Re: Mocking date and time in LiveServerTestCase?

Thanks for mentioning this, I didn't know it before!

However, I have not yet tried it, because I had hoped that there was a less
intrusive method to achieve similar results and mostly because I still find it
difficult to understand the ramifications of this approach with functional
tests, that is, when LiveServerTestCase takes the server part (to be affected by
forbiddenfruit) while the test case itself uses Selenium (and should, at least
in theory, not be affected, e.g. for taking time measurements or log time stamps).

Alas, I guess that I'll just give up and write my tests in a work-around manner
that circumvents details that depend on server time…

Best regards,
Carsten
