I need to compare the date and time displayed on the screen with the current date and time. I have tried many methods, including using the previous code, but I am encountering an error. I have attempted various approaches without success. Please assist me.

Please print the value of elementText and currentDateTime into the system.out and show it to us. This would help us to understand how wrong your code is.

You used the Mobile.verifyElementText with wrong arguments. What’s wrong? Read the doc.

You are expecting the Mobiel.verifyElementText to return a String as the content of an HTML element, but it never does so. Read the doc. The keyword will return a Boolean value (true or false). And Groovy interpreter implicitly conversts the boolean true to a string "true". So your code will always see "true" or "false" as the value of a call to Mobile.verifyElementText(). That’s not what you are expecting.

I believe, you want to use Mobile.waitForElementPresent and Mobile.getText.

The java.util.Calendar class is outdated. Since Java 8, you shouldn’t use it any longer. You should prefer the Date Time API of Java 8. See

The problem unaddressed here comes directly from the title of this thread:

Quote:
Confirm that the time and date [WHERE?] match the current time and date [WHERE?]

Typically, there are at least TWO, usually THREE, sometimes more parts in play, all of which have context relating to current time and and date :

User agent (browser) ← → Web server ← → Database

If you don’t understand the context, you can’t write a meaningful test.
