Manipulation of Time for testing purposes

[felix200912]

I am wondering if there are ways to mock time in fuel vm similar to sending ‘evm_increaseTime’ rpc in solidity testing.

There’s an API for this, but it’s not currently working in the Rust SDK. Should be fixed in the next release.

Here’s the relevant documentation:

https://rust.fuel.network/v0.41.0/testing/chains.html

Some relevant threads:

Setting block timestamp not reflecting timestamp inside Fuel VM

I’m running into the same problem @buddy-brontosaurus had here: I can use the SDK to set block timestamps, and this works normally if I query from Rust using provider.get_blocks. However, when I call the following code in my Sway contract: fn get_time() -> u64 { timestamp() } …it returns the current time, (4611686020106380522), not the custom time that I tried to specify.

Is there any way to manipulate the block timestamps?

Is there any way to manipulate the block timestamps in my test?
