Hello,


I want to have difference of dwo dates.

I write the function in Compute field in odoo:


fmt = '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'  
for record in self:
  record_id = record.id
  start_hour = record.date_start
  end = record.date_end
  if record.date_end is None:
  end = 0
  diff = 0
  else:
  end = record.date_end
  a = datetime.datetime.strptime(end, fmt)
  b = datetime.datetime.strptime(start_hour, fmt)
  diff = (a-b)
  record['x_test_true_working_hours'] = diff

But i have an error :


Traceback (most recent call last):

Hi Glosema,

to convert the record value to a datetime object, you should use the from_string. Therefore it's not necessary to know in which format the datetime records are stored in the database.

The error message you get means that the variable end or start_hour is a boolean instead of a string. The reason is that record.date_start and/or record.date_end is not defined and set to False.

Try following code to see if it meets your requirements.

import datetime
from openerp import fields

time_delta = datetime.timedelta(0)
if record.date_start and record.date_end:
start_datetime = fields.Datetime.from_string(record.date_start)
end_datetime = fields.Datetime.from_string(record.date_end)
time_delta = end_datetime - start_datetime
record['x_test_true_working_hours'] = time_delta


Best regards
