Date function stopped working after 9.7.2 update?

Miscellaneous
20

I compared the jars contained in the v9.7.2 and v9.0.0.

I believe that I have found out what mistake Katalon team has made. Let me report it.

What I observed

Jars contained in v9.0.0

Date.format_v9.0.0
Date.format_v9.0.03104×1960 1.07 MB

v9.0.0 contained 2 jars: groovy-datetime-3.0.17.jar and groovy-dateutil-3.0.17.jar.

Both jars contained a file with the same path
META-INF/groovy/org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.ExtensionModule.

The content of 2 ExtensionModule files are silightly different.

The groovy-datetime-*.jar has the ExtensionModule file that declares:

staticExtensionClasses=org.apache.groovy.datetime.extensions.DateTimeStaticExtensions

The groovy-dateutil-*.jar has the ExtesionModule file that declares:

staticExtensionClasses=org.apache.groovy.datetime.extensions.DateUtilStaticExtensions

Jar contained in v9.7.2

Date.format_v9.7.2_
Date.format_v9.7.2_3104×1960 953 KB

v9.7.2 containd a jar groovy-3.0.17-fat.jar.

The fat.jar contained a file of path META-INF/groovy/org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.ExtensionModule, which declares:

staticExtensionClasses=org.apache.groovy.datetime.extensions.DateTimeStaticExtensions

Problem

v9.7.2 misses a META-INF/groovy/org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.ExtensionModule file that declares

staticExtensionClasses=org.apache.groovy.datetime.extensions.DateUtilStaticExtensions
