I have feature that is based on current date, and the question is if it is good solution to write if condition in scenario. Simple example: if tested date is equal to current then other field is equal to 0 else equal 10. Meybe there are libraries to mock current date time in symfony 4.
You could write a step like:
Then I should see sysdate with format "Y-m-d" in the "example" field
Then for your context:
public function iShouldSeeSysdateWithFormatInTheField(string $format, string $key)
{
$field = $this->getSession()->getPage()->findField($key);
$value = (new DateTime())->format($format);
if (is_null($field->getValue())) {
assertEmpty($value);
}
if($value != $field->getValue()) {
throw new Exception('date does not match');
}
}
I am using angular-bootstrap-datetimepicker. I know how to restrict the user from entering specific dates.
$dates.filter(function(date){
return (date.localDateValue() <= new Date().valueOf()-(24*60*60*1000));
}).forEach(function(date){
date.selectable = false;
})
This code insode startDateBefore render, prevents user from entering dates 24h past the current date.
But now I want users to enter spectic times only. Like user can select only times between 10:05am to 11:10pm. I am unable to do that. Documentation doesn't specify on how to add filter to hour and minutes. Any help on that.
In Angular Date Time Picker, the beforeRender function also takes parameter called view. So we can use the view==='hour' to restrict users from entering past hours. I was missing the code for hours.
function startDateBeforeRender ($view, $dates, $leftDate, $upDate, $rightDate) {
var today = moment().valueOf();
$dates.filter(function (date) {
return date.localDateValue() < today -(24*60*60*1000)
}).forEach(function (date) {
date.selectable = false;
});
// to restrict hours by admin
if ($view === "hour") {
// restict previous hours
$dates.filter(function (date) {
return date.localDateValue() < today
}).forEach(function (date) {
date.selectable = false;
})
}
}
date = new Date().valueOf();
if( date > 1000*(10*60+5) ){
if( date < 1000*(23*60+10) ){
//Code green, I repeat, CODE GREEN!
}
}
I'm now using WebdriverIO and developing a web app.
these days I tried to set a date from input type="date", I got errors
invalid element state: Element must be user-editable in order to clear
it.
and found that
I could get rid of the errors by using addValue() but still the value won't be cleared by any API.
client.clearElement('#deadline')
Also get
invalid element state: Element must be user-editable in order to clear
it.
How can I remove the value from the form?
You can run in browser script to clear it
browser.execute(function () {
document.querySelector('#deadline').value = '';
}, null);
OR give it some value
var date = '2020-03-28';
browser.execute(function (date) {
document.querySelector('#deadline').value = date';
}, date);
reference: https://github.com/webdriverio/webdriverio/issues/386
A more elegant way is to create a custom command and put this piece of code inside
this one worked for me:
client.selectorExecute("#dateInput", function(inputs, value) {
// you can run over the inputs
for (var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++) {
if (inputs[i].type == 'date') // any condition
inputs[i].value = "1973-12-09";
}
// or just do that:
inputs[i].value = "1973-12-09";
return;
})
I'm using DataTables 1.10.5. When I'm trying to sort on dates using the recommended moment.js (as per http://datatables.net/blog/2014-12-18), thinks work fine:
http://jsfiddle.net/9gohzd9t/1/
However, when I add a link (a href) to that date, it sorts on the link instead of the date:
http://jsfiddle.net/dnsL2oc4/1/
Any idea on how to properly fix this without too much hacking around?
The problem lies in the unshift method of datetime-moment.js. Moment tries to convert 12-01-2001 to a valid date in the given "DD-MM-YYYY"-Format, which it can't obviously. So you have to strip the html away from the date, probably with a function like this:
function strip(html) {
var tmp = document.createElement("DIV");
tmp.innerHTML = html;
return tmp.textContent || tmp.innerText || "";
}
And then strip the string in the unshift method (Replace datetime-moment.js with the code below):
$.fn.dataTable.moment = function (format, locale) {
var types = $.fn.dataTable.ext.type;
// Add type detection
types.detect.unshift(function (d) {
return moment(strip(d), format, locale, true).isValid() ?
'moment-' + format :
null;
});
// Add sorting method - use an integer for the sorting
types.order['moment-' + format + '-pre'] = function (d) {
return moment(strip(d), format, locale, true).unix();
};
};
I display my date in CGridView as: "22.6.2012 22:53" with:
array('name' => 'date',
'value' => date("j.n.Y G:i", strtotime($model->date))
),
But in my filter, I need to search in this format (which is in the database) to get results: "2012-06-22 22:53".
How can I make my filter to work in the format that is displayed in my CGridView? I've searched for an answer but haven't found one, I've also tried adding the date function in my model search() for this attribute:
$criteria->compare('date', date("j.n.Y G:i", strtotime($this->date), true);
but then I just get an empty list :)
Help would be greatly appreciated.
To begin with, you should not be using the value property to control the formatting of dates. The proper way is to set the type property to 'date' and, if you do not do this already, set CApplication.language to target the appropriate locale.
For the filter it would be best for the user if you use a CJuiDatePicker widget to let the user visually pick the date; there's a short and to-the-point guide on how to do that here.
