I have this problem. I need to do the following:
get todays date
make a new date which will be today's date at 00:00:00
make another date which will be today's date at 23:59:59
For example. Today Date is 12-January-2012 19:00
How can i make a new date, which will be 12-January-2012 00:00 (the start of the current day)
It may seems easy, but i couldnt find any groovyway to get it, any help would be apreciated.
To get the date at midnight use Date.clearTime (docs):
dateAtMidnight = new Date()
dateAtMidnight.clearTime()
(Javadocs are for Groovy JDK < 2.0, clearTime() is declared void in Groovy JDK 2.0, preventing d = new Date().clearTime(). Comments indicate the original functionality may be restored, yay!)
For the comparison, instead of using <= 23:59:59, use < (the next day):
(aDate >= dateAtMidnight) && (aDate < (dateAtMidnight + 1))
An alternative way, but it sets the datetime (but it doesn't get the date merely)
dateAtMidnight = new Date()
dateAtMidnight.set(hourOfDay: 0, minute: 0, second: 0)

I have a command where I can enter a specific date for start date, please see below a part of the command I am using.
and when I am calling it in the test I need to enter a dynamic date like today <=(+30 days)
cy.create123((new Date().getDate() - 1), '2023-08-07')
ofc it did not work, but I have no idea how can I do it. How I can setup to cy.command to get always today-1 as startDate!
My issue is to make the dynamic enter date to work on Cypress.Commands()
TLDR
Install dayjs and use
const startDate = dayjs().add(-1, 'day').format('YYYY-MM-DD')
cy.create123(startDate, '2023-08-07')
The Custom Command and the cy.request() inside it are expecting the date as a string type.
Your calculated dynamic date (new Date().getDate() - 1) is giving you a number type.
But .toISOString() only works on Date types, not number types.
So after doing math on the Date(), you get a number which must be converted into a Date and then into a string.
const today = new Date()
const yesterday = new Date(today.setDate(today.getDate() -1))
const startDate = yesterday.toISOString()
But even that's not the end of the problems, because the timezone might give you invalid dates.
I recommend using dayjs as shown above.
You can do something like this. Instead of subtracting 1, I am decreasing the day with 24 hours.
cy.create123(new Date(Date.now() - (3600 * 1000 * 24)).getUTCDate(), '2023-08-07')
Considering today is 29 Aug, this will give the output as 28.
To get the date in the format yyyy-mm-dd use:
new Date(Date.now() - ( 3600 * 1000 * 24)).toISOString().slice(0, 10)
I have a spreadsheet that asks people to enter in a day of the month when we need to send out a bill. What I want to do is create a calendar event based on that. So, essentially what I need is an event that starts at the current month, day from the spreadsheet, and continues to a specified point in time.
var monthlyDate = row[6]; // Seventh column, monthly date of payment
var curDate = new Date();
var curMonth = curDate.getMonth();
var curYear = curDate.getYear();
curDate.setDate(curMonth, monthlyDate, curYear);
Logger.log("Day of month: %s", monthlyDate);
Logger.log("Current Date: %s", curDate);
Logger.log("Current Date: %s", Date());
What I'm seeing is that the monthly date is coming in as a float "6.0" for example, and no matter what I enter in for monthlyDate in the setDate line, it keeps setting the date to 10/9/15 (Today is 10/15/15). I've hard-coded that value to many different numbers, but for some reason it's just not working.
How can I create a date (in any format) that follows the scheme "Current Month / Day from Speadsheet / Current Year" ?
The getMonth() method returns a "zero-indexed" number. So, it returns the number 9 for the 10th month. setDate() doesn't set the date, it sets the "Day of the Month". The name of that method is misleading.
Documentation - setDate()
So, the last two parameters that you are using in setDate() are doing nothing. You are setting the day of the month to 9.
If you want to set multiple date parameters at the same time, you need to use the new Date() method:
var d = new Date(year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds);
The month parameter accept values from 0 to 11, 0 is Jan and 11 is Dec
Date Reference
I need to make my Access query always return the Monday of the current week. I have seen a few solutions on Google/StackOverflow but they are written in SQL and I am a beginner in creating Access queries (I am using the Design view to make them).
Goal: The week should be considered as M T W T F S S. Then, the query should always return the Monday of the current week. Therefore, if it is Sunday, it should still return the Monday before, NOT the next week's Monday. Can anyone explain how to do this using the Design View in Access 2010?
Keep in mind that in this context we are working with dates, so if we do Date() - 1, we will get 1 day prior to today.
Date() ~ Today's date
DatePart(
"w" - Weekday
Date() - Today's date
2 - vBMonday (Access assumes Sunday is the first day of the week, which is why this is necessary.)
1 - vbFirstJan1 - This gets into using the first week of the year. We could have omitted this, as 1 is the default.
)
-1 - Subtract 1 from the DatePart value.
Values
Date() = 4/27/2015 (at time of this writing)
DatePart("w",Date(),2,1) = 1
DatePart("w",Date(),2,1)-1 = 0
So we have Date()-0... Okay, what's so great about that? Well, let's look at a more useful scenario where today's date is a day other than Monday.
Let's act like today is 4/28/2015 (Tuesday)
Date() = 4/28/2015
DatePart("w",Date(),2,1) = 2
DatePart("w",Date(),2,1)-1 = 1
So, from the outside, in; give me the current weekday value. (1 = Monday, 2 = Tuesday, etc.), and subtract 1 from that -> that's how many days we need to subtract from the current date to get back to the weekday value of 1 (Monday).
