new Date("2018-06-19") throws invalid date error

[HV1]

Silly question, but does anyone know why following is not working on Jakarta Patch6, or is it just me 😞

var date3 = new Date("2018-06-19");
gs.print(date3.toString());

Throws Invalid Date error

Try replacing - with / in dates.

Thanks,

I am reading the date from a variable as this.  Ideally it should be supported, just not sure why it's not.

if you just run below script you can see you get the output like : *** Script: Fri Apr 20 2018 11:27:33 GMT-0700 (PDT)

var date3 = new Date();
gs.print(date3);

so to get the value of the date for example date, month and year, you may need to call below functions to get the values.

getUTCDate() Same as getDate(), but returns the UTC date
getUTCDay() Same as getDay(), but returns the UTC day
getUTCFullYear() Same as getFullYear(), but returns the UTC year
getUTCHours() Same as getHours(), but returns the UTC hour
getUTCMilliseconds() Same as getMilliseconds(), but returns the UTC milliseconds
getUTCMinutes() Same as getMinutes(), but returns the UTC minutes
getUTCMonth() Same as getMonth(), but returns the UTC month
getUTCSeconds() Same as getSeconds(), but returns the UTC seconds

Try something like below;

var gDate = new GlideDate();
gDate.setValue('2018-06-19');
gs.print(gDate);
