System.NullPointerException: Attempt to de-reference a null object on line 33

Hi Everyone,

Looking for some help on how to fix this test class and code coverage issue as I am getting System.NullPointerException: Attempt to de-reference a null object on line 33.

Apex Class:
  
public class MqlService {
    public void setMqlDate(List<sObject> newRecords, Map<Id, sObject> oldRecordsById) {
        List<sObject> records = getOpenRecords(newRecords, oldRecordsById);
        if (records.isEmpty()) {
            return;
        }
        
        BusinessHours hours = [select id from BusinessHours where name = 'MQL Hours'];
        for (sObject record : records) {
            // using this BusinessHours method will set the time to NOW if it is within the business hours
            // otherwise it will set the time to the time the business hours start next
            record.put('Mql_Date__c', BusinessHours.nextStartDate(hours.id, TimeUtils.getNow()));
        }
    }
    
    // returns a list of records that are either inserted as 'Open', or updated to 'Open'
    private List<sObject> getOpenRecords(List<sObject> newRecords, Map<Id, sObject> oldRecordsById) {
        List<sObject> filteredRecords = new List<sObject>();
        for (sObject newRecord : newRecords) {
            if (!recordIsOpen(newRecord)) {
                continue;
            }
            
            if (isInsert(newRecord, oldRecordsById)) {
                filteredRecords.add(newRecord);
                continue;
            }
            
            if (oldRecordsById != null) {
                sObject oldRecord = oldRecordsById.get((Id)newRecord.get('id'));                
                if (oldRecord != null && !recordIsOpen(oldRecord)) {
                    filteredRecords.add(newRecord);                    
                }
            }
        }
        
        return filteredRecords;
    }
    
    private boolean isInsert(sObject newRecord, Map<Id, sObject> oldRecordsById) {
        return oldRecordsById == null || !oldRecordsById.containsKey((Id)newRecord.get('id'));
    }
                
    private boolean recordIsOpen(sObject record) {
        if (record.getSObjectType() == Lead.getSObjectType()) {
            return record.get('Status') == 'Open';
        } else if (record.getSObjectType() == Contact.getSObjectType()) {
            return record.get('Lead_Status__c') == 'Open';
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    }      
}

Test Class:
  
@isTest
public class MqlServiceTest {
    public static testMethod void testSetMqlDate() {
        // retrieve business hours
        BusinessHours hours = [select id from BusinessHours where name = 'MQL Hours'];
        
        // account for contact
        Account account = new Account(name = 'test');
        insert account;

		// lead / contact to update as Open
		Lead updateLead = new Lead(lastName = 'test', company = 'test', email = 'test@test.com', status = 'Pre-MQL');
        Contact updateContact = new Contact(lastName = 'test', accountId = account.id, lead_status__c = 'Pre-MQL');
        insert new List<sObject>{updateLead, updateContact};
            
        // update lead and contact
        updateLead.status = 'Open';
        updateContact.lead_status__c = 'Open';
            
        // lead / contact to insert as Open
        Lead insertLead = new Lead(lastName = 'test', company = 'test', email = 'test@test.com', status = 'Open');
        Contact insertContact = new Contact(lastName = 'test', accountId = account.id, lead_status__c = 'Open');            
            
        // capture the current time to check against business hours, set the time in time utils
        TimeUtils.setNow(Datetime.now());            
        
        // upsert list of leads / contacts to insert / update
        upsert new List<Lead>{insertLead, updateLead};
        upsert new List<Contact>{insertContact, updateContact};
        
        // assert the hour / minutes are correct, since the BusinessHours.nextStartDate doesn't use seconds
        for (Lead lead : [select mql_date__c from lead]) {
        	system.assertEquals(BusinessHours.nextStartDate(hours.id, TimeUtils.getNow()).hour(), lead.mql_date__c.hour());
        	system.assertEquals(BusinessHours.nextStartDate(hours.id, TimeUtils.getNow()).minute(), lead.mql_date__c.minute());            
        }
        
        for (Contact contact : [select mql_date__c from contact]) {
        	system.assertEquals(BusinessHours.nextStartDate(hours.id, TimeUtils.getNow()).hour(), contact.mql_date__c.hour());
        	system.assertEquals(BusinessHours.nextStartDate(hours.id, TimeUtils.getNow()).minute(), contact.mql_date__c.minute());            
        }
    }
}

Because of line 33 assert method filing calls is not getting any code coverage as well.

