Runtime error on adding working days to current date

[abrar22]

Hi Guys,

I have written a method to add working days to current date but its throwing an runtime exception while running below code

function addWorkDaysToDate(fromDate, days)
{
var count = 0;
while (count < days)
{
fromDate.setDate(fromDate.getDate() + 1); ----------------------------------------------Breaks on this line
if (fromDate.getDay() != 0 && fromDate.getDay() != 6) // Skip weekends
count++;
}
return fromDate.toDateString();
}

Value i am passing for example is fromDate: 02/02/18 and days: 4

Please assist on what is incorrect

is fromDate passed as a string?  If so, you can't call the setDate method.  You need to convert the string to a date time and then user associated methods.

For that matter, there is built in functionality in test complete for manipulating dates.  Try the following.

function addWorkDaysToDate(fromDateString, days){
    var fromDate = aqConvert.StrToDate(fromDateString);
    var count = 0;
    while (count < days){
        fromDate = aqDateTime.AddDays(fromDate, 1);
        if ((aqDateTime.GetDayOfWeek(fromDate) !=1) && (aqDateTime.GetDayOfWeek(fromDate) != 7)){

        count++
        }
    }

    return aqConvert.DateTimetoStr(fromDate);
}
