Rethinkdb query for data between 2 dates - rethinkdb

Question

I would like to run a query that gets all the documents that have a lastUpdateDate from a date provided until today.
lastUpdateDated is defined like
lastUpdateDate = new Date() -> Tue Jan 19 2016 20:45:32 GMT+00:00
The following works in the RethinkDB Admin console
r.db('water').table('ground_water').filter(function (test) {
return test("lastUpdateDate").during(r.time(2015,1,1, 'Z'), r.now().date())
});
But here is the actual code (I have to do some processing on the date)
.table('ground_support_water_tests')
.filter(function(test) {
return test("lastUpdateDate").during(
r.time(2016,1,19, 'Z'),
r.now().date())
})
.run()
.then((results) => {
console.log(results);
done(null, results);
})
.catch((err) => {console.log(err); });
This returns no errors or results. I obviously like to not hardcode the date there so I have some logic to make a new r.time(yyyy,dd,mm) but that gives me the same results as this hardcoded one.

I think your query may contains some pitfalls.
First, I suggest you add rightBound: "closed" to option. Because you are comparing on date() and you don't care about time at all.
Second, I suggest you to change test("lastUpdateDate") -> test("lastUpdateDate").date() because you're removing time with date and it become Wed Jan 20 2016 00:00:00 GMT+00:00 while as your test("lastUpdateDate") is Wed Jan 20 2016 18:00:00 GMT+00:00 for example.
So let's try this:
.table('ground_support_water_tests')
.filter(function(test) {
return test("lastUpdateDate").date().during(
r.time(2016,1,19, 'Z'),
r.now().date())
}, {rightBound: "closed"})
.run()
.then((results) => {
console.log(results);
done(null, results);
})
.catch((err) => {console.log(err); });
Update:
I tried using NodeJS with official drive:
var r = require('rethinkdb')
r.connect().then(function(conn) {
r.table('t')
.filter((test) => {
return test("lastUpdateDate").date().during(r.time(2015,1,1, 'Z'), r.now().date(), {rightBound: "closed"})
})
.run(conn)
.then((cursor) => { return cursor.toArray() })
.then((data) => { console.log(data) })
})
On this date set:
[{
"id": "4917c8a1-1639-400c-964c-458d58b5bfcc" ,
"lastUpdateDate": Wed Jan 20 2016 21:12:51 GMT+00:00
}]
The query returns properly data.
