我们使用的是静态SystemTime对象，但是在运行并行单元测试时遇到了问题。我尝试使用Henk van Boeijen的解决方案，但在派生异步线程上有问题，最终以类似于下面的方式使用AsyncLocal:

public static class Clock
{
    private static Func<DateTime> _utcNow = () => DateTime.UtcNow;

    static AsyncLocal<Func<DateTime>> _override = new AsyncLocal<Func<DateTime>>();

    public static DateTime UtcNow => (_override.Value ?? _utcNow)();

    public static void Set(Func<DateTime> func)
    {
        _override.Value = func;
    }

    public static void Reset()
    {
        _override.Value = null;
    }
}

我很惊讶没有人提出一个最明显的方法:

public class TimeDependentClass
{
    public void TimeDependentMethod(DateTime someTime)
    {
        if (GetCurrentTime() > someTime) DoSomething();
    }

    protected virtual DateTime GetCurrentTime()
    {
        return DateTime.Now; // or UtcNow
    }
}

然后，您可以简单地在测试double中重写此方法。

在某些情况下，我还喜欢注入一个TimeProvider类，但对于其他情况，这就足够了。不过，如果需要在多个类中重用TimeProvider版本，我可能更喜欢它。

编辑:对于任何感兴趣的人来说，这被称为向类中添加“接缝”，在这个点上，您可以钩入它的行为来修改它(用于测试目的或其他)，而无需实际更改类中的代码。

我也有同样的问题，但我在想我们不应该在同一类上使用设置日期时间的东西。因为有一天可能会导致滥用。我使用了提供商

public class DateTimeProvider
{
    protected static DateTime? DateTimeNow;
    protected static DateTime? DateTimeUtcNow;

    public DateTime Now
    {
        get
        {
            return DateTimeNow ?? System.DateTime.Now;
        }
    }

    public DateTime UtcNow
    {
        get
        {
            return DateTimeUtcNow ?? System.DateTime.UtcNow;
        }
    }

    public static DateTimeProvider DateTime
    {
        get
        {
            return new DateTimeProvider();
        }
    }

    protected DateTimeProvider()
    {       
    }
}

对于测试，在测试项目中创建了一个助手来处理设置的事情，

public class MockDateTimeProvider : DateTimeProvider
{
    public static void SetNow(DateTime now)
    {
        DateTimeNow = now;
    }

    public static void SetUtcNow(DateTime utc)
    {
        DateTimeUtcNow = utc;
    }

    public static void RestoreAsDefault()
    {
        DateTimeNow = null;
        DateTimeUtcNow = null;
    }
}

在代码

var dateTimeNow = DateTimeProvider.DateTime.Now         //not DateTime.Now
var dateTimeUtcNow = DateTimeProvider.DateTime.UtcNow   //not DateTime.UtcNow

在测试中

[Test]
public void Mocked_Now()
{
    DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
    MockDateTimeProvider.SetNow(now);    //set to mock
    Assert.AreEqual(now, DateTimeProvider.DateTime.Now);
    Assert.AreNotEqual(now, DateTimeProvider.DateTime.UtcNow);
}

[Test]
public void Mocked_UtcNow()
{
    DateTime utcNow = DateTime.UtcNow;
    MockDateTimeProvider.SetUtcNow(utcNow);   //set to mock
    Assert.AreEqual(utcNow, DateTimeProvider.DateTime.UtcNow);
    Assert.AreNotEqual(utcNow, DateTimeProvider.DateTime.Now);
}

但需要记住一件事，有时真正的DateTime和提供程序的DateTime并不相同

[Test]
public void Now()
{
    Assert.AreEqual(DateTime.Now.Kind, DateTimeProvider.DateTime.Now.Kind);
    Assert.LessOrEqual(DateTime.Now, DateTimeProvider.DateTime.Now);
    Assert.LessOrEqual(DateTimeProvider.DateTime.Now - DateTime.Now, TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1));
}

我假设差异是maximum TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(0.00002)。但大多数时候甚至更少

