Installed new SDDM theme, time is not showing

Running command to test theme, it loads the theme successfully but the date & time is not showing. It is also not showing if it's applied and rebooted. Command used:

sddm-greeter --test-mode --theme /usr/share/sddm/themes/sweet

Noticed there is error message in console:

sddm-greeter --test-mode --theme /usr/share/sddm/themes/sweet
High-DPI autoscaling Enabled
Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.

}

It seems this is responsible line:
text: Qt.formatDate(timeSource.data["Local"], Qt.DefaultLocaleLongDate)

I have installed sudo pacman -S plasma-framework5, could it be I need to install anything else?
