Hi all,

I have a simple trigger on the Contract object designed to create a new Event when the contract status is updated to 'Activated'. 
However, the Events do not seem to be created by my trigger. I cannot pinpoint the reason why these Events are not being properly created.

Here is the error generated by my test class: System.AssertException: Assertion Failed: Expected: 0, Actual: 4
Can anyone help?

Trigger code:

trigger StaggeredEventCreation on Contract(before update){
    
    //All contract records which activated the trigger
    List<Contract> c = Trigger.new;
    
    //Only update those records which had a status change to 'Activated'
    for (Contract temp : c){
        if (temp.Status == 'Activated' && temp.Status != Trigger.oldMap.get(temp.ID).Status){
            Event e1 = new Event(OwnerId = '', 
                                 StartDateTime = Datetime.Now(), EndDateTime = Datetime.Now() + 7, Subject = 'Initial Followup');
            Event e2 = new Event(OwnerId = '', 
                                 StartDateTime = Datetime.Now() + 30, EndDateTime = Datetime.Now() + 37, Subject = '30-Day Followup');
            Event e3 = new Event(OwnerId = '', 
                                 StartDateTime = Datetime.Now() + 60, EndDateTime = Datetime.Now() + 67, Subject = '60-Day Followup');
            Event e4 = new Event(OwnerId = '', 
                                 StartDateTime = Datetime.Now() + 90, EndDateTime = Datetime.Now() + 97, Subject = '90-Day Followup');
        }
    }

Apex test class code:

@isTest
private class StaggeredEventCreationTest{
    
    @isTest static void validateStaggeredEventCreation(){
        
        Contract c = new Contract(AccountId = '', StartDate = Date.today(),
                                  ContractTerm = 12, Status = 'Draft');
        insert c;
        
        
        c.Status = 'Activated';
        update c;
        
        Integer eventCount = [SELECT count() FROM Event];
        
        System.assertEquals(eventCount, 4);
    }
}
