Add access to original Date object

[chrisworfolksky]

I am using sinon.useFakeTimers to mock the date for some unit tests. This is working fine. However, I've also got some debugging logs and I want to add a timestamp to each line. However, as I am using the clock, I get the mocked date in my timestamps, rather than the actual date.

I don't want to call the uninstall method because I still want it installed for the rest of the test.

One potential solution would be if we could call the original Date object manually, something like:

clock.getOriginalDate()

Thanks for opening an issue!

You can always get non mocked instances by creating a new realm and "stealing" date from there or getting a reference to Date before clock.install

var originalDate = Date;
clock.install();

new originalDate(); // correct
