I want to add hours or minutes to a current date. For example I create a Date object with current time and date, and I want to increment it by 30min, how can I do such thing

Answer 1

You can use TimeCategory

import groovy.time.TimeCategory

currentDate =  new Date()

println currentDate

use( TimeCategory ) {
    after30Mins = currentDate + 30.minutes
}

println after30Mins
