MockTicker (Netty API Reference (4.2.7.Final))

All Superinterfaces:

Ticker
```
public interface MockTicker
extends Ticker
```
A fake Ticker that allows the caller control the flow of time. This can be useful when you test time-sensitive logic without waiting for too long or introducing flakiness due to non-deterministic nature of system clock.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Default Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`void`	`advance(long amount, java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit unit)`	Advances the current `Ticker.nanoTime()` by the given amount of time.
`default void`	`advanceMillis(long amountMillis)`	Advances the current `Ticker.nanoTime()` by the given amount of time.
`default long`	`initialNanoTime()`	The initial value used for delay and computations based upon a monotonic time source.

    Parameters:
    
    amount - the amount of time to advance this ticker by.
    
    unit - the TimeUnit of amount.
  - advanceMillis
```
default void advanceMillis(long amountMillis)
```
