GlideDateTime method addSeconds() seems not to be working

dp11 · ‎08-07-2018

Hi,

I am trying to use the addSeconds() method in the following way:

var x = new GlideDateTime(current.due_date);
gs.log("x: " + x.getValue());

var y = new GlideDateTime(x);

gs.log("y: " + y.getValue());

var z = y.addSeconds(3600);

gs.log("z: " + z.getValue());

The values for x and y prints out fine. The value for z prints as 'undefined'. Please let me know if there is something wrong in it.

Thanks!

Hi Dp,

Try this and check below. the method addSeconds doesn't return anything so it is giving undefined

var x = new GlideDateTime(current.due_date);
gs.log("x: " + x.getValue());

var y = new GlideDateTime(x);

gs.log("y: " + y.getValue());

y.addSeconds(3600);

gs.log("z: " + y.getValue());

Mark Correct if this solves your issue and also mark Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
Thanks

Why not just this

var x = new GlideDateTime(current.due_date);
gs.log("x: " + x.getValue());

x.addSeconds(3600);

gs.log("x: " + x.getValue());

Please mark this response as correct or helpful if it assisted you with your question.

Thanks Sanjiv! I overlooked the fact that addSeconds() did not return any value.
