deploy to production trigger can't access custom settings

In my trigger and global classes when I try to retreive values from my public custom setting I get a System.NullPointerException.  This occurs when I try to deploy to production because it needs those values in order to do some logic.

How do I get around this?

Hi Tena,

Are you facing this issue in Test Class while deploying ?


Thanks,
Himanshu

Yes only an issue when I deploy to production and I do have SeeAllData=true.  However if I hard code the values it works fine but once I use the custom settings it doesn't deploy.  It does work when I run the test Classes in the Sandbox and in use of the functionality.

You would need to create a custom setting record in the Test class, just as we create records for object in test class. That should solve the problem.

hmmm.. Strange it should work with SeeAllData=true, Try to degrade the test class version to API version 23.0. second, can you post your code? so that we can catch any error if it exist there. I am not questioning you coding skills but sometimes it happens that as developer we miss small problem.

SeeAllData did work it was just an issue with a test class that I wasn't aware of using the functionality that I changed.  I was able to create the setting just like Shailesh said and it worked perfectly.  I guess I wasn't aware you had to do that when not using SeeAllData.  

Thanks !!
