Question

How to mock the date using Jasmine?

Answer 1

The current date can also be mocked with the Jasmine Clock. If you don't give mockDate a base time, it will use the current date.

describe("Mocking the Date object", function(){

    it("mocks the Date object and sets to time", function() {

      var baseTime = new Date(2021, 9, 25);

¶

If you do not provide a base time to mockDate it will use the current date.

      jasmine.clock().mockDate(baseTime);

      jasmine.clock().tick(50);

      expect(new Date().getTime()).toEqual(baseTime.getTime() + 50);

    });

  });

});
