    nmrao  thanks for your response.

    I did it this way:

     

    //------------Concepts - Validity - Dates
def convertDate(date) {
  SimpleDateFormat formatFromApi = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd")
  Date parsedDate = formatFromApi.parse(date)

  SimpleDateFormat formatToGolden = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy")
  String goldenDate = formatToGolden.format(parsedDate)
  return goldenDate
}

    Kind regards,

Before comparing the dates, parse the string using respective format and convert it to Date object.

For eg:

def date = new Date().parse(format, stringDate)
