This Pest plugin offers a function testTime that allows you to freeze and manipulate the current time in your tests.
use function Spatie\PestPluginTestTime\testTime;
testTime()->freeze(); // time will not change anymore
testTime()->addMinute(); // move time forward one minuteIt also contains a custom expectation called toBeCarbon to easily check the values of Carbon instances.
$carbon = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s', '2022-05-31 01:02:03');
// make an expectation on the whole date, including time
expect($carbon)->toBeCarbon('2022-05-31 01:02:03');
// make an expectation on only the date part
expect($carbon)->toBeCarbon('2022-05-31');
// explicitly pass in a format
expect($carbon)->toBeCarbon('2022', 'Y');

This package is a wrapper around Carbon's setTestNow() function. Therefore, you can only use this Pest plugin only in projects that use Carbon.
You can install the package via composer:
composer require spatie/pest-plugin-test-time --devYou can call freeze on the testTime function to freeze the current time.
use Carbon\Carbon;
use function Spatie\PestPluginTestTime\testTime;
testTime()->freeze(); // the current time will not change anymore
Carbon::now(); // returns the time
sleep(2);
Carbon::now(); // will return the same time as aboveYou can also freeze the time at a specific point by passing the time in format Y-m-d H:i:s.
testTime()->freeze('2021-01-02 12:34:56');
\Carbon\Carbon::now()->format('Y-m-d H:i:s') // returns '2021-01-02 12:34:56';You can change the time, by calling any of the add and sub functions that are available on Carbon.
testTime()->freeze('2021-01-02 12:34:56');
testTime()->addHour(); // time is now at '2021-01-02 13:34:56'
// you can even chain method calls
testTime()->subMinute()->addSeconds(2); // time is now at '2021-01-02 13:33:58'This package offers a custom expectation called toBeCarbon to easily check the value of a Carbon instance.
$carbon = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s', '2022-05-31 01:02:03');
// make an expectation on the whole date, including time
expect($carbon)->toBeCarbon('2022-05-31 01:02:03');
// make an expectation on only the date part
expect($carbon)->toBeCarbon('2022-05-31');
// explicitly pass in a format