Thank you for your help. ​​​​​​​

Hi Haseeb,
try following Test Class 
@isTest
public class MqlServiceTest {
    public static testMethod void testSetMqlDate() {
        // retrieve business hours
       MqlService MS = new MqlService();
       
        List<sObject> lstSobject = new List<sObject>();
        Map<Id, sObject> oldRecordsById = new Map<Id, sObject> ();
        
        BusinessHours hours = [select id from BusinessHours where name = 'MQL Hours'];
        
        // account for contact
        Account account = new Account(name = 'test');
        insert account;

		// lead / contact to update as Open
		Lead updateLead = new Lead(lastName = 'test', company = 'test', email = 'test@test.com', status = 'Open - Not Contacted');
        Contact updateContact = new Contact(lastName = 'test', accountId = account.id ,lead_status__c = 'Open');
         lstSobject.add(updateLead);
        lstSobject.add(updateContact);
        insert lstSobject; 
        MS.setMqlDate(lstSobject,null);
        oldRecordsById.put(updateLead.Id, updateLead);
        oldRecordsById.put(updateContact.Id, updateContact);
        MS.setMqlDate(lstSobject,oldRecordsById);
         
        
    }
}

In my org this test class coverage is 92%. try this.
let me know, if it's helps you and marking best of this so that it could helps to others.
Thank You

hi Haseeb,
I review your test class and find out what is actual issue.
yes, you are right , assert method is failing because there is no BusinessHours  with this name MQL Hours so error is generating. 
first of all you try following query in query Editor .
select id,Name from BusinessHours where name = 'MQL Hours' Limit 1

if you are getting 0 records then create New Business Hours Record With this Name MQL Hours help with following Links.
https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=customize_supporthours.htm&type=5
and then replace following test class with your test class.
 

@isTest
public class MqlServiceTest {
    public static testMethod void testSetMqlDate() {
        // retrieve business hours
        BusinessHours hours = [select id from BusinessHours where name = 'MQL Hours' limit 1];
        
        // account for contact
        Account account = new Account(name = 'test');
        insert account;

		// lead / contact to update as Open
		Lead updateLead = new Lead(lastName = 'test', company = 'test', email = 'test@test.com', status = 'Pre-MQL');
        Contact updateContact = new Contact(lastName = 'test', accountId = account.id, lead_status__c = 'Pre-MQL');
        insert new List<sObject>{updateLead, updateContact};
            
        // update lead and contact
        updateLead.status = 'Open';
        updateContact.lead_status__c = 'Open';
            
        // lead / contact to insert as Open
        Lead insertLead = new Lead(lastName = 'test', company = 'test', email = 'test@test.com', status = 'Open');
        Contact insertContact = new Contact(lastName = 'test', accountId = account.id, lead_status__c = 'Open');            
            
        // capture the current time to check against business hours, set the time in time utils
        TimeUtils.setNow(Datetime.now());            
        
        // upsert list of leads / contacts to insert / update
        upsert new List<Lead>{insertLead, updateLead};
        upsert new List<Contact>{insertContact, updateContact};
        
        // assert the hour / minutes are correct, since the BusinessHours.nextStartDate doesn't use seconds
        for (Lead lead : [select mql_date__c from lead]) {
        	system.assertEquals(BusinessHours.nextStartDate(hours.id, TimeUtils.getNow()).hour(), lead.mql_date__c.hour());
        	system.assertEquals(BusinessHours.nextStartDate(hours.id, TimeUtils.getNow()).minute(), lead.mql_date__c.minute());            
        }
        
        for (Contact contact : [select mql_date__c from contact]) {
        	system.assertEquals(BusinessHours.nextStartDate(hours.id, TimeUtils.getNow()).hour(), contact.mql_date__c.hour());
        	system.assertEquals(BusinessHours.nextStartDate(hours.id, TimeUtils.getNow()).minute(), contact.mql_date__c.minute());            
        }
    }
}
let me know if it's helps you and close your query marking as solved.
Thank You

Hi Veer,

I do have Business hours with the name 'MQL Hours'  and I am getting results even with or without limit 1. 

