Get Current time in Milliseconds

VirtEyes

I am trying to generate a timestamp of the current time but in milliseconds. Is there a scripting option to do this, perhaps Extension tool, or is it possible to generate it via the Data Generator Tool?

This is possible in the Data Generator Tool, you will want to use a syntax like the following:

HH:mm:ss.SSS or hh:mm:ss.SSS a
This will give you a time stamp like
13:30:00.010 or 01:30:00.010 PM, respectively.

Hope this helps!

Hey Thomas, will this generate the timestamp as just the number of milliseconds?
Ex: 12 pm -> 12333434 milliseconds

We have a script that does this but I haven't adjusted yet to Virtualize, additionally, I want to see if I could use the Data Generator Tool instead:

import java.util.GregorianCalendar;
GregorianCalendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();
responsedate = cal.getTimeInMillis();

testExec.setStateObject("responsedate", responsedate);

I think in that case I missed your question It looks like this should be handled in an extension tool.

If you want to do this in Javascript, then I would use the following:
var d = new Date("<Today's Date>");
var n = d.getMilliseconds();

Hey Thomas, that resource works however it returns a three digit number

I dug around and produced this Groovy script which works:

import com.parasoft.api.*

public int getMili(){
Calendar responsedate = Calendar.getInstance();

return responsedate.getTimeInMillis() / 1000;

}

Folks, just use java.lang.System.currentTimeMillis()
