--blockTime not working

[e18r]

Expected Behavior

ganache-cli --blockTime 15 should wait 15 seconds before mining each block.

Current Behavior

ganache-cli --blockTime 15 behaves exactly like ganache-cli

Steps to Reproduce

1. clone my repository at https://github.com/emi-silva/lease.git and reset to commit 287b481de1df7b0ca5e8033990d434514b571754

2. run ganache-cli on port 8875 without the --blockTime option

3. truffle test test/delay.test.js --network dev

4. take a look at the output log. The state variable is updated immediately.

5. run ganache-cli on port 8875 with the --blockTime option set to 15 (or to 15000000 for that matter)

6. truffle test test/delay.test.js --network dev

7. The results are the same.

8. run ganache UI on port 8875, uncheck the automine option, set the block time to 15

9. truffle test test/delay.test.js --network dev

10. take a look at the output log. The state variable is not updated immediately.

11. run Rinkeby: geth --networkid 4 --rpcport 8555 --rpc

12. truffle test test/delay.test.js --network rinkeby

13. The state variable is again not updated immediately.

Context

This issue is not letting me reproduce an actual production scenario for my unit tests, which is a potential source of bugs in my contract. If it is not solved, I cannot continue using ganache-cli.

This is already fixed in ganache-core develop branch (trufflesuite/ganache#101), but they need to make a new release.

Same issue, waiting for new release!

Hey everyone! A release was snapped a couple weeks ago, you can now use v6.1.3

I'm going to go ahead and close this, but please open it up again if the issue persists (or open a new issue if it's slightly different).

Thanks!

Didn't work for me, resorted to ganache-ui which works flawlessly.

Tried -b --blockTime --blocktime

@SamGos what version of ganache-cli are your using (either ganache-cli --version or npm list -g ganache-cli)?

This works for me on 6.1.6

Ganache CLI v6.1.6 (ganache-core: 2.1.5)

Works fine on UI but as you can imagine it is memory resourceful with the client side interface;

Forgive me it seem's my observations were wrong, I was actually on the wrong port to truffle 😞
Using; ganache-cli --blockTime 5 --verbose true -p 9545
This helped to log the evn_mine method output to the console and made me aware it was actually functional, I've a suggestion to add the mine method to the console automatically.

Forgive my silliness and have a nice day 👍
