I am using protractor 5.2.2. We have a requirement of creating a module with unique date so that i cannot create a module with already used date.So when i am running the script , i have to pass different date each time.How we can choose random date in automation.Thanks in advance.
I recommend using chancejs.
var Chance = require('chance'),
chance = new Chance();
console.log(chance.integer({ min: -2, max: 2 }));
would return either -2, -1, 0, 1, or 2.
Please take a look at the chancejs homepage http://chancejs.com/
Below example gives a data between these two years
var Chance = require('chance');
var chance = new Chance();
let bounds = {
min: chance.date({ year: 1983 }),
max: chance.date({ year: 1989 })
}
let date = chance.date(bounds)
console.log(date);
I got 1987-01-21T19:31:32.851Z
1.Random dates in JAVA
Generate random date of birth
if you are using the Excel as data provider
Use the Excel formula's like
=today();
=now();
if you are using java or other languages
use
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyyHH:mm:ss");
Date date = new Date();
C#

MomentJS is a good option that allows you to set time easily off the current time.
Examples:
moment.format('MM/DD/YYYY'); //gives you current date in mm/dd/yyyy format
moment.format('MM-DD-YYYY'); //current date in mm-dd-yyyy format
moment.add('5','days').format('MM/DD/YYYY'); gives you date 5 days from now

I use amchart, I want to create a real time chart, and set minDate, maxDate for x axis, and format it to hh:mm. I tried use minimumDate, maximumDate, "minPeriod" : "hh", but it fail.
My code:
demo1.
I want to use amchart to build a real time chart like: demo2 (use flot chart).
The labels xaxis is static not run, and to accumulate data.
Help me, please!
Thank you!
When updating the time, you need to set a new date instance or a separate value. Updating the startDate variable updates all the data points that share that date object as AmCharts doesn't clone the date objects in your dataProvider. A quick fix is to use the millisecond timestamp result from the setMinutes call, for example:
var newDate = startDate.setMinutes(startDate.getMinutes() + 10);
var visits = randomIntFromInterval(50, 100);
chartData.push({
date: newDate,
visits: visits
});
AmCharts will internally convert the millisecond values to a new Date object. This should be applied to your generate and update methods.
minPeriod should be set to the minimum period between your datapoints. As you're adding data in 10 minute increments, this should be "mm", not "hh".
By default, the categoryAxis does not support setting a minimumDate and maximumDate, however, you can use AmCharts' datePadding plugin to add this functionality. This plugin will allow you to set a minimumDate and maximumDate property in your categoryAxis when you add the following script tag after your AmCharts includes:
<script src="//www.amcharts.com/lib/3/plugins/tools/datePadding/datePadding.min.js"></script>
In order to maintain your date range after updating the chart, you have to call the plugin's AmCharts.datePaddingProcess method to re-update the range before redrawing the chart.
Here's what your updateChart method will look like after using the datePadding plugin:
function updateChart() {
var newDate = startDate.setMinutes(startDate.getMinutes() + 10);
var visits = randomIntFromInterval(50, 100);
chart.dataProvider.push({
date:newDate,
visits:visits
});
AmCharts.datePaddingProcess(chart, true);
chart.validateData();
}
And here's what your categoryAxis will look like:
"categoryAxis": {
"parseDates": true,
"gridAlpha": 0.15,
"axisColor": "#DADADA",
"minPeriod" : "mm",
"minimumDate": min,
"maximumDate": max
},

