[Siva]

Hi Team

 I want to verify the time displayed in the website, it  supposed to have the localtime displayed.

Could you give me a c# code for verifying time

Thanks

Hello Siva,

You might find useful to read these articles about the .NET DateTime object and its ToString function.

DateTime now = DateTime.Now;

DateTime tomorrowDate = now.AddDays(1);
DateTime in2hours = now.AddHours(2);

string time = now.ToString("hh:mm:ss");
string ampm = now.ToString("tt");

Log.WriteLine("Current date and time: " + now.ToString());
Log.WriteLine("Tomorrow is: " + tomorrowDate.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy"));
Log.WriteLine("In 2 hours the time will be: " + in2hours.ToString("hh:mm:ss tt"));
Log.WriteLine("Current time is: " + time);
Log.WriteLine("Is it AM or PM: " + ampm);

The above code produces this output:

'8/2/2013 2:51:17 PM' - LOG: Current date and time: 8/2/2013 2:51:17 PM
'8/2/2013 2:51:17 PM' - LOG: Tomorrow is: 08/03/2013
'8/2/2013 2:51:17 PM' - LOG: In 2 hours the time will be: 04:51:17 PM
'8/2/2013 2:51:17 PM' - LOG: Current time is: 02:51:17
'8/2/2013 2:51:17 PM' - LOG: Is it AM or PM: PM

When you make sure that you have the current date and time formatted in the right way, you can set it to an extraction variable:

DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
string dateTime= now.ToString("d MMM yyyy");
string time = now.ToString("HH:mm");
Log.WriteLine(dateTime);
Log.WriteLine(time);
SetExtractedValue("currentDate", dateTime);
SetExtractedValue("currentTime", time);

On your website you can use a Quick Verification for the number and use the Verify - text contains option. Select the test step and click the (Bindings) drop-down in the Properties pane. Set ExpectedString to the currentDate  or currentTime variable.

I have recorded a short video to show you how you can do this. 

I hope this helps.

Hi Velkin

 Thanks for you response, i have another issue when my variable calculated the time as "11:00:01 am"
next step will verify text  contains ahead 1 second "11:00:02 am" so i'm getting failure.
appreciate your feed back

Hello Siva,

If you need to verify using the time from the previous or the next second, you can use the following code:

DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
Log.WriteLine(now.ToString());
DateTime nextSecond = now.AddSeconds(1);
Log.WriteLine(nextSecond.ToString());
DateTime lastSecond = now.AddSeconds(-1);
Log.WriteLine(lastSecond.ToString());

Looking forward to hearing from you.
