Hi All, 

I need help to subtract date in my application.

Scenario: Need to check application shouldn't more than 30 days.

1) Application date I'll present in application need to get that date

2)Need to get current date

3)Subtract application date and current data and need to get date count between that 

Regards,

Peshwanth

Hi

Please see builtin Datetime library which provides the ability to manipulate date and time

1. Get date from application (assume its a text in application)

${current_application_date}=    Get Text   <locator>

2. Get Current Date (using datatime library)

${current_date}=    Get Current Date   result_format=%d.%m.%Y

3. Subtract both date's (assumes both the date formats are same)

${difference_date}=    Subtract Date From Date    ${current_date}    ${current_application_date}

Should Be True  ${difference_date}<30

Hi,

Thanks for suggestions. I have installed DateTime library i have import that library in my script too. But I am not getting keywords like 'Get current date',"subtract date from date".  

I have installed DateTime 4.3. If i need to install some other library pls provide link for that. I am trying to download DateTime 3.1.1 but I am not getting zip file.

I am using Robot Framework 2.7.7 (Python 2.7 on win32)

Ugh

DateTime is a Robot Framework standard library starting from 2.8.x release. Therefore it's not available in your installation, easiest way to get it, is to update your installation.

Wow, that's an ancient version. I hope your project has plans to
upgrade soon. Unfortunately there have been several backwards
incompatible changes after 2.7.7 and upgrading directly to the latest
version may not be easy. I'd recommend you to upgrade first to 2.8.x
('x' referring to the latest version in that series), then to 2.9.x,
than to 3.0.x and finally to 3.1.x. Biggest changes are probably those
related to variables in RF 2.9. Anyway, the only way to learn about
the problems is trying out and reading release notes in detail. Good
luck!

The DateTime module you have installed is most likely this:
https://pypi.org/project/DateTime/. It's a legacy module related to
Zope and isn't related to Robot Framework at all. As Tatu already
commented, Robot's own DateTime library is included in RF 2.8 and
newer. You could try extracting it from newer version and using with
RF 2.7.7 but I got a feeling that it uses internal APIs not available
in that version. Probably easier to upgrade.

Cheers,
