Claude Brisson commented on VELOCITY-956: ----------------------------------------- I have the following test template: {code} #set( $inTimeZone = $date.getTimeZone().getTimeZone('Europe/Berlin') ) #set( $outTimeZone = $date.getTimeZone().getTimeZone('Asia/Shanghai') ) #set( $locale = $date.getLocale() ) #set( $myDate = $convert.parseDate("2022-04-22 00:00","yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm",$locale,$inTimeZone)) inTimeZone = $inTimeZone outTimeZone = $outTimeZone locale = $locale myDate = $myDate ${date.format('yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm a',$myDate,$locale,$outTimeZone)} {code} I could not exactly reproduce your problem: with engine 2.3 and tools 3.1, as well with engine 1.7 and tools 2.0, the call $convert.parseDate returns null, I don't investigate further for now, I'm focusing on the engine issues. > velocity 1.7 vs velocity 2.3: evaluation of scripts with empty value is not > backward compatible > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: VELOCITY-956 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-956 > Project: Velocity > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Engine, Scripting > Affects Versions: 2.3 > Reporter: ambika > Priority: Major > > {*}Script{*}: > > "vLATE_GATE_IN_6":"#set( $inTimeZone = > $date.getTimeZone().getTimeZone('Europe/Berlin') )\n\n#set( $outTimeZone = > $date.getTimeZone().getTimeZone('Asia/Shanghai') )\n\n#set( $locale = > $date.getLocale() )\n\n#set( $myDate = > $convert.parseDate(${*}{lead.lateGateIn}{*},\"yyyy-MM-dd > HH:mm\",$locale,$inTimeZone) )\n\n${date.format('yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm > a',$myDate,$locale,$outTimeZone)} " > {*}note{*}: lead.lateGateIn = "" in the values > there are multiple other scripts vLATE_GATE_IN_5, vLATE_GATE_IN_4 but in the > script vLATE_GATE_IN_4 , the values for convert.parseDate is given as below: > $convert.parseDate("2022-04-22") > > {*}Issue{*}: > Older version of velocity evaluates the script vLATE_GATE_IN_6 to: > |Time):\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n2022-04-22 11:00 AM| > > Newer version of velocity evaluates the script vLATE_GATE_IN_6 to: > | |Time):\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n${date.format('yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm > a',$myDate,$locale,$outTimeZone)}| | -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@velocity.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@velocity.apache.org
