Add hours to a date?

[colinj]

So I'm looking at the available pieces that I can put together in a workflow schema and I see that there is one labeled "Add hours to date" so I thought I would give it a try. The code that is uses is as follows:

//Auto-generated script
if (aDate != null) {
    aDate.addHours(hours) ;
}
else  {
    throw "'aDate' is NULL";
}

When I try and use this I get the following error:

TypeError: Cannot find function addHours. (Workflow:New workflow / Add hours to date (item2)#2)

I've searched the API and there does not seem to be any sort of addHours method. Is this a known problem? Am I missing a plugin?

Thanks!

I tested this and got the same result as you did, there is no method of 'addHours' :smileyconfused:

I'm using vCO 4.1.1 build 733

In the event you need a workaround, create a new scriptable task with the same inputs and outputs and use this code:

if (aDate != null) {
//aDate.addHours(hours) ;
aDate.setHours(aDate.getHours() + hours);
}
else  {
throw "'aDate' is NULL";
}

Glad to finally get a chance to give back to the community!

Definitely a bug. Never caught this one in 4 years of vCO use. Actualy I never noticed the box ...

Please report it to VMware Global Support Services.
