Unit Test - creating and assigning a territory to an account

Can anyone point me to an example of how to create and assign a territory manually to an account in a unit test?  I have created an account in my unit test, but I also need to manually assign a territory to the account.  So, I need to create the territory, the userTerritory and user record that will be assigned to the account.

 

How do you go about doing this in a unit test.  It doesn't appear you can perform DML on the Territory and UserTerritory objects in a unit test? 

 

Can anyone provide some help on how to accomplish this in a unit test?

 

Thanks.

Hi,

 

Any way you can post a code sample? I've run across the problem of not being able to perform DML on certain objects in a test environment. Usually, I just do a check on Test.IsRunningTest() when doing DML on these objects and resort to assigning a fake value just for testing.

 

I had this problem writing test code for classes that interact with the PartnerNetworkConnection and PartnerNetworkRecordConnection objects.

I've temporarily gotten around the issue by querying for an active user that is already assigned to a specific territory.  I'd prefer not to do this and instead create a testUser, and assign the testUser to a UserTerritory.  From what I've found, you cannot run a DML statement on the UserTerritory object.

 

Does anyone know of a way to perform a DML operation on the UserTerritory object?  What I want to do is create a testUser record and then assign the testUser to an existing Territory by inserting a UserTerritory record within a unit test.  Is this at all possible?

 

I cannot find a way to do it.

 

Thanks.

Hello bohemianguy100,

Are you trying to insert Territory2Type and Territory2Model records in Test class ? You don't need to insert records, you can directly query it in test class. It is accessible in test classes.
Eg -  list<Territory2Type> lstterritoryType   = [SELECT id, DeveloperName from Territory2Type where  DeveloperName = 'Territory'];
Note : DML is not allowed for Territory2Type but you can perform DML on Territory2Model.

Eg : Territory2Model terrModel = new Territory2Model(DeveloperName='ModelName', Name='Name');
insert terrModel ;

Then insert territory as:
 Territory2 objTerr = new Territory2(DeveloperName = 'TestTerritory', Territory2ModelId=terrModel.Id, Name='TestTerritory',  Territory2TypeId=terriType[0].Id);
 insert objTerr;

Please mark as best if this helps you.


Thanks,
Smriti