User-added image

This seems to something else even I change the query I am still getting the same exception. can you please check thank you so much for your help on this. 
Haseeb Ahmad 9Haseeb Ahmad 9
Hi Veer,

I changed the query on line 32 on test class to:

select mql_date__c from lead where mql_date__c != Null limit 1

and now I am not getting Nullpointer exception anymore and the test is passing but code coverage is still 0%,

do you know what is the issue now?

Hi Veer,

Happy New Year. 

Thank you so much, I got 95% coverage but I realized that this was been called from a lead trigger which I removed few calls go due to getting 

System.AsyncException: Rate Limiting Exception : AsyncApexExecutions Limit exceeded.

Now I am trying to fix that lead trigger and its trigger handler calls on my trigger I am getting 66% 

Trigger: 
  
trigger LeadTrigger on Lead (before insert, after insert, before update, after update) {
    try{
        TriggerHandler handler = new LeadTriggerHandler(Trigger.new, Trigger.newMap, Trigger.oldMap);
        
        if (Trigger.isBefore) {
            if (Trigger.isInsert) {
                handler.executeBeforeInsert();
            }
            
            if (Trigger.isUpdate) {
                handler.executeBeforeUpdate();            
            }
        }
        
        if (Trigger.isAfter) {
            if (Trigger.isInsert) {
                handler.executeAfterInsert();
            }
            
            if (Trigger.isUpdate) {
                handler.executeAfterUpdate();            
            }
        }
    }
    catch(Exception ex){
        DiagnosticService.DebugException(ex);
        DiagnosticService.PopAll();
    }
}

and on trigger handler 43% 
  
public class LeadTriggerHandler extends TriggerHandler {

    // services
    private final static MqlService mqlService = new MqlService();
    private static boolean isFirstTime = true;
     
    
    // new leads, new map, old map
    private final List<Lead> newLeads;
    private final Map<Id, Lead> newLeadsById;
    private final Map<Id, Lead> oldLeadsById;     
    
    // constructor
    public LeadTriggerHandler(List<sObject> newLeads, Map<Id, sObject> newLeadsById, Map<Id, sObject> oldLeadsById) {
        super();
        this.newLeads = (List<Lead>) newLeads;
        this.newLeadsById = (Map<Id, Lead>)newLeadsById;
        this.oldLeadsById = (Map<Id, Lead>)oldLeadsById;    
    }
    
    public override void executeBeforeInsert() {
        DiagnosticService.push('lead executeBeforeInsert');        

        mqlService.setMqlDate(newLeads, oldLeadsById);
            
        DiagnosticService.pop();                   
    }
    
    public override void executeAfterInsert() {     
        DiagnosticService.push('lead executeAfterInsert');              
        DiagnosticService.pop();
    }
    
    public override void executeBeforeUpdate() {
        DiagnosticService.push('lead executeBeforeUpdate');       
        mqlService.setMqlDate(newLeads, oldLeadsById);              
        
        DiagnosticService.pop();
    }
    
    public override void executeAfterUpdate() {
       if (isFirstTime){
            isFirstTime = false;
            DiagnosticService.push('lead executeAfterUpdate');                   
            DiagnosticService.pop();
       }

    }
    
    public override void executeBeforeDelete() {
        DiagnosticService.push('lead executeBeforeDelete');              

        DiagnosticService.pop();
    }
    
    public override void executeAfterDelete() {
        DiagnosticService.push('lead executeAfterDelete');              

        DiagnosticService.pop();
    }
    
    public override void executeAfterUndelete() {
        DiagnosticService.push('lead executeBeforeInsert');                      
        
        DiagnosticService.pop();
    }
}

I am trying to remove before/After delete and undelete lines from the trigger handler because those lines not getting any coverage or if you would help me to restore coverage for these 2 as well, that would be great, really appreciate your help on this, thank you.
