how to get current timestamp in a gremlin traversal?

Question

Is there a way to do something like that in Gremlin traversals?:

g.addV("User").property("createdDate",now())

this should create a Vertex of label User with a field createdDate containing current timestamp.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Try this

g.addV("User").property("createdDate",System.currentTimeMillis())

That worked for me on DSE Graph

Answer 2

You can try this,

g.addV("User").property("createdDate", new Date())

This will work in gremlin console.
