Class TestTime

  • public class TestTime
extends java.lang.Object
    Sets the application time to a date at which every certificate of the test material behaves as its test expects.

    A target whose clock is not set boots in 1970, which is outside the validity window of every certificate the suite loads, so the certificate tests fail for a reason that has nothing to do with the backend. Each test class that loads a certificate calls setUp() before its first test.

    The date has to satisfy every certificate at once, which leaves one window:

    • after November 2023, the earliest a certificate the suite expects to be valid becomes valid;
    • before November 2053, when the certificate the suite expects to be not yet valid becomes valid;
    • after January 2020, so that the two deliberately expired certificates of the certification path are expired.
    The default sits in the middle of that window. A VEE Port whose backend rejects it can move it with the "date" property, within the same bounds.

    • Method Detail

      • setUp

        public static void setUp()
        Sets the application time to the configured date.

        Does nothing when the platform does not let the application set its time, and the tests then run at the current time of the platform. A VEE Port can refuse: on Linux, setting the system clock needs a privilege the run may not have. A plain JVM has no ej.bon.Util at all.

        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalStateException - if "date" is not a YYYY-MM-DD date
