Writting an Apex Class

Please help me write a test class for an apex trigger that sends an email when a contact is created.
 
trigger EmailContact on Contact (after insert) {
List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage> emailList= new List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage>();
EmailTemplate emailTemplate = [Select Id,Subject,Description,HtmlValue,DeveloperName,Body from EmailTemplate where name='Contract Signed Thank you'];
for(Contact conObj:Trigger.new){
if (conObj.Email != null) {
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mail = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
mail.setTargetObjectId(conObj.Id);
mail.setSenderDisplayName('System Administrator');
mail.setUseSignature(false);
mail.setBccSender(false);
mail.setSaveAsActivity(true);
mail.setTemplateID(emailTemplate.Id);
mail.toAddresses = new String[]{conObj.Email};
emailList.add(mail);
}
}
if(emailList.size()>0){
Messaging.SendEmailResult[] results = Messaging.sendEmail(emailList);
if (results[0].success)
{
System.debug('The email was sent successfully.');
} else {
System.debug('The email failed to send: '+ results[0].errors[0].message);
}
}
}


 
This is what i have so far. i get an error that lines 9&15 are missing ','
@isTest private class EmailContactTestClass { static testMethod void validateEmailContact() { Contact c = new Contact(LastName='Test',Email='test@test.org'); System.debug(c.LastName); insert c; System.assertEquals(0, Limits.getEmailInvocations(); c = [SELECT id FROM Contact WHERE LastName ='Test' limit 1]; System.assertEquals(1, Limits.getEmailInvocations(); } }

Hi,

The closing parenthesis is missing in System.assertEquals(1, Limits.getEmailInvocations() at both the places because of that you are getting compile-time error.

Try this 

@isTest private class EmailContactTestClass {
    static testMethod void validateEmailContact() { 
        Contact c = new Contact(LastName='Test',Email='test@test.org'); 
        System.debug(c.LastName); 
        insert c; 
        System.assertEquals(0, Limits.getEmailInvocations()); 
        c = [SELECT id FROM Contact WHERE LastName ='Test' limit 1]; 
        System.assertEquals(1, Limits.getEmailInvocations()); 
    } 
}

Kindly mark as best answer if it helps.


Thanks

Cyndie,

As shubam said, you missed the closing parenthesis is missing in System.assertEquals(1, Limits.getEmailInvocations() at both the places because of that you are getting compile-time error.

Try with below code you will get the 100% coverage.
 
@isTest private class EmailContactTestClass { 
    static testMethod void validateEmailContact() { 
        Contact c = new Contact(LastName='Test',Email='test@test.org'); 
        System.debug(c.LastName); 
        insert c;  
       System.assertEquals(1, Limits.getEmailInvocations()); 
              }
   }

If this helps, Please mark it as best answer.

Thanks!!​​​​​​​
