如何在单元测试 (Unit Test) 中模拟 DateTime.Now

这个问题其实比较简单，只要实现一个接口，让它返回现在的时间就可以了。比如用类似下面的代码：

    /// <summary>
    /// This interface is to provide current time so that we can setup current date time in unit test based on our purpose.
    /// </summary>
    public interface IDateTimeProvider
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// Get current date time.
        /// </summary>
        DateTime Now { get; }
    }

在代码中，你可以用下面的类：

    /// <summary>
    /// Implemenation of IDateTimeProvider.
    /// </summary>
    public class DateTimeProvider : IDateTimeProvider
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// Return the current date time.
        /// </summary>
        public DateTime Now => DateTime.Now;
    }

但是在单元测试中，你应该用Mock来指定你需要的时间：

[TestMethod]
public void MyTimeSpan_should_return_the_time_after_created()
{
    var datetimeMock = new Mock<IDateTimeProvider>();

    
    var now = DateTime.Now;
    datetimeMock.Setup(o => o.Now).Returns(now);    
    var myTimeSpan = new MyTimeSpan(datetimeMock.Object)
    datetimeMock.Setup(o => o.Now).Returns(now.AddSeconds(70));
	int timePassed = myTimeSpan.TimePassed()

    Assert.AreEqual(70, timepassed);
}