在MockSamples中找到样本

以下是我对这个问题的回答。我将“环境上下文”模式与IDisposable结合起来。你可以使用DateTimeProvider。当前在您的正常程序代码和测试中，您使用using语句覆盖范围。

using System;
using System.Collections.Immutable;


namespace ambientcontext {

public abstract class DateTimeProvider : IDisposable
{
    private static ImmutableStack<DateTimeProvider> stack = ImmutableStack<DateTimeProvider>.Empty.Push(new DefaultDateTimeProvider());

    protected DateTimeProvider()
    {
        if (this.GetType() != typeof(DefaultDateTimeProvider))
            stack = stack.Push(this);
    }

    public static DateTimeProvider Current => stack.Peek();
    public abstract DateTime Today { get; }
    public abstract DateTime Now {get; }

    public void Dispose()
    {
        if (this.GetType() != typeof(DefaultDateTimeProvider))
            stack = stack.Pop();
    }

    // Not visible Default Implementation 
    private class DefaultDateTimeProvider : DateTimeProvider {
        public override DateTime Today => DateTime.Today; 
        public override DateTime Now => DateTime.Now; 
    }
}
}

下面是如何在单元测试中使用上述DateTimeProvider

using System;
using Xunit;

namespace ambientcontext
{
    public class TestDateTimeProvider
    {
        [Fact]
        public void TestDateTime()
        {
            var actual = DateTimeProvider.Current.Today;
            var expected = DateTime.Today;

            Assert.Equal<DateTime>(expected, actual);

            using (new MyDateTimeProvider(new DateTime(2012,12,21)))
            {
                Assert.Equal(2012, DateTimeProvider.Current.Today.Year);

                using (new MyDateTimeProvider(new DateTime(1984,4,4)))
                {
                    Assert.Equal(1984, DateTimeProvider.Current.Today.Year);    
                }

                Assert.Equal(2012, DateTimeProvider.Current.Today.Year);
            }

            // Fall-Back to Default DateTimeProvider 
            Assert.Equal<int>(expected.Year,  DateTimeProvider.Current.Today.Year);
        }

        private class MyDateTimeProvider : DateTimeProvider 
        {
            private readonly DateTime dateTime; 

            public MyDateTimeProvider(DateTime dateTime):base()
            {
                this.dateTime = dateTime; 
            }

            public override DateTime Today => this.dateTime.Date;

            public override DateTime Now => this.dateTime;
        }
    }
}

模拟对象。

一个模拟DateTime，返回适合您的测试的Now。

使用ThreadLocal<T>的线程安全SystemClock非常适合我。

ThreadLocal<T>在. net Framework v4.0及更高版本中可用。

/// <summary>
/// Provides access to system time while allowing it to be set to a fixed <see cref="DateTime"/> value.
/// </summary>
/// <remarks>
/// This class is thread safe.
/// </remarks>
public static class SystemClock
{
    private static readonly ThreadLocal<Func<DateTime>> _getTime =
        new ThreadLocal<Func<DateTime>>(() => () => DateTime.Now);

    /// <inheritdoc cref="DateTime.Today"/>
    public static DateTime Today
    {
        get { return _getTime.Value().Date; }
    }

    /// <inheritdoc cref="DateTime.Now"/>
    public static DateTime Now
    {
        get { return _getTime.Value(); }
    }

    /// <inheritdoc cref="DateTime.UtcNow"/>
    public static DateTime UtcNow
    {
        get { return _getTime.Value().ToUniversalTime(); }
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Sets a fixed (deterministic) time for the current thread to return by <see cref="SystemClock"/>.
    /// </summary>
    public static void Set(DateTime time)
    {
        if (time.Kind != DateTimeKind.Local)
            time = time.ToLocalTime();

        _getTime.Value = () => time;
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Resets <see cref="SystemClock"/> to return the current <see cref="DateTime.Now"/>.
    /// </summary>
    public static void Reset()
    {
        _getTime.Value = () => DateTime.Now;
    }
}

使用的例子:

[TestMethod]
public void Today()
{
    SystemClock.Set(new DateTime(2015, 4, 3));

    DateTime expectedDay = new DateTime(2015, 4, 2);
    DateTime yesterday = SystemClock.Today.AddDays(-1D);
    Assert.AreEqual(expectedDay, yesterday);

    SystemClock.Reset();
}
