Setting block timestamp not reflecting timestamp inside Fuel VM

[FossilFrank]

I’m running into the same problem @buddy-brontosaurus had here:

Is there any way to manipulate the block timestamps?

Ah thanks → I am now getting panicked at 'called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: Custom { kind: Other, error: "Response errors; The start time must be set after the latest block time: 4611686020102744001" }', tests/harness.rs:84:80 This is weird because before I execute the code that produced blocks, I do chain_info().await.unwrap().latest_block; and that returns block number 1 and block time is None.

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.
