Jelly script changelogset date issue with Mercurial plugin

[Arun Chandrasekaran]

Hi,

I'm reposting this from Jenkins-Users group.

I have a jelly script that displays the ChangeLogSet.date. Here is the snippet https://bpaste.net/show/b1dfd27acf66



However this displays cs.date as UNIX timestamp, as given by the mercurial plugin and not as string format.

Is there a way to convert UNIX timestamp to string in the jelly script? or does this require a fix in the Jenkins mercurial plugin?

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers,
Arun

That's a long. I think this asks for how to get a human readable date.

Yes, I left that as an exercise for the reader. My point was that this
is the generic API implemented by all SCMs, so there is no special
consideration for the `mercurial` plugin.

So, somebody needs to create a bug to the core

What's the bug? That the API doesn't support every imaginable representation of a date?

new Date(x.timestamp) (or rather its equivalent in Jelly) and you're done.

Thanks Jesse. I'm not able to figure out how to convert or embed that into a Jelly.

Here is what I've attempted. Am I missing something?

            <SPAN class="name">
               ${aUser != null ? aUser.displayName : cs.author.displayName} on
                ${
                     java.text.SimpleDateFormat sdf = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MMM-dd HH:mm:ss z");
                     java.util.Date dt = new java.util.Date(${cs.date});
                     sdf.format(dt);
                }
            </SPAN>

Do not attempt to put any nontrivial logic into a Jelly view—anything
beyond simple property accesses (`obj.prop`), `j:if` switches, etc.
should be considered suspect. Define Java methods in your plugin that
does all the real work, and have the view just fetch the result.
