Generate Random Date in groovy

Question

I'm new to groovy and I'd like to know how to generate random dates in groovy, in a specific range. Let's say from June 2013 to June 2014.

Thanks

Answer 1

Consider this:

​def dateA = Date.parse("dd-MM-yyyy", "01-06-2013")
int range = 365
def randomInterval = new Random().nextInt(range)
def dateB = dateA.plus(randomInterval)

println dateA
println dateB

Note that this does not account for leap years.
