Date format - Need to get the current date from 10 date before date

Hi All,

 

Need to pass the request parameter value is current date from 10/20/30 days before

 

[
"25/08/2017"]

 

when ever execute the API need to pass the current date from 10/20/30 days before date

 

Tried:

 

def today = new Date().format("MM/dd/yyyy")
log.info today
def tendaysbefore = today -10
log.info tendaysbefore

 

response :

 

Mon Sep 04 19:43:35 IST 2017:INFO:09/04/2017
Mon Sep 04 19:43:35 IST 2017:INFO:09/04/2017

 

But I need 10 days before from the current date.

 

 

looking for your valuable response and update 

 

 

  •  You are subtracting too late. You need to subtract before you convert / format to a string. Try this:

     

    def today = new Date()
    def tenDaysAgo = today - 10
    log.info today.format("MM/dd/yyyy")
    log.info tenDaysAgo.format("MM/dd/yyyy")
