    • Method Detail

      • getTime

        LocalDateTime getTime()
        Returns the current business time. This will be the time of the system the application is running on by default but can be adjusted by calling forward(Duration).
        Returns:
      • forward

        void forward​(Duration duration)
        Forwards the current time with the given Duration. Calling the method multiple times will accumulate durations.
        Parameters:
        duration -
      • getOffset

        Duration getOffset()
        Returns the current offset between the real time and the virtual one created by calling forward(Duration).
        Returns:
      • reset

        void reset()
        Undoes any forwarding. Afterwards any call to getTime() will be equivalent to the system's time again.
