It's a jenkins variable, nothing to do with Neoload, the format of mine is $Date{hh:mm - dd MMM yyyy}, maybe your format doesn't exist?

What do you have instead of the date? Do you still see the $Date.... command?

Do you use the NeoLoad plugin to run your test or just the command line option?

For the latter you may have to add a backslash prior to the date command like this: \$Date

There's no package to install. On Linux -testResultName "abc-\$Date{yyyy-MM-dd_HH.mm}" should work and on Windows -testResultName "abc-$Date{yyyy-MM-dd_HH.mm}"

Do you put your value between double quote as above? What is your exact command line?

If you run that command by replacing the Workspace variable by its value do you get the correct date in the description of your test result?

I was not able to reproduce that issue. Also i was not precise enough in my last comment. Have you run your command in a linux console outside of Jenkins?

When i run the same type of command on my case the test description gets the current date as expected.

Okay, so it looks like $Date{} is not a jenkins variable, more like when Neoload reads it in and sees this, it knows to drop a date in, but I'm guessing here. This does work though (https://support.cloudbees.com/hc/en-us/articles/226504048...).

My command works, this

def dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddHHmm")
sh 'NeoLoadCmd ... -testResultName "Pipeline Scenario '+ dateFormat.format(new Date()) +' (build ${BUILD_NUMBER})"

generates this -testResultName Pipeline Scenario 201904100944 (build 82)