Update:
Formatting columns with type == 'date' is done through CGridView.formatter, for which if you do not explicitly set a value the default is whatever the 'format' application component is. So you can specify and configure a CFormatter on the spot, or if you want to use the application's formatter but with slight modifications you can do
$formatter = clone Yii::app()->format;
$formatter->dateFormat = 'whatever'; // or $formatter->dateTimeFormat
and then assign this instance to CGridView.formatter.
compare() makes a sql sentence with the input, so I had to change the input to my wanted format.
my function:
function changeDateToDBformat($datum) {
if (strstr($datum, '.') || strstr($datum, ':')) {
$formats = array('!j.n', '!j.n.Y', '!j.n.Y H:i', '!n.Y H:i', '!n.Y', '!H:i', '!j.n.Y H', '!n.Y H', '!Y H:i', '!Y H');
$date = false;
foreach ($formats as $format) {
$date = DateTime::createFromFormat($format, $datum);
if (!($date === false)) {
$izbraniFormat = $format;
break;
}
}
if (!$date === false) {
$datum1 = $date->format('Y-m-d H:i');
$date2 = DateTime::createFromFormat(substr($izbraniFormat, 1, strlen($izbraniFormat)), $datum);
$datum2 = $date2->format('Y-m-d H:i');
$datumcas1 = explode(' ', $datum1);
$datumcas2 = explode(' ', $datum2);
$prvidatum = explode('-', $datumcas1[0]);
$drugidatum = explode('-', $datumcas2[0]);
$koncniDatum = '';
for ($a = 0; $a < sizeof($prvidatum); $a++) {
if ($prvidatum[$a] == $drugidatum[$a])
$koncniDatum .= '-' . $prvidatum[$a];
}
$koncniCas = '';
$prvicas = explode('-', $datumcas1[1]);
$drugicas = explode('-', $datumcas2[1]);
for ($a = 0; $a < sizeof($prvicas); $a++) {
if ($prvicas[$a] == $drugicas[$a])
$koncniCas .= ':' . $prvicas[$a];
}
$koncniDatum = substr($koncniDatum, 1, strlen($koncniDatum));
if (strlen($koncniCas) > 0)
$koncniDatum .= ' ' . substr($koncniCas, 1, strlen($koncniCas));
$datum = $koncniDatum;
}
}
return $datum;
}
//translations:
//izbrani == selected
//datum == date
//cas == time
//koncni == end
//prvi == first
//drugi == second
With this, a user can enter date in the format "j.n.Y H:i" and also just portions of this format (j.n, n.Y, Y H:i,...).
I would like to thank Jon and nickb for help! link
Like many others I also struggled with this, well displaying the grid wasn't the problem, but filtering in the localized datetime was!
So I created my own formatter, used it in the search() function of my models (when passing the search parameters to compare()) and it works like a charm.
I can now filter on date/datetime fields in any localization (I use Dutch):
"30-12-2018" becomes "2018-12-30"
">30-12-2018" becomes ">2018-12-30"
"30-12-2018 23:59:49" becomes "2018-12-30 23:59:49"
">=30-12-2018 23:59:49" becomes ">=2018-12-30 23:59:49"
My localization:
// dateFormat['short'] = 'dd-MM-yyyy'
// timeFormat['medium'] = 'HH:mm:ss'
Yii::app()->format->datetimeFormat = strtr(Yii::app()->locale->dateTimeFormat,
array("{0}" => Yii::app()->locale->getTimeFormat('medium'),
"{1}" => Yii::app()->locale->getDateFormat('short')));
Yii::app()->format->dateFormat = 'short';
Yii::app()->format->timeFormat = 'medium';
My CGridView contains the following date time column:
'mutation_date_time:dateTime'
And (a snippet of) my own formatter with some handy functions:
class Formatter extends CLocalizedFormatter
{
public function formatWithoutSearchOperator($value)
{
// This snippet is taken from CDbCriteria->compare()
if(preg_match('/^(?:\s*(<>|<=|>=|<|>|=))?(.*)$/',$value,$matches))
{
$value=$matches[2];
$op=$matches[1];
}
else
$op='';
return $value;
}
public function formatOnlySearchOperator($value)
{
// This snippet is taken from CDbCriteria->compare()
if(preg_match('/^(?:\s*(<>|<=|>=|<|>|=))?(.*)$/',$value,$matches))
{
$value=$matches[2];
$op=$matches[1];
}
else
$op='';
return $op;
}
/*
* Format a localized datetime back to a database datetime (Y-m-d H:i:s).

public function formatToDatabaseDatetime($value)
{
// get the comparison operator from the string:
$comparator = $this->onlySearchOperator($value);
// get the datetime without the comparison operator:
$datetime = $this->withoutSearchOperator($value);
// parse the given datetime according to the locale format to a timestamp
$datetime_parsed = CDateTimeParser::parse(
$datetime,
strtr(
Yii::app()->locale->datetimeFormat,
array(
"{0}" => Yii::app()->locale->getTimeFormat(Yii::app()->format->timeFormat),
"{1}" => Yii::app()->locale->getDateFormat(Yii::app()->format->dateFormat)
)
)
);
// if its not a valid date AND time, check if it can be parsed to a date only:
if($datetime_parsed === false)
{
$date_parsed = CDateTimeParser::parse(
$datetime,
Yii::app()->locale->getDateFormat(Yii::app()->format->dateFormat)
);
}
// If no time part given, also output only the date
if($datetime_parsed===false)
{
$transformed = date(
'Y-m-d',
$date_parsed
);
}
else
{
$transformed = date(
'Y-m-d H:i:s',
$datetime_parsed
);
}
return $comparator . $transformed;
}
}
And within my search() function in my CActiveRecord model I use the following to compare the localized datetime with the records in the database:
$criteria->compare('mutation_date_time',Yii::app()->format->toDatabaseDateTime(trim($this->mutation_date_time)),true);
Please note the trim() there, that's by design (see function description formatToDatabaseDateTime()).
A big difference with filtering directly in correct database format: an invalid date converts to "1970-01-01"!
I highly appreciate feedback and I really hope my code helps somebody!
