JavaScript - how to get current time but in different time zone(s)
- 7 months ago
Unfortunately, there seems to be no "simple" or built-in way how to get the actual time in different timezone. So I solved it by using powershell :) Here is the method I'm using...
// Get actual date in defined format and Time Zone
function GetSetActualDate(dateFormat, timeZoneString) {var oShell = getActiveXObject("WScript.Shell"); // Or oShell = WshShell
var oExec = oShell.Exec("powershell -command [System.TimeZoneInfo]::ConvertTime( (Get-Date), (Get-TimeZone -Id \\\"" + timeZoneString + "\\\")).ToString(\\\"" + dateFormat + "\\\")");
oExec.StdIn.Close(); // Close standard input before reading output// Get PowerShell output
var strOutput = oExec.StdOut.ReadAll();
// Trim leading and trailing empty lines
strOutput = aqString.Trim(strOutput, aqString.stAll);
return strOutput;
}And this is how it looks in keyword test:
I still believe the TC should directly support INTL library (now unsupported in JavaScript) and dynamic loading of external libraries is a must in a modern TA tool! I will make a feature request for both issues. But of course, I'm not naive to think that they will be fixed anytime soon :D Have a nice day.
