JMeter: How to get date of last week starting from sunday till saturday?

Question

The scenario is I need to get last week date in format yyyy-mm-dd HH:mm:ss from last Sunday till Saturday(date will increment by 1 from last week of Sunday till Saturday) and like wise one more is to get date from past 20 weeks(till last week).

How may I get it?

Answer 1

Your requirement is not very clear so I can provide only a generic solution:

1. Getting the "last Sunday"

    def calendar = Calendar.instance
    def delta = Calendar.SUNDAY - calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK)
    calendar.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, delta)
    log.info('Last Sunday: ' + calendar.time.format("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"))
   

   

2. Getting all previous "dates" for last 20 weeks:

    def now = new Date()
    use(groovy.time.TimeCategory) {
        def twentyWeeksAgo = now - 30.weeks
        def duration = now - twentyWeeksAgo
        1.upto(duration.days, {
            twentyWeeksAgo = twentyWeeksAgo + 1.days
            log.info(twentyWeeksAgo.format('yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss'))
        })
    }
