Trailhead challenge SOSL
Hi,
I'm stuck on this trailhead challenge.
Here's the link of the challenge page:
https://developer.salesforce.com/trailhead/force_com_programmatic_beginner/apex_database/apex_database_sosl#challenge
and this is the error message that appears in red:
Challenge not yet complete... here's what's wrong:
Executing the 'searchContactsAndLeads' method failed. Either the method does not exist, is not static, or does not return the expected search results.
Here is my class:
//The apex class in public domain
public class ContactAndLeadSearch {
//public static method that takes a String parameter
public static SObject[] searchContactsAndLeads(String input) {
//Create list of two lists, one for Contacts and the second for Leads
List<List<SObject>> searchResults = [FIND :input
IN NAME FIELDS
RETURNING Contact(Name), Lead(Name)];
//Place list of contacts at position 1 and leads at 2
Contact[] searchContacts = (Contact[])searchResults[0];
Lead[] searchLeads = (Lead[])searchResults[1];
//return the two lists - I think this is where the problem is.
return searchContacts;
return searchLeads;
}
}
After fiddling around a little I have managed to get to the stage where no problems appear in the Problems tab in developer console. But I suspect the code would only execute up to first return method on second last line 'return searchContacts;'
thanks

You can simply create a list of sObject and get Lead and Conact in one list and return that list..
P.S. If my answer helps you to solve your problem please mark it as best answer. It will help other to find best answer.

You would need to have return type List<List< SObject>> . Also the last part of questions says - "find any contact or lead that matches the string as part of either the first or last name and then return those records." . You would need to place a criteria for the search on last and first names of contact and lead. I'm thinking following code might workout -
public class ContactAndLeadSearch {
public static List<List<SObject>> searchContactsAndLeads(String name){
List<List<sObject>> conLeadLists = [FIND :name IN ALL FIELDS RETURNING Contact(FirstName,LastName WHERE FirstName=:name or LastName=:name),Lead(FirstName,LastName WHERE FirstName=:name or LastName=:name) ];
Contact[] searchContacts = (Contact[])conLeadLists[0];
Lead[] searchLeads = (Lead[])conLeadLists[1];
System.debug('Found the following contacts.');
for (Contact c : searchContacts) {
System.debug(c.LastName + ', ' + c.FirstName);
}
for (Lead le : searchLeads) {
System.debug(le.LastName + ', ' + le.FirstName);
}
return conLeadLists;
}
}
