Wylie Peach Simple Unit Test on Before Trigger that Concatenates Fields
Hi Everyone,
I wrote a simple trigger that concatenates some fields into a key__c, and now I am trying to test it. I am having trouble getting it to return the tested inputs. Also, I was thinking of doing some bulk testing as well, should I write a loop? Here is what I have so far:

I wrote a simple trigger that concatenates some fields into a key__c, and now I am trying to test it. I am having trouble getting it to return the tested inputs. Also, I was thinking of doing some bulk testing as well, should I write a loop? Here is what I have so far:
Trigger
trigger Composite_Key on Purchases__c (before insert, before update) {
if(Trigger.isBefore)
{
for(Purchases__c purchase : trigger.new)
{
String eventName = String.isBlank(purchase.Event_name__c)?'':purchase.Event_name__c+'-';
String section = String.isBlank(purchase.section__c)?'':purchase.section__c+'-';
String row = String.isBlank(purchase.row__c)?'':purchase.row__c+'-';
String seat = String.isBlank(String.valueOf(purchase.seat__c))?'':String.valueOf(purchase.seat__c)+'-';
String numseats = String.isBlank(String.valueOf(purchase.number_of_seats__c))?'':String.valueOf(purchase.number_of_seats__c)+'-';
String adddatetime = String.isBlank(String.valueOf(purchase.add_datetime__c))?'':String.valueOf(purchase.add_datetime__c);
purchase.Key__c = eventName + section + row + seat + numseats + adddatetime;
}
}
}
Test so far
@isTest
private class CompositeKeyTest {
static testMethod void testPurchase() {
//create a purchase to fire the trigger
Purchases__c purchase = new Purchases__c(Event_name__c = 'test', section__c='test',row__c='test', seat__c=1,number_of_seats__c='test',add_datetime__c='test');
insert purchase;
System.Assert(purchase.Key__c=='testtesttest1testtest');
}
}
Try the beloe class:
@isTest
private class CompositeKeyTest {
static testMethod void testPurchase() {
//create a purchase to fire the trigger
Purchases__c purchase = new Purchases__c(Event_name__c = 'test', section__c='test',row__c='test', seat__c=1,number_of_seats__c='test',add_datetime__c='test');
insert purchase;
System.assertEquals('testtesttest1testtest',purchase.Key__c,'Key is not Valid');
}
static testMethod void testbulkPurchase() {
//create a purchase to fire the trigger
List<Purchases__c> purchaseList = new List<Purchases__c>();
for(Integer i=0 ; i < 10 ; i++ )
{
Purchases__c purchaserec = new Purchases__c(Event_name__c = 'test', section__c='test',row__c='test', seat__c= i+1 ,number_of_seats__c='test',add_datetime__c='test');
purchaseList.add(purchaserec);
}
insert purchaseList;
System.assertEquals('testtesttest5testtest',purchaseList[4].Key__c,'Key is not Valid');
}
}

Could you please post the data type of all the fields you have refered in trigger.
Try the beloe class:
@isTest
private class CompositeKeyTest {
static testMethod void testPurchase() {
//create a purchase to fire the trigger
Purchases__c purchase = new Purchases__c(Event_name__c = 'test', section__c='test',row__c='test', seat__c=1,number_of_seats__c='test',add_datetime__c='test');
insert purchase;
System.assertEquals('testtesttest1testtest',purchase.Key__c,'Key is not Valid');
}
static testMethod void testbulkPurchase() {
//create a purchase to fire the trigger
List<Purchases__c> purchaseList = new List<Purchases__c>();
for(Integer i=0 ; i < 10 ; i++ )
{
Purchases__c purchaserec = new Purchases__c(Event_name__c = 'test', section__c='test',row__c='test', seat__c= i+1 ,number_of_seats__c='test',add_datetime__c='test');
purchaseList.add(purchaserec);
}
insert purchaseList;
System.assertEquals('testtesttest5testtest',purchaseList[4].Key__c,'Key is not Valid');
}
}

For clarity, why do you say the 'key is not valid' when it is written correctly in the first method? Also, in the second method, can you explain the logic behind seat__c = i+1, purchaseList[4].Key__c and how the output is 'testtesttest5testtest' ? Just trying to get my head around it. Thanks again :D

I will keep tinkering.
