calculate Date in Listener script

[Andreas Lorz]

Hi,

I use a Adaptavist ScriptRunner Listener to calculate a Date/Time field and its value. But it's somehow not working.

Can you spot my mistake?

def dateofDeployDate = new GregorianCalendar(2020, 10, 1, 4, 30, 0)
def days = 1
def hours = 2
def mins = 3
def tempScheduledEndDate = new GregorianCalendar()
tempScheduledEndDate = dateofDeployDate.add(Calendar.DATE, days)
tempScheduledEndDate = dateofDeployDate.add(Calendar.HOUR, hours)
tempScheduledEndDate = dateofDeployDate.add(Calendar.MINUTE, mins)

In this example I want to calculate an "End of Deployment"-Time. I do this on basis of a dateofDeployDate (2020-10-01 at 4:30:00 a.m.) and want to simply add 1 day, 2 hours and 3 minutes. So the result of tempScheduledEndDate would be 2020-10-02 at 6:33:00 a.m).

But the build in compiler of scriptrunner tells me an error that says: Cannot find matching mehtod

Thanks in Advance.

hi @Andreas Lorz the correct script is:

def dateofDeployDate = new GregorianCalendar(2020, 10, 1, 4, 30, 0)
def days = 1
def hours = 2
def mins = 3
def tempScheduledEndDate = new GregorianCalendar()
dateofDeployDate.add(Calendar.DATE, days) //add method is void method, you are just "adding something" to existing instance
dateofDeployDate.add(Calendar.HOUR, hours)
dateofDeployDate.add(Calendar.MINUTE, mins)

tempScheduledEndDate = dateofDeployDate 

Did it help?

hi @Martin Bayer _MoroSystems_ s_r_o__ ,

unfortunately not. The error keeps the same.

But of course you are correct that I can just call the method

Any other guess?

hi @Andreas Lorz  I just tested the script, so I know it's working (at least for me :)). What Java version is used by your Jira instance? Could you attach some screenshot of the error?

Hi Martin,

I used your rare script (not in my actual project) and it worked.

Ok, I must admit that I used for simplification not my original script. That wasn't clever. I worked the whole time with String like '42' not with the integer. That was the reason why it also not recognice the method. When I use Integer.parseInt in my code it works. 

Thanks Martin for the help :)

Oh @Andreas Lorz I know the feeling :D 

That's why I sometimes hate simplifications in Groovy when comparing it with pure Java.

But I'm happy it is working for you now...
