I am running a CucumberJs test and is trying to pass a file in liquid template as input, and is trying to figure out how to get a date either in past or future from the current system date (when the test runs).
This is how I have defined in liquid template to get the current system date
"{{ "now" | date: "%Y%m%d" }}","{{ "now" | date: "%Y%m%d" }}"
There could be different ways to resolve this, but this is how it can be resolved.
{{ "now" | date: "%s" | minus: 86400 | date: "%Y%m%d" }}
In this case the date is converted into minutes, so 24hrs into seconds and then minus that to today's date.
