ruby on rails - Rspec surrounding shared_example with timecop -


i trying wrap timecop around shared_example spec wrote

describe "timecop wrapping shared example"    timecop.freeze(1.day.ago)       it_behaves_like "a shared example test using timecop"    end end  shared_examples "a shared example test using timecop"    before :all       puts "the current time #{time.now}"    end     ... expect ... end

but running spec still uses real time , not frozen one

can timecop work this?

how else can wrap large pieces of test file change time running

timecop needs execute within or before block.

the following change fix problem.

describe "timecop wrapping shared example" before { timecop.freeze(1.day.ago) } it_behaves_like "a shared example test using timecop" end

rspec reset environment(including timecop) after running each example.

a couple of tips i've found time travel in tests might useful:

  • timecop.travel more reflective of how code work in real life time never stays still. can use same way freeze, swap out freeze method travel.

  • if have rails 4.1 or newer there great time travel tools built in , can drop timecop gem. here blog post , the docs if want learn more.

What is happening when Matlab is starting a "parallel pool"? -

running parallel cpu processes in matlab starts command parpool() according documentation , function: [creates] special job on pool of workers, , [connects] matlab client parallel pool. this function takes bit of time execute, on order of 30 seconds. in other multi-cpu paradigms openmp, parallel execution seems totally transparent -- i've never noticed behavior analogous matlab (granted i'm not experienced parallel programming). so, happening between time parpool() called , when finishes executing? takes long? parallel computing toolbox enables run matlab code in parallel using several different paradigms (e.g. jobs , tasks, parfor , spmd , parfeval , batch processing), , run either locally (parallelised across cores in local machine) or remotely (parallelised across machines in cluster - either 1 own, or 1 in cloud). in of these cases, code run on matlab workers , copies of matlab without interactive desktop. if you're intending run on remo...
