DateTime

Can ABS get the system time so I can create a date time string, e.g. - 20100806_132545 ?

    Hi Chris,


    In TestComplete, you can try using the aqConvert.DateTimeToFormatStr method to do this, as in the following example:


    function Test()

    {

      Log.Message(aqConvert.DateTimeToFormatStr(aqDateTime.Now(), "%Y%m%d_%H%M%S"));

    }


    If your question is actually related to Automated Build Studio, please create a thread in the corresponding forum.

    Thanks Allen.

    When I compile, I get "aqDateTime undefined".

    I'm not too familiar with JScript.  Do I need to "include" (speaking in C ++  term) a package

    in order to use date and time features?

    Hi Chris,


    The aqDateTime and aqConvert scripting objects exist only in TestComplete 6.50 and newer versions of the tool. Do you face this error on these versions of TestComplete?

    Yeah, I just need to get a later version of TestComplete and retest. Thanks
