Hi,

I`m a bit lost around JUnit testing a TimerBoundaryEvent? Any ideas on how to stop/wait/pause/alter date to be able to test this?

I read somewhere about
activitiRule.setCurrentTime(new Date((new Date().getTime()+1000*60*5)));

But how do i set this half way through my unit test?

Thanks
Derick

Altering date that activiti uses can be done using the class org.activiti.engine.impl.util.ClockUtil.

But you still need to wait until the job-executor has finished processing the timer-job, after changing the current time. Take a look at the method waitForJobExecutorToProcessAllJobs on src.main.java.org.activiti.engine.impl.test.AbstractActivitiTestCase, for a safe way to do this…
