Help needed with Controller Extension

I have a custom object which is a child to the Opportunity object. The custom object is viewed via visualforce page. Sometimes Users need to create payment records for the child object. This is achieved by calling a method on a controller extension. When pressed, the method will automatically create detail records using information in the custom object record. 

I am trying to write a test class that will check the controller is working correctly and that the values copied over from the custom object are correct. I can't figure out how to call the method to create the payments. Can anyone help? 

Here is the test class: 

@isTest                 
public class sipExt_Test {
    public static testMethod void testSIPExtController() {
        
    // Create Opportunity from test utilities class
    List<Opportunity> OppList = testUtilities.createTestOpps(1); 

    // Create the SIP
    bonus_calculator__c bc1 = new bonus_calculator__c(opportunity__c = OppList[0].Id);
    insert bc1;    
        
    PageReference ref = new PageReference('/apex/SIP2?id=' + bc1.Id);
    Test.setCurrentPage(ref);
        
    // Create SIP standard controller, pass it the SIP Record
    ApexPages.StandardController controller = new ApexPages.StandardController(bc1);
        
    // Pass the Controller to the Extension
    sipExt stdController = new sipExt(controller); 
        
    stdController.createPayments();           
  
    // Query for Payments fields
    List <Bonus_Payments__c> bPayList = [SELECT Id FROM Bonus_Payments__c WHERE Bonus_Record__c = :bc1.Id];    
        
        system.debug(bPayList[0].id);                
        
    }
}

well you can.
but I think the problem here after looking a bit more into it is that you do not create any record because sa1_lookup__c is not set for the bonus you created in your test method and other saX_lookup__c fields as well

Hi,

can you share the controller extension code

Hi Jerome, thanks for the reply, Sure thing:

When I query for the bonus payments (at the bottom of the test class), I get an out of bounds error message which suggests that no records have been created.
Jerome LusinchiJerome Lusinchi
in test methods, records are not really created in salesforce, so if you query them, you won't have any result (you get an error).
what you should do is :
put the following line out of your method (as a public variable) in your extension : 
 list<Bonus_Payments__c> PAYList = new List <Bonus_Payments__c>();

then in your test method, you check the values of that list instead of querying the records.

Nice idea - thanks Jerome. I will try that. I thought you could query for test data in the context of your test class? I need to revisit some of the other test classes if that's so. 
Jerome LusinchiJerome Lusinchi
well you can.
but I think the problem here after looking a bit more into it is that you do not create any record because sa1_lookup__c is not set for the bonus you created in your test method and other saX_lookup__c fields as well

That field is populated on the opportunity via the test utilites class, there's a formula field on the SIP object that pulls the data in. Thanks again though. 
Jay16Jay16

You were right! 

I added a tonne of debug statements and then went through the User workflow via the UI. I noticed that the saX_lookup__c were populated as exptected. When I ran the test via the apex test they were null. So I explicitly added the sa1_lookup__c from the test utilities class and ran it again, worked straight away. I wonder if this has something to do with the fact that the fields are updated via formula field maybe. 

Anyway thanks again. Have a great weekend.
