Node ASO fails to add DateTime variable to Server

[pcogermany]

This error is like #6 but with a DateTime instead of Boolean. In the debug section I get: AssertionError [ERR_ASSERTION]: value === null || value instanceof Date I tried version from 1.0.15 to 2.0.4

additional information: I used a OPCUA Inject Node with a timestamp as payload. That didn't work as described above, but I also tried to put a function block with msg.payload = new Date(); between the inject and ASO and that didn't work either.

server has to parse write value

fixed in v2.0.5

That was fast, thank you! However I'm not able to write a DateTime value by defining msg.addressSpaceItems and then put the Date into msg.valuesToWrite. All I get is another assertion error, as the code "thinks", the datatype is a string instead of a DateTime: "AssertionError [ERR_ASSERTION]: typeof value === "string" || value === null" Do you have an idea about the problem?

Looks like the DateTime datatype is missing in this switch/case: https://github.com/biancode/node-red-contrib-iiot-opcua/blob/9093171e89b0db5e9e15befd70344138e8598ccd/src/core/opcua-iiot-core.js#L198 Would you mind aading something like this:

    case 'DateTime':
    case opcua.DataType.DateTime:
      variantValue = {
        dataType: opcua.DataType.DateTime,
        value: new Date(value)
      }
    break

please test v2.0.7 or above
