Fake Timers

[kudla]

Hi there
Guys please what are the bets practices for mocking system time within AVA?

It had no luck to fake timers on beforeEach just on before hooks. but anyway it concurrently races mocking the time

Searching for examples I've just found several suggestions to go with serial approach.
But I hope it to be not the only solution as it nullifies one of the principal advantages using AVA.

So for now I'm trying to setup test isolation over sandboxing subject modules with

• vm2
• sinon

but so far just stuck a little with vm2 it self.

So maybe there're some other flows exists which are more simple?

Would you share your experience?
Any examples?

Thanks.

setTimeout, Date, etc are globals, so shared between all running code in the process or worker thread. You cannot fake them and then also run concurrent tests.
