Justin Mclean commented on FLEX-24691: -------------------------------------- Confirmed still an issue. > ObjectUtil.dateCompare does not handle an invalid date object > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLEX-24691 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-24691 > Project: Apache Flex > Issue Type: Bug > Components: .Unspecified - Framework > Affects Versions: Adobe Flex SDK 4.1 (Release) > Environment: Affected OS(s): Mac > Affected OS(s): Mac OS 10.6 > Browser: Firefox 3.x > Language Found: English > Reporter: Adobe JIRA > Assignee: Justin Mclean > Labels: easyfix, easytest > > Steps to reproduce: > 1. Create an invalid Date object: var a:Date = new Date(Date.parse("")) > 2. Create a valid Date Object: var b:Date = new Date() > 3. Compare these dates: ObjectUtil.dateCompare(a,b); > > Actual Results: > The comparison returns 0. This is because dateCompare uses Date.getTime() to > compare values, and a.getTime() returns NaN which is neither less than nor > greater than a valid number. However, it is also not equal, which is the > assumption in dateCompare(). > > Expected Results: > either 1 or -1 > > Workaround (if any): > Be careful in your code to not pass such a Date into > ObjectUtil.dateCompare(). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
