Hello,

I have a validation rule that requires the BillingState field to be populated for an Account to be created.  I'm trying to deploy a test class that creates test Account records, and when I validate the change set, it fails, indicating that the validation rule was set off.  The odd thing is that I'm populating the BillingState field of the test Account records in the test class, so I can't figure out what the validation rule is still being set off.  Any thoughts as to why this might be happening?

The error condition formula for my validation rule is ISBLANK(BillingState), and here's my test class:

@isTest
private class testSchoolImpLink {

static testMethod void myTest() {

//Insert Accounts
List<Account> accounts = new List<Account>();
for(Integer i=0; i<5; i++){
Account a = new Account(Name = 'Test Account' + i, BillingState = 'TX');
accounts.add(a);

}
insert accounts;

//Insert an Opportunity
Opportunity o = new Opportunity(Name = 'Test Opportunity', StageName = 'Lead', CloseDate = date.newInstance(2011, 5, 2));
insert o;

//Get accounts back
List<Account> new_accounts = [SELECT id FROM Account];
Opportunity opp = [SELECT id FROM Opportunity][0];

//Insert School Implementations
List<School_Implementation__c> school_imps = new List<School_Implementation__c>();
for(Integer i=0; i<5; i++){
School_Implementation__c s = new School_Implementation__c(Name = 'Test School Implementation', Enrollment_Opportunity__c = opp.id, School_Implementation_Status__c = 'Active', School__c = new_accounts[i].id);
school_imps.add(s);
}
//Start the test
test.startTest();

insert school_imps;

//Stop the test
test.stopTest();

//Query database for new Accounts
List<Account> newest_accounts = [SELECT id, Most_Recent_School_Implementation__c, BillingState FROM Account];

//For each account, make sure that Current School Implementation is correct
for(Account a : newest_accounts){
System.assert(a.Most_Recent_School_Implementation__c != null);
}
}
}