I need a javascript function which should take two arguments they are date and time (i.e 9 ,10 ,18,19 etc) and it should return eppoch time for that exact date and time?
please help me?
Try something like this..
var myDate = new Date("July 1, 1978 02:30:00");
var myEpoch = myDate.getTime()/1000.0;
document.write(myEpoch);
I'm having trouble finding a good way of formatting a UTC-time stamp with this format: yyyyMMdd-HH:mm:ss.<three additional digits>
I wasn't able to find any character that represents milliseconds/hundredths, I'm not even sure this is possible, to parse that format that is.
Ideally I'd like to use the parseToStringDate that's part of the Date library.
My plan b is to convert yyyyMMdd-HH:mm:ss to milliseconds and then add the three last digits to that number.
Use yyyyMMdd-HH:mm:ss.SSS
This will get you milliseconds as well.
Test Code:
def now = new Date()
println now.format("yyyyMMdd-HH:mm:ss.SSS", TimeZone.getTimeZone('UTC'))
I would convert it like that:
def now = new Date()
println now.format("YYYYMMdd-HH:mm:ss")
You can try this:
TimeZone.getTimeZone('UTC')
Date date = new Date()
String newdate = date.format("YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.Ms")
log.info newdate
I'm trying to suit well this plugin pickadate.js v3.3.1 but I'm facing some difficulties.
First, I need to restrict selection of only future dates, 3 months from today's date. The docs didn't help me much so tried to do it this way. But it's not working.
Second, can I change this to a MONTH PICKER only? I need this for a Credit Card Expiry date field input.
The documentation isn't very great, But I guess being a new plugin I can use some good help of geeks here.
<script>
var today = new Date();
var dd = today.getDate();
var mm = today.getMonth()+3;
$('#pickdate').pickadate({
// Escape any “rule” characters with an exclamation mark (!).
format: 'mmm dd , yyyy',
formatSubmit: 'yyyy/mm/dd',
hiddenPrefix: 'prefix__',
hiddenSuffix: '__suffix',
min: new Date(),
max: mm
//min: new Date(),
//max: (new Date() + 10)
})
$('#picktime').pickatime();
</script>
From the docs:
If dateMax or dateMin is an integer, it represents the relative number
of days till the min or max date.
I couldn't find any mentioning in the docs of a month picker. Why not use a standard dropdown ()?
What could prove to be of use to you with regards to range, again from the docs, is:
dateMin and dateMax can be either
an array representing a date ([ yyyy, mm, dd ])
I am using ColdFusion 9.0.1 and some database that I cannot change.
I am accessing a database that stores a date as an eight digit numeric with zero decimal places like this:
YYYYMMDD
I need to be able to read the date, add and subtract days from a date, and create new dates. I am looking for a ColdFusion solution to efficiently (not much code) to convert the date to our standard format, which is
MM/DD/YYYY
And then convert it back into the database's format for saving.
I need to code this in such a way that non-ColdFusion programmers can easily read this and use it, copy and modify it for other functions (such as adding a day to a date). So, I am not looking for the most least amount of code, but efficient and readable code.
Can you suggest anything that would make this code block more flexible, readable, or more efficient (less code)?
<cfscript>
// FORMAT DB DATE FOR BROWSER
DateFromDB = "20111116";
DatedToBrowser = createBrowserDate(DateFromDB);
writeOutput(DatedToBrowser);
function createBrowserDate(ThisDate) {
ThisYear = left(ThisDate, 4);
ThisMonth = mid(ThisDate, 4, 2);
ThisDay = right(ThisDate, 2);
NewDate = createDate(ThisYear, ThisMonth, ThisDay);
NewDate = dateFormat(NewDate, "MM/DD/YYYY");
return NewDate;
}
// FORMAT BROWSER DATE FOR DB
DateFromBrowser = "11/16/2011";
DateToDB = createDBDate(DateFromBrowser);
writeDump(DateToDB);
function createDBDate(ThisDate) {
ThisYear = year(ThisDate);
ThisMonth = month(ThisDate);
ThisDay = day(ThisDate);
NewDate = "#ThisYear##ThisMonth##ThisDay#";
return NewDate;
}
</cfscript>
First find who ever did the database and kick them in the nads...
Personally I'd Convert with sql so my code only dealt with date objects.
Select Convert(DateTime, Convert(VarChar(8),DateTimeInventedByIdjitColumn))
From SomeTable
As stated by our peers, store dates as dates.
'08/06/2011' could be 8th of june of the 6th of August depending on locale.
20111643 is a valid integer..
Not using a proper date type is just a massive collection of features and bugs that at best are waiting to happen.
You can actually rewrite each function into 1 line of code.
function createBrowserDate(ThisDate) {
return mid(ThisDate,4,2) & "/" & right(ThisDate,2) & "/" & left(ThisDate,4);
}
and
function createDBDate(ThisDate) {
return dateFormat( ThisDate, "YYYYMMDD" );
}
Don't keep dates as strings - keep dates as dates and format them when you need to.
If you can't correct the database to use actual date columns (which you should if you can), then you can use these two functions to convert to/from YYYYMMDD and a date object:
function parseYMD( YYYYMMDD )
{
if ( ! refind('^\d{8}$' , Arguments.YYYYMMDD ) )
throw "Invalid Format. Expected YYYYMMDD";
return parseDateTime
( Arguments.YYYYMMDD.replaceAll('(?<=^\d{4})|(?=\d{2}$)','-') );
}
function formatYMD( DateObj )
{
return DateFormat( DateObj , 'yyyymmdd' );
}
By using date objects it means that any level of developer can work with them, without needing to care about formatting, via built-in functions like DateAdd, DateCompare, and so on.
I'm not a regular expression fan since it's not that readable to me.
Since you're using CF9, I'd typed the argument and specify the returntype of the functions to be even more readable for the next person picking up your code.
First, right after I read the date from DB, I'd parse it to a Date object using parseDBDate()
Date function parseDBDate(required String dbDate)
{
var yyyy = left(dbDate, 4);
var mm = mid(dbDate, 4, 2);
var dd = right(dbDate, 2);
return createDate(yyyy , mm, dd);
}
Once you have the date object, you can use all those built-in Date functoin like DateAdd() or DateDiff().
Call browserDateFormat() right before you need to display it.
String function browserDateFormat(required Date date)
{
return dateFormat(date, "MM/DD/YYYY");
}
Call dBDateFormat() inside <cfqueryparam value=""> when it's time to persist to DB
String function dBDateFormat(required Date date)
{
return dateFormat(date, "YYYYMMDD");
}
One liner :)
myDateString = "20110203";
myCfDate = createObject("java","java.text.SimpleDateFormat").init("yyyyMMdd").parse(myDateString,createObject("java","java.text.ParsePosition").init(0*0));
If you want to parse different patterns, change "yyyyMMdd" to any other supported pattern.
http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html
The ParsePosition is used to say where to start parsing the string.
0*0 is shorthand for JavaCast("int",0) - in the Adobe cf engine, 0 is a string, until you apply math to it, then it becomes a Double, which the ParsePosition constructor supports. Technically, it constructs with an int, but cf is smart enough to downgrade a Double to an int.
