How to add a date 7 days after you run the test

Is it possible to add a date, for example, 7 days from the moment that you run the test?
Now we have it like this so that a hard date will be inserted.

WebUI.setText(findTestObject(‘Object Repository/*** - _3c37a1/input_Datum_phaseDateDay-0’),
‘01’)

WebUI.setText(findTestObject(‘Object Repository/*** - _3c37a1/input_Dag_phaseDateMonth-0’),
‘09’)

WebUI.setText(findTestObject(‘Object Repository/*** - _3c37a1/input_Maand_phaseDateYear-0’),
‘2022’)

Sample Test Case:

import java.time.LocalDateTime

import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter

LocalDateTime now = LocalDateTime.now();

println "today is " + DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd").format(now);

LocalDateTime day1weekAfterToday = now.plusDays(7)

println day1weekAfterToday.getDayOfMonth()

println day1weekAfterToday.getMonthValue()

println day1weekAfterToday.getYear()

When I ran this, I got

Thank you very much. We will take a look beginning of next week.

Sorry, but the way you explain it, you are trying to have a folder with a variable name. That doesn’t sound right–just adding huge complications if it is possible. Just name the folder, “NextWeekItems” or “NextWeekItems_3c37a1”. That’s super simple–no complications at all.

What you probably want is the contents of your elements, such as input_Datum_phaseDateDay-0, input_Dag_phaseDateMonth-0 and input_Maand_phaseDateYear-0 to have a value of next week. That is doable, such as the below link, and with what @kazurayam has given you, you should be good to go.

I don’t think @suzanne.vandeneinden wants it.

I suppose that @suzanne.vandeneinden has already created 3 Test Objects in the Object Repository folder, possibly using the Recorder tool. The folder name contained something that needs to be kept secret, for example:

  • Object Repository/HeWhoMustNotBeNamed - _3c37a1/input_Dataum_phraseDateDay-0

So that she intentionally replaced it with a harmless string *** only on the post text above.

Yes that is true. Our customer did use the Recorder tool. And I did use the *** because of sensitive data.

What is the best solution to solve this?

I posted a solution 26 days ago.

I see but it is not totally clear for us.
Can you pleas help to get it more clear? Can you give maybe an example with the code that I gave you?
Thank you very much!

No, I can’t. Please help yourself.

Combining your code and @kazurayam’s, you may get something like:

import java.time.LocalDateTime
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter

LocalDateTime now = LocalDateTime.now();

println "today is " + DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd").format(now);

LocalDateTime day1weekAfterToday = now.plusDays(7)

WebUI.setText(findTestObject('***_3c37a1/input_Datum_phaseDateDay-0'), day1weekAfterToday.getDayOfMonth().toString())

WebUI.setText(findTestObject('***_3c37a1/input_Dag_phaseDateMonth-0'), day1weekAfterToday.getMonthValue().toString())

WebUI.setText(findTestObject('***_3c37a1/input_Maand_phaseDateYear-0'), day1weekAfterToday.getYear().toString())
