Issue with Time await and conditional dateParts

[Mauro]

I'm trying to use Time await with a conditional dateParts, so that the starting date is the day after when it triggers unless it's Sunday, case in which the starting date is the next Monday.

I'm trying this:

the idea being that if tomorrow (Now + 24 * 3600) is Sunday, then the day/month/year is two days later (dateParts(Now + 48 * 3600)), otherwise is tomorrow (dateParts(Now + 24 * 3600)); when I run it, I get this error:

jawa.lang.IllegalStateException: Start time not found

and I can't understand what's the issue, also because each part runs without error (if I use only day, month or hear), I get the error only if I use all three of them; if I run it only with day and month, no error.

Try logging the three expressions to ensure they actually produce the expected values.

I tried, the log looks right: launched today the output is 12 8 2026, so tomorrow.

There are missing parentheses in the months expression. The binary shift is being done with the first dateParts function instead of the output of the conditional operator.

Also as a tip, you are currently creating the same date array multiple times in a row. Assigning them to two variables (tomorrow, the day after) simplifies the expressions a bit.

So I should put everything after 1 << inside parentheses? I'll try, thanks; if that's the issue, any idea why it seems to work if I don't use the year, while it breaks if I use it?

[Henrik "The Developer" Lindqvist]

Months should be 0x100 or 256 for September, since it's a bitmask, not 8.

Try putting parentheses around the right hand side operand in the left shift, i.e. 1 << (...)

With the month set to 8 (April), and the year to 2026, the block was set to await a date in the past, so errors out. Without the year, it was just waiting for the next April.
