Time.time and Unittesting can't work together?
Hi,
If a unit test is run from Monodevelop that relies on Time.time
, this exception occurs:
System.MissingMethodException : Cannot find the requested method
E.g. this code:
[TestFixture]
public class Tests
{
[Test]
public void TestUnityTime()
{
var result = new Foo().UnityTime();
Assert.Greater(result, 0);
}
}
public class Foo
{
public float UnityTime()
{
return Time.time;
}
}
To be fair it does make sense that Unity's time doesn't run during a unit test. But, is there a way we can test time-using code in Unittests then? Can I manually start the timer? Have you found a way to mock it? How can one unit test any code that uses Time.time
?
Thanks

One way I'm trying now is to switch to this amazing alternative implementation of Time.time
:
public static class Time2
{
public static float time
{
get
{
float time;
try
{
time = Time.time;
} catch (System.MissingMethodException)
{
time = 0.0f;
}
return time;
}
}
}
I guess that'll work.
It does though, System.$$anonymous$$issing$$anonymous$$ethodException
is thrown when used in a unittest and run directly from $$anonymous$$onodevelop. Try running my post's code yourself.
