External Fake MyCustomDateTimeBuilder implementation

[kermorgant]

Hello,

First, thanks for this book, still in the first half but a great read so far 👍

I've taken inspiration of the external fake MyCustomDateTimeBuilder for my tests, but I failed to understand how it can work with static methods, when calling "setReturnDates" (I used a singleton to have a shared instance).

Thanks a lot for your words. I'm not sure I follow your question? Singletons are complicated with tests as they break isolation. Static methods break OO, when you don't have an instance, you cannot replace it easily with a Test Double for your tests… Unless you inject the DateTime somewhere, you'll find quite hard to make your tests follow specific flows in the System Under Test.
