Dynamic Date population in the Set Field Values in the Automated Test Framework (ATF)

ramd · ‎06-04-2018

Hi There,

We are currently building some reusable test cases using ATF (Automated Test Framework) Application. We have several test scenarios related to change management where the "Planned Start Date" and "End Date" should be dynamically populated to future date, typically the date and time should be anything between 3rd Sunday 09:00 pm PST - 12:00 AM PST.

Is there any javascript available to meet this requirement? I want to populate the 3rd Sunday 09:00 pm PST, in the highlighted area as shown in the attached screenshot.

Please help.

Thanks,

RD

Here's one way.

var myDatePicker = Class.create();
myDatePicker.prototype = {
    initialize: function() {
    },

	// Pass in year and month as numbers
	3rdSunday : function(year, month) {
		var first = 15; // the soonest that the 3rd Sunday can be
		var last = 21; // the latest that the 3rd Sunday can be
		
		var gdt = new GlideDateTime();
		gdt.setYearLocalTime(year);
		gdt.setMonthLocalTime(month);

		for (var day = first; day < last; day++) { 
			gdt.setDayOfMonthLocalTime(day);
			if (gdt.getDayOfWeekLocalTime() == 7) {
				return day;
			}
		}
		
		return;
	},

    type: 'myDatePicker'
};

Usage is:

var dom = new myDatePicker().thirdSunday(2018, 6);
// dom = 17, the date of the third Sunday in June 2018

If you want it to return the entire date (ex. 2018-06-17), simply change the return value in the function to

return gdt.getDate();

HI Mark,

Did you get this solved as I am hitting a similar issue on the ATF catalog item tests.

Thanks

Use the below code instead

javascript:gs.daysAgo(-3)

Is there any way to input javascript date value for custom UI? All above options may work for normal ui, but not for custom ui
