I am using a simple code for date picker for my Calabash-iOS automation. Whenever I set the today's or some past date to select, it is failed. I hope someone would have the idea about it. Here is my code and error messages:
Then(/^I set Reminder Date "(.?)" Time "(.?)"$/) do |date10, time10|
target_time = Time.parse(time10)
target_date = Date.parse(date10)
current_time = date_time_from_picker()
current_date = date_time_from_picker()
date_time = DateTime.new(target_date.year,
target_date.mon,
target_date.day,
target_time.hour,
target_time.min,
0,
target_time.gmt_offset)
picker_set_date_time date_time
sleep(3)
end
Then I set Reminder Date "05/08/2014" Time "5:24"
If the set date is todays date or a past date, this fails and if it is some future date, it passes. If some friends knows its solution, please suggest.
Check the minimum date of your UIDatePicker.

You mention that 'it fails'. Can you describe how it fails?
If the minimum date turns out to be the problem and a Runtime error is not raised, please file a bug.
(RuntimeError) — if the target date is less than the picker's minimum date

My date = 1st January, 2015.
I did
date_formatted = date.strftime('%Y%W') which returned "201500"
Then when am trying to do Date.strptime(date_formatted, '%Y%W') it's throwing an invalid date error even though the original string was returned from strptime's counterpart srftime.
Found the solution. Time.strptime(date_formatted, '%Y%W') is what will work here.
I'm attempting to convert a string date into a date that can be stored in the database. These are my attempts:
params[:event][:start_date] = '03-21-2016'
DateTime.strptime(params[:event][:start_date], '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z')
or
DateTime.strptime(params[:event][:start_date], '%m-%d-%Y')
However I keep getting an invalid date error. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
One way to do it would be this:
date_string = '03-21-2016'
month, day, year = date_string.split('-').map(&:to_i)
DateTime.new(year, month, day)
You need to understand what each fragment (eg %Y) in the format string ('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z') means: read this.
http://apidock.com/rails/ActiveSupport/TimeWithZone/strftime
Once you know this, you can tailor a format string to the date string you have, or expect to get: in this case, "%m-%d-%Y".
When debugging create a new, basic and simple, version of the code and test that.
require 'date'
params = '03-21-2016'
DateTime.strptime(params, '%m-%d-%Y') # => #<DateTime: 2016-03-21T00:00:00+00:00 ((2457469j,0s,0n),+0s,2299161j)>
Note the order for the format: '%m-%d-%Y', which works. That's the problem with your first attempt, where you tried to use%Y-%m-%d. There is NO month21or day2016`.
Your second attempt is valid but your question makes it appear it doesn't work. You need to be more careful with your testing:
params = {event:{start_date:'03-21-2016'}}
DateTime.strptime(params[:event][:start_date], '%m-%d-%Y') # => #<DateTime: 2016-03-21T00:00:00+00:00 ((2457469j,0s,0n),+0s,2299161j)>
iam saving current date and time in database as checkin time in db. by using Time.now. and when i query the database like this iam always getting the time in "am" only even for time in "pm" also.
#curr_emp_attendace = current_employee.punch_in_outs.where("YEAR(check_in) = ? and MONTH(check_in) = ?",Time.now.strftime("%Y") ,Time.now.strftime("%m") )
and in view iam displaying like this
<%= attendace.check_in.strftime("%a %d, %H:%M %P") when i display like this iam always getting the "am" only for the time (for times in "pm") also. what might be the reason iam not understanding.
Try this:
#curr_emp_attendace = current_employee.punch_in_outs.where(:check_in => Time.now)
I need to update time info in a DateTime.
I get a string in the format "14" or "14:30" (for example), so I need to give it to Time parser to get the right hour. Then I need to update self.start_at which is a datetime which already has a time, but I need to update it.
self.start_at_hours = Time.parse(self.start_at_hours) # example 14:30:00
# NEED TO UPDATE self.start_at which is a datetime
I was using the change method on self.start_at but it only takes hour and minutes separated and I'm not sure what should I do.
Have you thought about doing somethings like this?
time_to_merge = Time.new
date_to_merge = Date.today
merged_datetime = DateTime.new(date_to_merge.year, date_to_merge.month,
date_to_merge.day, time_to_merge.hour,
time_to_merge.min, time_to_merge.sec)
For replacing time, the .change() method should work, like this:
my_datetime = my_datetime.change(hour: my_time.hour, min: my_time.min, sec: my_time.sec)
For adding time, try converting to seconds and then adding them:
my_datetime += my_time.seconds_since_midnight.seconds
I have a database table TableA, which has a column 'theDate' for which the datatype in the database is DATE.
When I save a java.util.Date to 'theDate' through GORM it appears to save just the date value when I look at the data in the table by just executing select * from TableA.
However, when I run a query such as:
select * from TableA where theDate = :myDate
No results are found, but if I run something like;
select * from TableA where theDate <= :myDate
I do get results.
So it's like the Time is relevant.
My question is how do I save a Date and query for a Date ignoring the Time completely and just matching on an exact Date only?
Thanks.
note: I have also tried using sql.Date and util.Calendar but to no success.
clearTime()
You can use clearTime() before saving and before comparing to zero out the time fields:
// zero the time when saving
new MyDomain(theDate: new Date().clearTime()).save()
// zero the target time before comparing
def now = new Date().clearTime()
MyDomain.findAll('SELECT * FROM MyDomain WHERE theDate = :myDate', [myDate: now])
joda-time plugin
An alternative would be to install the joda-time plugin and use the LocalDate type (which only holds date information, no times) instead of Date. For what it's worth, I don't think I've worked on a project with dates without using the Joda plugin. It's completely worth it.
If you have date saved without clearing you could retrieve it using range, as Jordan H. wrote but in more simple way.
def getResults(Date date) {
def from = date.clearTime()
def to = from + 1
def results = MyDomain.findAll("from MyDomain where dateCreated between :start and :stop" ,[start:from,stop:to])
}
Your question may be a duplicate. See Convert datetime in to date. But if anyone has more recent information, that would be great.
If that doesn't help, you can hack it the way I might, with a BETWEEN restriction, e.g.
def today = new Date()
def ymdFmt = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd")
def dateYmd = ymdFmt.format(today)
def dateTimeFormat = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss");
def startDate = dateTimeFormat.parse("${dateYmd} 00:00:00");
def endDate = dateTimeFormat.parse("${dateYmd} 23:59:59");
MyDomain.findAll("from MyDomain where dateCreated between ? and ?", [startDate, endDate])
It's definitely not pretty, but it may get you where you're going.
I figured it out.
I used DateGroovyMethods.clearTime to clear the time value before saving.
You can use the DB type date not datetime , in the filed type
