What this PR does
This PR addresses the recent CI build failure and improves upon the previous fix, which was inefficient.
Issue with the Previous Fix:
The
travel_to
helper method was only applied when creating the course, meaning that subsequent interactions in the test used the current system time instead of the intended past time. This caused failures when the test logic compared dates, as the current time was beyond the course end date.The previous fix also relied on
Date.new
, which does not account for time zones, making it ineffective for this scenario.Improvements in This Fix:
travel_to
into the before block to ensure that all test interactions occur within the correct time frame.travel_back
method .This fix travels to a time between the start and end date to ensures that all test blocks operate within the intended date context, leading to more reliable and consistent test execution.
A detail explanation of how these helpers work is found here
@gabina , your assumption about how travel_to was used previously is correct. Thank you for your input
