How do i write my spec without using the sleep(1.second) method? When I remove the sleep then my tests break because they are returning the same time stamp?
I have the following class method:
def skip
qs = find_or_create_by(user_id: user_id)
qs.set_updated_at
qs.n_skip += 1
qs.save!
end
and following spec:
    qs = skip(user.id)
    sleep(1.second)
    qs2 = skip(user.id)
    qs.should_not be_nil
    qs2.should_not be_nil
    (qs.updated_at < qs2.updated_at).should be_true
