I am trying to create a bit of Apex code that will loop through accounts, find the associated contacts and then loop through the contacts to get their names. I'm not having much luck, but has anyone done this before and knows how to do it?
public String strCaseId = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('id'); public String strClosingComments {get; set;} public Case objCancelCase {get; set;} public List<CaseComment> objCancelCaseCommentList {get; set;}
public CancelCase(ApexPages.StandardController controller) { strClosingComments =''; objCancelCaseCommentList = [Select Id, ParentId, IsPublished, CommentBody, CreatedById, CreatedDate, SystemModstamp, LastModifiedDate, LastModifiedById, IsDeleted, ConnectionReceivedId, ConnectionSentId From CaseComment where ParentId =:strCaseId ]; }
public List<SelectOption> getStatus(){ List<SelectOption> options = new List<SelectOption>(); Schema.DescribeFieldResult fieldResult = Case.Status.getDescribe(); options.add(new SelectOption('Cancelled', 'Cancelled')); return options; }
public PageReference save() {
PageReference createCancelCase; try{ if(strClosingComments==null || strClosingComments==''){ ApexPages.addMessage(new ApexPages.message(ApexPages.severity.error,'You must enter Comments')); return null; }
//strCaseId Case caseBeingCancelled = [Select Status From Case where Id=:strCaseId]; caseBeingCancelled.Status = 'Cancelled'; update caseBeingCancelled;
createCancelCase = new PageReference('/'+strCaseId); createCancelCase.setRedirect(TRUE);
I have built a trigger on an object that updates fields on a related object. This related object has many validation rules in place that are causing issues in building test data in my test class for this trigger. My current approach is to create the needed test data in the correct manner to allow the validation rules to pass. However, this means that if these rules change in the future, the test class might likewise also need to be updated. In an effort to produce development that is low-maintainence in nature, flexible, and adaptable to changes, I would prefer to not use this approach.
Does anyone have any best practices or guidance on ways to write APEX tests that would remove the dependence on the validation rules? The way I see it, the validation rules shouldn't cause my APEX tests to fail, as they would not indicate any defects in the APEX code itself, but the test data being generated. Therefore, should we exclude these rules and leave the testing of them to System or Functional User testing?
The only solution I have come up with so far is to create a hidden "isTest" checkbox on the object with the validation rules. This check box would be used in the rules to exclude records having this flag True. This flag would only get set by my test class, and therefor circumvent the rules. I'm sure there is some flaw in this approach that I am not thinking of, but am not sure.
