Bug ID: 54459
Summary: CSVSaveService does not handle date parsing very well
Product: JMeter
Version: unspecified
Hardware: PC
OS: Windows XP
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Main
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
CSVSaveService defaults to using
DEFAULT_DATE_FORMAT_STRING = "MM/dd/yy HH:mm:ss"
if the date does not parse as milliseconds.
This is not very helpful:
- it does not correspond with the suggested default in jmeter.properties, which
is now yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss.SSS
- the code does not check that the format actually works.
It would be a lot better if the format were at least checked to see if it
worked before proceeding to use it.
Also it ought to be possible to compare the date field with some common formats
and select one that works.
Likely input formats include:
yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss[.SSS]
yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss[.SSS]
yyyyMMdd HH:mm:ss[.SSS]
All the above should be easy to detect unambiguously.
However, if the file uses MM/dd/yy HH:mm:ss (US format) as per the current
code, it won't in general be possible to distinguish it from dd/MM/yy HH:mm:ss
(as used in Europe).
In this case, the format would need to be provided as a property.
