Nothing has changed in my environment or in my apex class and Vforce pages. Any help or suggestions welcome.

I spent about two days to fix the similar error. May be my experience will help somebody.


 


In my case many Apex classes finished long time ago suddenly began to fail the tests. The errors in IDE were with the same text "Type is not visible: test" and were located at the headers of some methods, not at certain lines. I suspect even new SFDC release, which took place some days before.


 


The reason turned out simple but rather hard-to-detect. Some days ago I created new class with unoriginal name Test. And in wrong methods there are lines like


 


 


...
Test.setCurrentPageReference(Page.SomePage);
...


 


I believe the situation got obvious. I removed my class with name Test and the problem disappeared.


 


 


I suppose it's not very good behavior of Apex itself in this situtation (which is rather common on my mind). First, why Apex let create class with the name of an existing system class? The second, it would be much better lo locate error directly at line like in my example above, not at header of a class. And third, the error message isn't very verbose. Yes, I understood it but only after having found the error.

I suspect that class `Test` was transfered into class `System`. Use System.Test.method(). It works.
