Methods
-------
The following methods are available on the ``web3.testing`` namespace.
.. py:method:: Testing.timeTravel(timestamp)
* Delegates to ``testing_timeTravel`` RPC Method
Advances the test blockchain one block setting the new block's timestamp to
the provided integer timestamp.
.. py:method:: Testing.mine(num_blocks=1)
* Delegates to ``evm_mine`` RPC Method
Mines ``num_blocks`` new blocks.
.. py:method:: Testing.snapshot()
* Delegates to ``evm_snapshot`` RPC Method
Takes a snapshot of the current EVM state and returns an integer that can
be used with the ``revert`` method to restore the EVM to this state.
.. py:method:: Testing.revert(snapshot_idx=None)
* Delegates to ``evm_revert`` RPC Method
If no ``snapshot_idx`` is provided this will revert the EVM to the most
recent snapshot. Otherwise reverts the EVM to the snapshot indicated by
the provided ``snapshot_idx``
.. py:method:: Testing.reset()
* Delegates to ``evm_reset`` RPC Method
