Bug in 4.4.0 Create Date&Time Range Node

Hello,

On Knime 4.4.0, we are getting an error doing some simple things with create Date&Time range node.

You can duplicate it by:

Dropping a “Create Date&Time Range Node” on a workflow.
Configure the node–>

  1. Select Date&time with zone Output type.
  2. Select Variable for “Mode Selection”.
  3. Under “Ending Point”, enter 1h for Interval (or whatever, I’m not sure it matters).
  4. For End under same section, enter a time in the future.

You should get an error like:

It seems like this is probably because the Time Zone dropdown is missing in Ending Point section in 4.4.0.

Thank you for looking into this.

Kind regards,

Michael

Hi @txjmb , this bug might indeed be related to 4.4.0 (I cannot confirm this as I don’t have 4.4.0).

But, regarding what you said:

4.3.x also does not have the Time Zone dropdown in the Ending Point:

And I don’t get an error following your instructions.

That’s not to say that it could not be the problem. Perhaps 4.4.x does rely on the Time Zone for Ending Point, but I just wanted to point out that the Time Zone dropdown is not missing only in 4.4.0. It was already “missing” in 4.3.x and it worked fine.

Hello @txjmb,

have taken a look. Might be related to Java version change in v4.4:

Opened up a ticket for investigation (Internal reference: AP-17262). Someone will update ticket once there is news. Tnx for reporting this issue!
