hi jamescarr,
Plug in very good.Thank you for providing such plugins. I want datetime format as “Wednesday, July 6, 2011 8:54:42 AM EDT”. I identified the date format as “EEEE,MMMM dd,yyyy HH:mm:ss z” But i don’t have any such sort of plug-in to support the above datetime format in fitnesse. Can you please help me. Is it possible to get the above format form the existing date format. I don’t think so but doubt about it.

Thanks in Advance James

Regards
gita

I am using the following command line:

java -cp fitnesse.jar fitnesse.FitNesse -jar SysdatePlugin.jar -p 8080 -e 0

and see the following:

FitNesse (v20090112) Started…
port: 8080
root page: fitnesse.wiki.FileSystemPage at ./FitNesseRoot
logger: none
authenticator: fitnesse.authentication.PromiscuousAuthenticator
html page factory: fitnesse.html.HtmlPageFactory
page version expiration set to 0 days.
Custom wiki widgets loaded:
fitnesse.wikitext.widgets.SystemDateWikiWidget

which leads me to believe the plugin is installed properly.

When I try to use the plugin in the page either in a markup variable such as:

!define currentdate {!sysdate}

or in a column fixture such as:

I do not see the date.

However when I simply put

!sysdate

at the top of the wiki page, I see the 01112010.

Can you help me out? I really would like to use this plugin and understand plugin’s in general.

Thanks,
Faith

Hi,
Great plugin.

We have come across a problem: the sysdate does not get intetrpreted (e.g. substituted by the date string).

Example:
!| Generic Fixture | ${sel} |
| user types | !sysdate(dd/MM/yyyy) | into field | sSomeField |

we are not sure if it is related to the Generic Fixture plugin we are using or not.
The only occasion where we found it to work is in !Comment tables.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Aristotelis.

Christine,

I faced the same issue, because as it is stated on FitNesse.MarkupVariables:
“The text in a variable is never interpreted as wiki markup. It is always raw literal text.”

Wonderful plugin!

Solves the old current-date-moving-target-testability problem!

Thank you!

Hi,
is it possible to store the sysdate in a variable or use it within a cell of a fixture table?

If I type in !sysdate at the beginning of a line everything works.

Then I tried:
!define dateVar {!sysdate}

result:
variable defined: dateVar=!sysdate
(I expected: variable defined: dateVar=06202008)

and sysdate was not replaced by the date..

Do I miss something ?

Thank you in advance
Christine

Hi Dava and Peter,

The problem your having results from the plugin not being on your classpath… you must add the jar to your classpath when you run fitnesse. This can be done by adding the jar to the -cp argument in the fitnesse.bat file.

Hope that helps!
