How are folks creating dates?

[Karen Tobo]

I'm making good progress developing tests with Selenesse and Slim. Now it's time to learn about using dynamic dates such as "today + 7 days", "first of next month", etc.

What are other folks doing? Is anyone using Marisa's SlimUtilities? Or maybe FitLibrary?

Thanks,

While I think this is no longer possible in Selenium Webdriver, in Se1.0 you can eval javascript inline.   I don't think I have an example of using the javascript date libraries handy, I do have a similar example that generates random text:  http://chrismcmahonsblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/selenesse-trick.html

Here's another example from this list exactly one year and one day ago:

| type; | ssn | javascript{RN =
Math.floor(Math.random()*

9999999);while (String(RN).length < 8) { RN=
RN+'0';}} |
| $SSN= | getValue | ssn |
| STUFF GOES HERE ||
| type; | search | $SSN |

Perfect! 

I was able to get some pointers from a team member and banged out a couple of examples:

|type;   | name=today | javascript{myDate=new Date(); displayDateString="" + (myDate.getMonth() + 1) + "/" + myDate.getDate() + "/" + myDate.getFullYear() } |

|type;   | name=plus7days | javascript{myDate=new Date(); myDate.setDate(myDate.getDate()+7); displayDateString="" + (myDate.getMonth() + 1) + "/" + myDate.getDate() + "/" + myDate.getFullYear() } |

I'd be interested to hear from anyone doing similar things with Se/Webdriver.
