Custom Validation Exception being triggered when it shouldn't

I think I might be a little bit blind here, because I cannot see why a validation rule should be throwing up an exception.

 

The only thing that I can fathom that would create the error would be if the associated test class was setting an illegal date - i.e. one that is not on the first of the month.

 

However, the only Start Dates set are:

Start_Date__c=date.newinstance(2011, 1, 1)

Start_Date__c=date.newinstance(2011, 7, 1)

which are both on the first of the month!



 

So, first, the error:

Error:Apex trigger ItemandIPISubscriptionLinks caused an unexpected exception, contact your administrator: ItemandIPISubscriptionLinks: execution of AfterUpdate caused by: System.DmlException: Update failed. First exception on row 0 with id a092000000KcY3sAAF; first error: FIELD_CUSTOM_VALIDATION_EXCEPTION, The Start Date must be the first of the month.: [Start_Date__c]: Trigger.ItemandIPISubscriptionLinks: line 223, column 1

 Now the validation rule:

AND (
NOT ( ISBLANK ( Start_Date__c )),
DAY ( Start_Date__c ) > 1
)

 Now the Trigger:

trigger ItemandIPISubscriptionLinks on Item__c (after update, after insert) {

Set<Id> itemIds = new Set<Id>();
Set<Id> eventIds = new Set<Id>();
Set<Id> itemCountIds = new Set<Id>();


//Put the list value ids in the set
if (Trigger.isUpdate){
    for (Integer i = 0; i < Trigger.new.size(); i++){
        if (Trigger.new[i].RecordTypeId == '01220000000AGp1' &&
            ((Trigger.new[i].Probability__c == 100 && Trigger.new[i].Cancelled__c == FALSE 
            && 
            ((Trigger.old[i].Probability__c <> 100 || Trigger.old[i].Cancelled__c <> FALSE)
            || 
            (Trigger.new[i].Start_Date__c <> Trigger.old[i].Start_Date__c ||
            Trigger.new[i].Term__c <> Trigger.old[i].Term__c ||
            Trigger.new[i].Full_Amount2__c <> Trigger.old[i].Full_Amount2__c)))
            
            ||
            
            (Trigger.new[i].Probability__c <> 100 || Trigger.new[i].Cancelled__c <> FALSE) 
            && 
            Trigger.old[i].Probability__c == 100 && Trigger.old[i].Cancelled__c == FALSE)
           )
        {
            itemIds.add(Trigger.new[i].id);
            eventIds.add(Trigger.new[i].Event_Issue__c);
        }
    }
}
if (Trigger.isInsert){
    for (Integer i = 0; i < Trigger.new.size(); i++){
        if (Trigger.new[i].RecordTypeId == '01220000000AGp1' && Trigger.new[i].Probability__c == 100 && Trigger.new[i].Cancelled__c == FALSE) {

The final code included:

if (items.Deal_Date__c.year() < date.today().year()){
            items.Override_Ok__c = TRUE;
        }
    
        if(items.Deal_Date__c.year() == date.today().year() &&
        items.Deal_Date__c.month() < date.today().month()){
            items.Override_Ok__c = TRUE;
        }



This little loop ensures that any other Items that are being picked up are set to Override Ok = TRUE, which means the 'Deal Date' error does not occur.

 

Problem solved!

 

If this isn't clear to anyone, let me know and I will clarify.

UPDATE:

 

After a few attempts at fixing this, I now have the following error:

Error:Apex trigger ItemandIPISubscriptionLinks caused an unexpected exception, contact your administrator: ItemandIPISubscriptionLinks: execution of AfterUpdate caused by: System.DmlException: Update failed. First exception on row 0 with id a092000000KcY3sAAF; first error: FIELD_CUSTOM_VALIDATION_EXCEPTION, The deal date can not be in a prior month.: []: Trigger.ItemandIPISubscriptionLinks: line 223, column 1

 

I.e. It is telling me that the trigger won't work because it is setting the Deal Date to a prior month (which it isn't).

 

I just ran all the tests in our SF org and none of them came up with the same error.

 

STILL CONFUSED!

What is the validation rule that throws this error message? : "The deal date can not be in a prior month."
JayantJayant

Use a system.debug() to check what exactly is being set in the deal date, that can help you out.

Also check the validation condition, may be it's erraneous.
DBManagerDBManager

Thanks for the reply.

 

This is the validation rule:

 

AND(

(AND(

(OR(
YEAR( Deal_Date__c ) < YEAR(Today()),

AND(MONTH(Deal_Date__c ) < MONTH(Today()),
YEAR(Deal_Date__c ) = YEAR(Today()))
)),

(OR( Override_ok__c = false, $UserRole.Name <> "Super User"))
)),

(AND( RecordTypeId <> "01220000000DuQ6", RecordTypeId <> "01220000000DuQp"))
)

 

Rather convoluted, I know, but the deal date set in the class is the system date for today, so this should not cause an error (indeed it doesn't when you run the test itself).
DBManagerDBManager

Thanks for your reply.

 

I am fairly new to Apex and, though I have seen system debug's being used, I still don't know how to use them.

 

This, I suppose, is the time to learn!
DBManagerDBManager

So I added a system debug to the test, deployed it, re-ran it in the live system and it showed that the deal date was: 2011-09-27, which is fine.

 

I re-tested the item and it still gave the same error message.

 

I ran through the validation rule and that's all fine - it should only be triggered if the deal date is in a prior year or prior month of the same year, which the deal date in the test class isn't.

 

So what is triggering this validation rule?

 

Can anyone advise?
DBManagerDBManager

I think I've found the solution to this, but am still working out the nuts and bolts.

 

I think the validation rule is triggered by another item that the trigger is accessing.

 

I.e. the triggering Item passes the validation rule, and the test class passes the validation rule. However, since the trigger accesses and may update other items, one of those items could trigger the validation rule.

 

Which is why the test classes pass and the error cannot be replicated in the test system (as other items have not been created for previous months).

 

When I write the final code that works, I will post it here as a solution (if it works!).
DBManagerDBManager

The final code included:

if (items.Deal_Date__c.year() < date.today().year()){
            items.Override_Ok__c = TRUE;
        }
    
        if(items.Deal_Date__c.year() == date.today().year() &&
        items.Deal_Date__c.month() < date.today().month()){
            items.Override_Ok__c = TRUE;
        }



This little loop ensures that any other Items that are being picked up are set to Override Ok = TRUE, which means the 'Deal Date' error does not occur.

 

Problem solved!

Hi can you please clarify? Does this means that the error might be caused by another record and not the one we are editing?

or you mean another value?

Thank you
DBManagerDBManager

Indeed.

 

When an Item record is updated, and certain field values are changed, the trigger is fired. The trigger then finds the parent of this record, and in turn finds all the Items that are children of that parent (including the original trigger item).

 

In other words, when an Item is updated, the trigger finds its siblings and updates them. If any validation errors are generated by the siblings, then the trigger will not be able to complete, and an error is generated.

 

So, with this trigger, updating one item can generate an error message from another item.

 

Hope that helps.
