rspec-rails-time-metadata

This gem is a quick shim to use the Rails 4.1+ time helpers in your RSpec examples.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile (in the test group, preferably after rspec-rails):

gem 'rspec-rails-time-metadata', group: :test

And then execute:

$ bundle

Usage

The gem provides you two conveniences:

One is the ability to use all of the Rails time helpers (travel, travel_to, travel_back) directly in your RSpec examples.

The second is the ability to use (what I've found to be) the most common scenario, freezing time for the duration of a single example, by just applying the freeze_time metadata tag to the specific example you care about. A good example of this in use may be found in the specs for the gem itself

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
