Gary Payne Error with DEV401 Apex Trigger
I am working through the Dev401 Implementing Business Processes Exercise Guide 4-5: Create Dynamic Approval Processes, Item 7. The Apex Trigger provided in the downloaded zip file contains an error and will not save. Following is the Trigger:
trigger PositionApprovalTrigger on Position__c (before insert, before update) {
PositionApproval.setPositionApprovers(Trigger.new);
}
The error received is: "Error: Compile Error: Variable does not exist: PositionApproval at line 2 column 5".
Three custom fields (Approve_1, Approver_2, and Approver_3) are created in the custom object Positions__c, but there is no "PositionApproval" field. What is needed to correct the Trigger so I can complete this training exercise? I am not a coder, just an admin trying to become a developer.

PositionApproval is the apex class called in the trigger code. You have to first create a apex class PositionApproval with the static method setPositionApprovers then you have to create/save this trigger code. Check in the zip file do you have any other class file
Gary PayneThank You for the quick reply! Creating the Apex Class first was helpful.
