If somebody wants to extend "test-tool date" for other formats, they also have to add a similar "show_date_XXX" hack for their format. How about doing it slightly differently? E.g. - Get rid of show_date_human(). - Keep get_time(), but have it pay attention to GIT_TEST_TIMESTAMP environment variable, and when it is set, use that as if it is the returned value from gettimeofday(). - If there are gettimeofday() calls in date.c this patch did not touch (because they were not part of the "human-format" codepath), adjust them to use get_time() instead. - Have "test-tool date" excersize show_date() directly. > +static void get_time(struct timeval *now) > +{ > + if(test_time != 0) > + /* > + * If show_date was called via the test > + * interface use the test_tool time > + */ > + *now = *test_time; > + else > + gettimeofday(now, NULL); > +} > + > void show_date_relative(timestamp_t time, int tz, > const struct timeval *now, > struct strbuf *timebuf) > @@ -228,7 +250,7 @@ static void show_date_normal(struct strbuf *buf, timestamp_t time, struct tm *tm > /* Show "today" times as just relative times */ > if (hide.wday) { > struct timeval now; > - gettimeofday(&now, NULL); > + get_time(&now); > show_date_relative(time, tz, &now, buf); > return; > } > @@ -284,7 +306,7 @@ const char *show_date(timestamp_t time, int tz, const struct date_mode *mode) > if (mode->type == DATE_HUMAN) { > struct timeval now; > > - gettimeofday(&now, NULL); > + get_time(&now); > > /* Fill in the data for "current time" in human_tz and human_tm */ > human_tz = local_time_tzoffset(now.tv_sec, &human_tm); > diff --git a/t/helper/test-date.c b/t/helper/test-date.c > index a0837371ab..22d42a2174 100644 > --- a/t/helper/test-date.c > +++ b/t/helper/test-date.c > @@ -3,6 +3,7 @@ > > static const char *usage_msg = "\n" > " test-tool date relative [time_t]...\n" > +" test-tool date human [time_t]...\n" > " test-tool date show:<format> [time_t]...\n" > " test-tool date parse [date]...\n" > " test-tool date approxidate [date]...\n" > @@ -22,6 +23,18 @@ static void show_relative_dates(const char **argv, struct timeval *now) > strbuf_release(&buf); > } > > +static void show_human_dates(const char **argv, struct timeval *now) > +{ > + struct strbuf buf = STRBUF_INIT; > + > + for (; *argv; argv++) { > + time_t t = atoi(*argv); > + show_date_human(t, 0, now, &buf); > + printf("%s -> %s\n", *argv, buf.buf); > + } > + strbuf_release(&buf); > +} > + > static void show_dates(const char **argv, const char *format) > { > struct date_mode mode; > @@ -100,6 +113,8 @@ int cmd__date(int argc, const char **argv) > usage(usage_msg); > if (!strcmp(*argv, "relative")) > show_relative_dates(argv+1, &now); > + else if (!strcmp(*argv, "human")) > + show_human_dates(argv+1, &now); > else if (skip_prefix(*argv, "show:", &x)) > show_dates(argv+1, x); > else if (!strcmp(*argv, "parse"))
