Hi,

i'm trying to build a function that gives me the difference between two date-times, but it doesn't work and nothing changes when changing the dates

start_time = fields.Datetime(string='Start Time', default=fields.Datetime.now)
end_time = fields.Datetime(string='End Time', default=fields.Datetime.now)

@api.onchange('start_time', 'end_time')
def _get_time(self):
    t1 = datetime.datetime.strptime(self.start_time, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
    t2 = datetime.datetime.strptime(self.end_time, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
    time_diff = (t2 - t1)
    self.unit_amount = time_diff
 
can anyone tell me the wrong in my code?
Thanks

Hi, Ali

In Odoo 13 you don't need to use "strptime".

You can simply need subtract directly from fields. You can refer to the below code,

@api.onchange('start_time', 'end_time')
def _get_time(self):
    self.unit_amount = int(self.end_time - self.start_time)

For Odoo 12 you can use below code, (Updated My Answer for Odoo 12.0)

from datetime import datetime, timedelta
@api.onchange('start_time', 'end_time')
def _get_time(self):
    date_format = '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'
    t1 = datetime.strptime(str(self.start_time), date_format)
    t2 = datetime.strptime(str(self.end_time), date_format)
    time_diff = (t2 - t1)
    self.unit_amount = float(time_diff.seconds)

Thanks,

Hi, Ali

For Odoo 12 Kindly follow the below code,

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

@api.onchange('start_time', 'end_time')

def _get_time(self):

date_format = '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'

t1 = datetime.strptime(str(self.start_time), date_format)

t2 = datetime.strptime(str(self.end_time), date_format)

time_diff = (t2 - t1)

self.unit_amount = float(time_diff.seconds)

Thanks.

Hi, Ali

If field is float type then you needs to find total second,days etc. via timedelta object like code given my last post.

Hi,

I think you must pass a string instead of datetime when using strptime.Can you try after rewriting the code like below

@api.onchange('start_time', 'end_time')
def _get_time(self):
    t1 = datetime.datetime.strptime(str(self.start_time), '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
    t2 = datetime.datetime.strptime(str(self.end_time), '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
    time_diff = (t2 - t1)
    self.unit_amount = time_diff
