+time_warp
+=========
+
+When writing tests, it is often desirable to bend time in order to test limits
+and edges of the day.  It is especially useful to warp time to test results
+across the timezones of the world.  Manipulating time is also useful to assure
+a day of the week, month or year every time the test runs.
+
+Some may say "Why not just mock Time#now?"  I see the point, but I find
+mocking around with baseline Ruby classes to be asking for trouble.  Eventually
+unusual behavior will rear its head and a day will be lost debugging
+tests - the most excruciating debugging one can be subjected to.
+
+
+Installation
+============
+
+script/plugin install git://github.com/bjhess/time_warp.git
+
+
+Example
+=======
+
+And now a contrived example.  In this case, the goal is to let the full
+mechanics of Rails execute.  Yes, this test will even hit the database! The
+goal is to assure a particular day of week when each test method executes:
+
+  require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../test_helper'
+  class CompanyTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
+
+  def setup
+    @company = companies(:acme)
+  end
+
+  def test_should_find_company_needing_reminded_today
+    pretend_now_is(Time.utc(2008,"jul",24,20)) do #=> Thu Jul 24 20:00:00 UTC 2008
+      @company.reminder_day = 'Thursday'
+      @company.save
+      companies = Company.find_companies_needing_reminded_today
+      assert_equal true, companies.include?(@company)
+    end
+  end
+
+  def test_should_not_find_company_needing_reminded_tomorrow
+    pretend_now_is(Time.utc(2008,"jul",24,20)) do #=> Thu Jul 24 20:00:00 UTC 2008
+      @company.reminder_day = 'Friday'
+      @company.save
+      companies = Company.find_companies_needing_reminded_today
+      assert_equal false, companies.include?(@company)
+    end
+  end
+
+  def test_should_not_find_company_needing_reminded_yesterday
+    pretend_now_is(Time.utc(2008,"jul",24,20)) do #=> Thu Jul 24 20:00:00 UTC 2008
+      @company.reminder_day = 'Wednesday'
+      @company.save
+      companies = Company.find_companies_needing_reminded_today
+      assert_equal false, companies.include?(@company)
+    end
+  end
+end
