Creating new dates with timestamp from content studio fails

Help

Enonic version: 7.4.0

Hi

When I use a date from content studio as a parameter in the new Date() constructor, it fails when the timestamp has more than three milliseconds integers.

This timestamp will create a new date object: 2020-10-14T08:15:24.307Z
This timestamp will fail to create a new date object: 2020-10-14T08:15:24.3072Z.

The (new?) standard format for published.from are now 6 integers long, which will also fail when used as argument in new Date().

I am not sure what I can do or should do. Is there a way to configure content studio to only use 3 integers, or do I need to update anything, or do I need to write code to remove the integers, or is it a bug?

I guess the main problem might be the Nashorn version doesn’t support those timestamps.

Sincerely
Øyvind

It’s not Content Studio that does that, this is how dates are stored on the server.
Why don’t you conversion client-side? It works fine regardless of the milliseconds format:

Aha.

I use it to compare dates and want to do that server-side. In this case i think the logic should be in the controller, and not sent to the client.

When was this changed? I see that “old” published content still have 3 digits, but all new published content have 6.

It changed in XP7 and was caused by increased time precision in Java 9. XP6 was on Java 8 while XP 7 is on Java 11.

Thanks!

I ended up using a regexp to find and remove the numbers I didn’t want back-end.
