Unit testing Insert functions

[Danial968]

I am trying to write some unit tests for my Insert functions but the created_at and updated_at columns is using time.Now(). How can I override the return value so that it is a static timestamp.

Below is the code from the generated sqlboiler models.

	var err error
	currTime := time.Now().In(boil.GetLocation())

	if o.CreatedAt.IsZero() {
		o.CreatedAt = currTime
	}
	if queries.MustTime(o.UpdatedAt).IsZero() {
		queries.SetScanner(&o.UpdatedAt, currTime)
	}

You can either set the time yourself, or register a BeforeInsertHook to set the time.

Thanks for the reply, I would like to set the time myself but I am unsure of how to go about doing it.

The generated code is using the default time package and I am not sure how I can overwrite that function.

Could you share a snippet of how I can set the time myself.

Documentation for hooks is here.

If you want to explicitly use hooks for this, you may disable hooks in the generated code entirely using the flag --no-hooks
