How I use time as variable in Katalon Studio?

like robot framework
${time} = Get Time
when I run “sign up” test case, I can input account ${time}, so it is unique.
It will not repeat when I run “sign up” test case every time

Thanks.

Try this…

//ADD to import header in test case

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat

//Google search for SimpleDateFormat for other formats that can be used

String CDATE = new SimpleDateFormat(“MM-dd-yyyy”).format(Calendar.getInstance().getTime());

String CTIME = new SimpleDateFormat(“HH:mma”).format(Calendar.getInstance().getTime());

println('CurrentDate: ’ + CDATE)

println('CurrentTime: ’ + CTIME)

Thanks Dave,
CDATE works fine. :smiley:
But how about past date and future date ?

Would you happen to know how to get date from an element and match it to today’s date to pass a test?

basically,

  1. I’m creating a value and it has the creation date
  2. I want to fetch that creation date (element) and match it to today’s date to pass
