Is there an easy way to stub out time.Now() globally during test?

Question

Part of our code is time sensitive and we need to able to reserve something and then release it in 30-60 seconds etc, which we can just do a time.Sleep(60 * time.Secon

Answer 1

We have open-sourced a library that we've been using internally for this purpose: https://github.com/cabify/timex

It offers same API as the native time package but the implementation can be replaced in runtime from the tests.

It is a mix of the solutions that @Flimzy proposed previously.
