Microsoft.Extensions.TimeProvider.Testing

Provides a FakeTimeProvider for testing components that depend on System.TimeProvider.

Install the package

From the command-line:

dotnet add package Microsoft.Extensions.TimeProvider.Testing

Or directly in the C# project file:

<ItemGroup>
  <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Extensions.TimeProvider.Testing" Version="[CURRENTVERSION]" />
</ItemGroup>

Usage Example

FakeTimeProvider can be used to manually adjust time to test time dependent components in a deterministic way.

FakeTimeProvider derives from TimeProvider and adds the following APIs:

public FakeTimeProvider(DateTimeOffset startDateTime)
public DateTimeOffset Start { get; }
public TimeSpan AutoAdvanceAmount { get; set; }
public void SetUtcNow(DateTimeOffset value)
public void Advance(TimeSpan delta)
public void SetLocalTimeZone(TimeZoneInfo localTimeZone)

These can be used as follows:

var timeProvider = new FakeTimeProvider();
var myComponent = new MyComponent(timeProvider);
timeProvider.Advance(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5));
myComponent.CheckState();