Here's a function that will do this:
Public Function DatePrevWeekday( _
ByVal datDate As Date, _
Optional ByVal bytWeekday As VbDayOfWeek = vbMonday) _
As Date
' Returns the date of the previous weekday, as spelled in vbXxxxday, prior to datDate.
' 2000-09-06. Cactus Data ApS.
' No special error handling.
On Error Resume Next
DatePrevWeekday = DateAdd("d", 1 - Weekday(datDate, bytWeekday), datDate)
End Function
As vbMonday is 2 and your date is today, you can use the core expression in a query:
PreviousMonday: DateAdd("d",1-Weekday(Date(),2),Date())
I wonder if there is other way how to create new Date in Groovy at specific date and time than parse it from String with Date.parse method. Can I get complete list of Date creation in Groovy?
You can use the existing Java methods to create a date:
// takes the date encoded as milliseconds since midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC
def mydate = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis())
// create from an existing Calendar object
def mydate = new GregorianCalendar(2014, Calendar.APRIL, 3, 1, 23, 45).time
Groovy also provides some streamlined extensions for creating Dates. Date.parse() and Date.parseToStringDate() parse it from a String. The Date.copyWith() method builds a date from a map. You can use them like this:
// uses the format strings from Java's SimpleDateFormat
def mydate = Date.parse("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss", "2014-04-03 1:23:45")
// uses a format equivalent to EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy
def mydate = Date.parseToStringDate("Thu Apr 03 01:23:45 UTC 2014")
def mydate = new Date().copyWith(
year: 2014,
month: Calendar.APRIL,
dayOfMonth: 3,
hourOfDay: 1,
minute: 23,
second: 45)
The other answers are outdated as of Java 8 and later. The old legacy date-time classes such as java.util.Date/.Calendar/.GregorianCalendar have proven to be poorly designed, confusing, and troublesome.
java.time
The java.time framework supplants those old classes.
Groovy can use these classes of course. I do not know the Groovy syntax, but it should be easy to adapt this simple Java example.
LocalDate/LocalTime
The LocalDate and LocalTime classes have no concept of time zone. So they do not represent actual moments on the timeline.
LocalDate localDate = LocalDate( 2016 , Month.JANUARY , 2 ); // year, month, date.
LocalTime localTime = LocalTime( 12 , 30 , 0 , 0 ); // hour, minute, second, nanosecond.
ZonedDateTime
Apply a time zone (ZoneId) to get a ZonedDateTime. Use a proper time zone name, never the 3-4 zone abbreviations commonly seen.
ZoneId zoneId = ZoneId.of( "America/Montreal" );
ZonedDateTime zdt = ZonedDateTime.of( localDate , localTime , zoneId );
Instant
You should avoid the old date-time classes. But if required, you can convert. An Instant is the java.time class to represent a moment on the timeline in UTC with a resolution of nanoseconds. Look for new methods on the old java.util.Date class for converting to/from an Instant. We can extract the needed Instant object from our ZonedDateTime.
Nanosecond vs Millisecond
Note that converting from java.time involves data loss! The java.time classes support nanosecond resolution (up to 9 digits of decimal place on fractional second) while the old java.util.Date supports only milliseconds (up to 3 decimal places). Any 4th to 9th digit of fractional second is truncated. For example, 2016-04-28T02:05:05.123456789 is truncated to 2016-04-28T02:05:05.123.
Instant instant = zdt.toInstant();
java.util.Date utilDate = java.util.Date.from( instant );
Going the other direction, from java.util.Date to Instant. The 4th to 9th decimal place of fractional second will be zeros, the 1st-3rd for any milliseconds.
Instant instant = utilDate.toInstant();
Groovy is good.
new Date(2016-1900, 7, 16, 20, 32, 25)
Tue Aug 16 20:32:25 PDT 2016
Note that the year must be massaged, but you can create a new Java Date representing any second you want.
You can see more Groovy Goodness at http://mrhaki.blogspot.com/2009/08/groovy-goodness-working-with-dates.html
As far as I know there's no other way. You can also pass exact time in millis to constructor of Date class but first You need to get the time in millis.
Maybe this link will be helpful.
Or this code snippet:
def calendar = new GregorianCalendar(2011,1,7,15,7,23)
def date = calendar.getTime()
println date
You can get current date using Date() and format it the way you want using:
/*
y: year
m: month
d: day
h: hour
m: minute
*/
Date().format('yyyy-MM-dd hh-mm')
Date().format('yy/mm/dd hh')
The return type is a string.
LocalDateTime.now().format('yyyy-MM-dd hh-mm')
How can I adjust a date in coldfusion to get the next day at 1AM?
the date is taken from a database, and stored as a string. I'm thinking the way to do it is through CreateDateTime and filling it with the time and date using year,month,day + 1 etc.
I'm just worried that it won't work when the next day falls on the next month
Using DateAdd() you can always be sure that it will take the context of the current date into account. So if it is August 31 and you add one day it will correctly make the date Sept 1st. It will also properly switch the year if you did the same on Dec 31st.
<cfset nextDate = dateAdd("d", 1, now()) />
<cfset nextDateWithTime = createDateTime(year(nextDate), month(nextDate), day(nextDate), 1, 0, 0) />
<cfoutput>#nextDateWithTime#</cfoutput>
Assuming the date is something which CF recognizes as a date, and contains date only, without time, you could do something like:
<cfscript>
function tomorrowOneAM(date) {
var resultValue = DateAdd("d",1,date);
resultValue = DateAdd("h",1,resultValue);
return resultValue;
}
</cfscript>
