Invalid start_date argument for getDuration method

Gantt
#1

We get an issue only using Internet Explorer 11 with startDate or endDate equal to “0001-01-01T00:00:00”.

Can you fix this please.

Thanks

PS : We are using last version available (6.3.4)

Hello Dominique,
I don’t get any issues when I try to use that method in Internet Explorer:

Probably, the issue is related to Gantt configuration, but it is hard to suggest what might be wrong as I don’t see your code. Please, reproduce the issue in the snippet, then click on the “Share” button and send me the link:

Or send me an HTML file with all the necessary Javascript and CSS files.

Hello,

I think you missed the important point, the date should be “0001-01-01T00:00:00” !

Hello Dominique,
Thank you for the clarification, but I still cannot reproduce the issue:

Hello,

I have the same error but not everywhere.
Dates are the same on the DB and on the Gantt chart (01 march 2020).
It happens when I drag the task or when I drag the progress bar or when I save a task.
When it bugs, it seems like the div is always in drag mode, the cursor is still moving with the mouse
The backend give me a date like ‘DD/MM/YYYY’, I change it with new Date(Moment(myDate,“DD/MM/YYYY”).format())
It work on the first lines but not for other ones added later even the ones add by drag and drop from another vue component.

I finally found out where the problem came from, it was the constraint_date that was loaded with ‘null’ value.

Hello Shatao,
Probably, you are generating an invalid date the second time you update the ganttTask.end_date parameter.
Here is an example:

If you want to increate the task duration, you need to update the duration parameter and then use the calculateEndDate method:

ganttTask.start_date = new Date(taskStart_CalendarDate + " 00:00");
ganttTask.duration = taskDuration;
ganttTask.end_date = gantt.calculateEndDate(ganttTask)

https://docs.dhtmlx.com/gantt/api__gantt_calculateenddate.html
Also, after updating a task, you don’t need to call the refreshData method as Gantt will repaint the change for the task in the updateTask method.
Here is the updated snippet:
