Moved ticker initialization outside the garbage collection goroutine. There was a race condition between advancing the mocked time in
TestProvidersBackend_GarbageCollection
and the initialization of the ticker that triggers the garbage collection runs. It happened that we were advancing the time without the ticker being initialized. Hence, advancing the time hasn't had any effect.In this PR, I moved the ticker initialization outside the garbage collection goroutine. This means the ticker will be registered with the MockClock object after
StartGarbageCollection
returns. Calls tomockClock.Add
will therefore trigger the ticker.
