Hello,

I am required to edit a class which was created sometime ago by another developer.  In making my changes I've noted the previous developer had only provided a small % of test code coverage for the class therefore I wish to remediate this also.

if I try to run test coverage for one of the functions in the class I receive an error as follows "Future method cannot be called from a future method: "

The function therefore has an "@future" annotation before it's declaration.  To avoid this error I thought a possible workaround might be to check if I am executing the function from a test class & if so then to not set the "@future" annotation if so.

I would therefore use something like the following 

public class OppRegAsyncLead{          

  if (! TesterMethod.getInTestFlag()){       

    @future   

  }     

  public static void submitChildLeads(){   

     //Enter function logic here     

  }

  static testMethod void OppRegAsyncLeadTest(){     

    boolean inTest = true;   

    TesterMethod.setInTestFlag(inTest);    

    /Enter test class logic here 

  }

}

I get an error however as follows  "
Error: Compile Error: expecting right curly bracket, found 'if' at line 3 column 4"

This I guess is because I have an if statement directly after the class definition & do not have it within a method/function.

Does anyone know of a way I could possibly implement this workaround. I understand I should place my test method in a separate class & will do so once I know this workaround will work, however that is the step I wish to achieve first. Is there a way therefore to avoid setting a method as a future method for test class purposes?

Thanking you in advance.
