parsing - Convert use Date.parser() in groovy Extra minute -

in function exist 2 away convert celldatevalue in date, first use string (my problem one) , second use double.

if (celldatevalue ==~ /[0-9]{2}\\/[0-9]{2}\\/[0-9]{4}/){     return date.parse('dd/mm/yyyy', celldatevalue) } else {     return celldatevalue ? dateutil.getjavadate(celldatevalue.todouble()) : null } 

input: cellvalue equals 01/01/2016
output: 2016-01-01t00:01:00.000-0200 in output exist 1 minute more, create problem if compare other dates

my solution:
replace date.parse('dd/mm/yyyy', celldatevalue)
date.parse('dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm', celldatevalue + ' 00:00')

that away ?

you need change:

'dd/mm/yyyy' 

to

'dd/mm/yyyy' 

you're parsing second 01 minutes, mm months

ie:

return date.parse('dd/mm/yyyy', celldatevalue)
