Joda Time - Wrong Result

Question

Can anyone tell me why this test is failing? I tried normal Java Date util and it also gave me the same result.

java.lang.AssertionError: expected: Wed Jan 01 00:07:00 CET 2014 but was: Fri Jan 31 00:06:00 CET 2014

public static Date addDaysToDate(Date fromDate, int days){       
    DateTime dateTime = new DateTime(fromDate);
    return dateTime.plusDays(days).toDate();
}

@Test
public void test() throws ParseException {
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd");
    Date fromDate = sdf.parse("2014-06-30");

    Date toDate = DateUtil.addDaysToDate(fromDate, 1);
    assertEquals(sdf.parse("2014-07-01"), toDate);
}

You need to consult the API Docs and ensure that the format you are using is correct for the data you are parsing...

Change yyyy-mm-dd to yyyy-MM-dd

mm is used for minutes
