Hiya,

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I would like to get the current date, so I can then pass this into a 'Validation' step (as a variable) to confirm the date displayed on a web page is the current date.

I have seen some other posts which suggest I need to use the following code:
However, I'm not sure where or how I'm using this code.
Can someone kindly advise if I need to add a 'User Code' step to my existing Recording module, give any 'Method' name, and for the 'Arguments' I change 'Type' to 'String' and paste the above code?

I apologise for perhaps a rather basic question, I'm clearly not a developer!!!

Many thanks,

Rob

Hi, you could first add the collection for your code snippets as described here - https://www.ranorex.com/help/latest/ran ... d-methods/

Then define the method to look something like this (may not be the most optimal, but it works)
Lastly, add the step for the module using these instructions - https://www.ranorex.com/help/latest/ran ... e-library/

You can run these 3 lines to make sure the method works

Thank you.

This worked, and I learnt something new

Many thanks for the help!!
