Code to get the current date in yyyy-MM-dd format?

Hi Team,

I need the code to get the current  date in yyyy-MM-dd format and I need to minus with the date with a week / Month and Year to send the valid response. Can anyone give me the code, so I can use it in dispatch style (Script) to send the response. I want the response as "2020-02-24" format.

 

I used thebelow code but the output is not has excepted.

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

Output:

Mon Feb 17 16:38:34 AEDT 2020:INFO:2020-02-17

Mon Feb 17 16:38:34 AEDT 2020:INFO:2020-02-07

 

Thanks

    Use below: if you just need local date time.

     

     

    log.info java.time.LocalDateTime.now().plusDays(10).format(java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd"))

      Hi Mate,

       

      Thanks for sharing the code, but unfortunately it did not work as excepted. It's still giving the result in the below format. "Tue Feb 18 09:55:01 AEDT 2020:INFO:2020-02-18". But I need only the date with "yyyy-MM-dd" format, bcoz I need to send the response based on condition like

      1. current date - 7,

      2. current date - fortnight,

      3. current date - Month,

      4. current date - Year,

       

      Thanks

        Hi senthkum,

        nmrao gave you the correct code.

        When you use log.info(variablename), that is writing the variable/property to your logging.

        So...when you state the value returned in your logging is "Tue Feb 18 09:55:01 AEDT 2020:INFO:2020-02-18", this is correct.

        The actual value for the logged variable/property is the value returned AFTER 'INFO:' in the response.

        So in this case the value returned when you executed your groovy script is '2020-02-18' which corresponds to 'yyyy-MM-dd' ehich is what you asked for. :)

        Cheers,

        Rich
