shouldBeBefore

Asserts that this is before date

Verifies that this is before date, comparing every field in the OffsetDateTime. For example, 09/02/1998 00:00:00 -03:00 is before 09/02/1998 00:00:01 -03:00, and this assertion should pass for this comparison.

Opposite of OffsetDateTime.shouldNotBeBefore

    val firstDate = OffsetDateTime.of(1998, 2, 9, 0, 0, 0, 0, ZoneOffset.ofHours(-3))
    val secondDate = OffsetDateTime.of(1998, 2, 9, 0, 0, 1, 0, ZoneOffset.ofHours(-3))

    firstDate shouldBeBefore secondDate    // Assertion passes


    val firstDate = OffsetDateTime.of(1998, 2, 9, 0, 0, 1, 0, ZoneOffset.ofHours(-3))
    val secondDate = OffsetDateTime.of(1998, 2, 9, 0, 0, 0, 0, ZoneOffset.ofHours(-3))

    firstDate shouldBeBefore secondDate     // Assertion fails, firstDate is one second after secondDate
