toString(date_val, 'yyyy-MM-dd') doesn't seem to work #312

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Docs say that you can pass a format to toString and that will be used in case 
date_val is a date object.

I can't make it work in Version 2.0 [r1836]

I believe this has been fixed in the trunk version. Would you mind trying the 
trunk version?

Oh my. I'll need to setup all this java env thing I'm not used to. 
I'll try to do that when I have some time. 

But for now I got a ugly workaround that worked for me, but may not work for 
others with the same issues and in the need of a more complex date format.

    value.datePart('year') + '-' + value.datePart('month') + '- ' + value.datePart('day')

It won't give you the same results, but may work for others with same issue 
till a new stable is released.

There is a 2.1 release candidate available now that you can use to test whether 
this has been fixed.

Please let us know your results.

By the way, I just noticed that I replied from my corp mail. But I'm the same 
person.
