Exception in thread “main” java.time.temporal.UnsupportedTemporalTypeException Unsupported field ClockHourOfAmPm
I have the following code. When I try to run it, it throws an exception.
LocalDate localDate = LocalDate.now();
DateTimeFormatter dtFormatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MMM-dd hh:mm:ss");
String date = dtFormatter.format(localDate);
Exception:

Accepted Answer
You are using LocalDate in the first line of code, which does not store or provide time. In your formatter, you are using time "yyyy-MMM-dd hh:mm:ss" and that’s why you’re getting the exception.
LocalDate is date-only and is used for things like birthdays e.g. 2007-12-03 but not for representing an time. If you want to use time, use LocalDateTime class instead.
LocalDateTime localDate = LocalDateTime.now(); // fixed: LocalDateTime
DateTimeFormatter dtFormatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MMM-dd hh:mm:ss");
String date = dtFormatter.format(localDate);
System.out.println(date);
