Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Sayan Das 2024-03-20 15:50:03 UTC 
Description of problem:

For some end-users it might be needed to print the report generation time and date both in the report itself. 

We have a global macro present for printing the date only i.e. current_date . We also have a macro present to format the time if a valid time input present i.e. forman_time but none of them can give me the Full date and time.

The end-result always is just Date or else Date with broken time.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Any version of Red Hat Satellite 6 ( Tested on 6.14 )


How reproducible:

100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a report template by name test and just add these lines

<%= current_date + "\n" -%>
<%= format_time(current_date) + "\n" -%>

2. Preview\Render the template

3. Check in the Help tab for a current_time macro to work with


Actual results:

3. No such macro exists

2. Rendering results:

2024-03-20
2024-03-20  0:00:00 +0530

The time is wrong


Expected results:

There should be a macro present to print the current time as well.

This fixes the issue:

And now I can use this i.e. 

<%= current_date + ' ' + current_time + "\n" -%>

which will print 

2024-03-20 21:20:56 +0530


I will send a upstream PR about it
