Alias for resume

current_offset()

The group‘s current time.

delay(seconds)

Delay all timers.

Call the given block periodically at the given interval. The first argument will be the time at which the group was asked to fire timers for.

fire(offset = current_offset)

Fire all timers that are ready.

now_and_after(interval) {|| ...}

Call the given block immediately, and then after the given interval. The first argument will be the time at which the group was asked to fire timers for.

now_and_every(interval, recur = true) {|| ...}
