c <- q.poll.map(_.isEmpty) _ <- MockClock.adjust(60.minutes) d <- q.take.as(true) e <- q.poll.map(_.isEmpty) } yield a && b && c && d && e
Here we verify that no effect is performed before the recurrence period, that an effect is performed after the recurrence period, and that the effect is performed exactly once. The key thing to note here is that after each recurrence the next recurrence is scheduled to occur at the appropriate time in the future, so when we adjust the clock by 60 minutes exactly one value is placed in the queue, and when we adjust the clock by another 60 minutes exactly one more value is placed in the queue.
