TitleNews timeStamp return result actionscript 3 SDK

Did the titleNews TimeStamp response change?

I got the result from response is "2017-06-15T07:30:00Z".

And when construct the TitleNewsItem from GetTitleNewsResult, it was using PlayfabUtil.parseDate(data:String) function to parse the timeStamp and return "Invalid date"

I was using actionscriptSDK and i debugged that the milisecond value is undefined when parsing the timeStamp using regexp.

Note: result[7] and result[8] is undefined

	    var year:Number = parseInt(result[1]);
            var month:Number = parseInt(result[2]);
            var day:Number = parseInt(result[3]);


            var hour:Number = parseInt(result[4]);
            var minute:Number = parseInt(result[5]);
            var second:Number = parseInt(result[6]);


            var milliseconds:Number = 0;
            if(result.length == 9)
                milliseconds = parseInt(result[8])

It is absolutely intended that you should be able to use PlayFabUtil.parseDate(). I can also confirm that there's an error in that function, specifically with our TimeStamp regex here.

It won't parse a timestamp unless the timestamp is formatted like this:
"2017-06-15T07:30:00.0Z"
(Note the extra ".0" milliseconds)

I have to brush up on my regex, and figure out why the ? in the regex parser:

new RegExp("(\\d+)\\-(\\d+)\\-(\\d+)T(\\d+)\\:(\\d+)\\:(\\d+)(\\.(\\d+))?Z?", "x");

isn't doing it's job.

I have found the issue. The fix is now submitted to the auto-builder, and will be available in the next published version of AS3-SDK: 0.48

It does look like the regex in the SDK does not handle cases where the milliseconds are missing. And the service is not returning milliseconds if they're exactly 0. We're checking to see if that's a regression, but one quick way to fix this for your title is to ensure that your news items always have non-zero milliseconds.

How to make the title news has non-zero milliseconds from game center?

Actually, just change this line:

if(result.length == 9)

To this:

if(result.length == 9 && result[8])

That should fix the issue for you. We'll have an updated SDK live soon.
