Using Delphi Script - gDifference := aqDateTime.TimeInterval(gTimeStart, gTimeEnd); aqConvert.TimeIn

Using Delphi Script:

 

gDifference := aqDateTime.TimeInterval(gTimeStart, gTimeEnd);

 

aqConvert.TimeIntervalToStr(gDifference)

 

When the start and end time runs past midnight the result appears to be the 24 hours minus the difference e.g.

 

Starting at - 180413_155526 - approx 15:55 previous day

Ending at - 180414_011324 - approx 01:11 next day
Elapsed duration for script in Days:Hours:Minutes:Seconds format: 0:14:42:02

 

But actual elapsed time more like 10 hours.

    Excellent using the NOW parameter fixed the issue - please see example as below:

     

    Starting at - 180424_170500
    Ending at - 180425_050207
    Elapsed duration for script in Days:Hours:Minutes:Seconds format: 0:11:57:07

      FYI -

       

      What that did was connect you with TestComplete Support.  You're perfectly welcome to ask the question both places, but if you get the answer from Support, please post it here to share with others.  People answering questions here are knowledgeable users, but Support still knows a few things that we don't!

       

      Also, that reference number is only useful for you and Support.  It doesn't link from anything here.

      You need to make sure that gTimeStart and gTimeEnd include a date value along with the time value.  That's the only way to account for greater than a full day.
