Support Manager 2 DateTime addHours not working
Hi, I am trying to add hours in a datetime in apex. It seems that it is not working, am I missing something?
Below is the code:
If you look at it, the results are the same after adding 3 hours.
Below is the code:
@istest
class DateFormatTest {
static testmethod void test() {
String myDtString;
String timestart = '2016-09-02 18:15:26';
Datetime dt = Datetime.valueOf(timestart);
myDtString = dt.format('MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm a');
System.debug('1: '+ myDtString); //result: 1: 09/02/2016 06:15 PM
dt.addHours(3);
myDtString = dt.format('MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm a');
System.debug('2: '+ myDtString); //result: 2: 09/02/2016 06:15 PM
}
}
If you look at it, the results are the same after adding 3 hours.

Try doing something like this instead
@istest class DateFormatTest { static testmethod void test() { String myDtString; String timestart = '2016-09-02 18:15:26'; Datetime dt = Datetime.valueOf(timestart); myDtString = dt.format('MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm a'); System.debug('1: '+ myDtString); //result: 1: 09/02/2016 06:15 PM dt = dt.addHours(3); myDtString = dt.format('MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm a'); System.debug('2: '+ myDtString); //result: 2: 09/02/2016 06:15 PM } }I have come across this before and its a real pain the first time around.
Hope this helps!
