Assign value to ProfileId?

Hello!  I'm very new to Apex and programming in general.

 

I'm creating a test class, but every time I run the test I get an error with my ProfileID.  I tried just taking it out, but it's a required field.  I tried assigning a random value to it directly (ie: u.ProfileID = '00Ee0000000CodE';)  but that gives me an error that the ID is invalid.  So I'm assuming I need to reference the ID.  I have no idea how to do that however, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Here is my code.

@isTest
private class UserContactTest {
    testmethod static void userCreationTest(){
        User u = new User();
        u.Firstname = 'mike';
        u.LastName = 'Smith';
        u.email = 'msmith@company.com';
        u.Alias = 'alias';
        u.CommunityNickname = 'commnick';
        u.EmailEncodingKey = 'UTF-8';
        u.Username = 'msmith@company.com';
        u.TimeZoneSidKey = 'America/Denver';
        u.LocaleSidKey = 'en_US';
        u.EmailEncodingKey = 'UTF-8';
        u.LanguageLocaleKey = 'en_US';
        //u.ProfileId = [SELECT id FROM ]; //not really sure what I'm doing here
        insert u;
    }
}

Daniel, 

Try this: 
u.ProfileId = [Select Id from Profile where Name = 'System Administrator'].Id;

Hope that helps!

Hi Daniel, 

Are you creating user for Saleforce Internal or Community user?

If it's for Internal Salesforce User then CommunityNickname is not required.

Hope below code will help you.
  
@isTest
private class UserContactTest {
    testmethod static void userCreationTest(){
        User u = new User();
        u.Firstname = 'mike';
        u.LastName = 'Smith';
        u.email = 'msmith@company.com';
        u.Alias = 'alias';
        u.EmailEncodingKey = 'UTF-8';
        u.Username = 'msmith@company.com';
        u.TimeZoneSidKey = 'America/Denver';
        u.LocaleSidKey = 'en_US';
        u.EmailEncodingKey = 'UTF-8';
        u.LanguageLocaleKey = 'en_US';
        u.ProfileId = [Select Id from Profile where Name = 'System Administrator'].Id;
        insert u;
    }
}


Thanks,

John,

I've run into another error, but your suggested code worked perfectly!  Thank you!
