Account.Name, ERROR at Row:7: Column:13 Didn't understand relationship 'Account' in field path. If you are attempting to use a custom relationship .... // // please reference your WSDL or the describe call ..

When I try to compile it get the following error:

Account.Name, ERROR at Row:7: Column:13 Didn't understand relationship 'Account' in field patch. If you are attempting to use a custom relationship .... // // please reference your WSDL or the describe call ..

This refers to the following line ....

               List<User> lstUser = [SELECT 
            Id, 
            ContactId,
            Email,
            Username,
            AccountId, 
            Account.Name, 
            Profile.Name,
            FROM User 
            WHERE Id = :UserInfo.getUserId()];

Using Workbench I can simply use the query and it returns results. I also check field level security on the name field in the account but all profiles have access.Class btw this line is in is still in API v35 .. but I don't think that is causing the issue.

 ... strange .. as when I adjust the query to the following ... it's compiling without error.

SELECT 
            Id, 
            ContactId,
            Email,
            Username,
            contact.AccountId, 
            contact.Account.Name, 
            Profile.Name
            FROM User

Hi Jos,
 List<User> lstUser = [SELECT 
            Id, 
            ContactId,
            Email,
            Username,
            AccountId, 
            Account.Name, 
            Profile.Name
            FROM User 
            WHERE Id = :UserInfo.getUserId()];

please try this.. mark as answered if your query resolved.

Thanks,

I think we cannot directly query account records from User obejct.

Here is what I would suggest,
  
List<User> IstUser = [Select ID, ContactId, Email, UserName, AccountId, Profile.Name FROM User WHERE Id =: USerInfo.getUserId()];
    
List<Account> relatedAccounts = [Select Id, Name FROM Account WHERE Owner.Id =: IstUser[0].Id];

Hope this helps and if it resolves the question then please mark it solved!

Thanks, HARSHIL, however, why does this run in production without any problems and when I now compile in a full sandbox ... I get this error ... Even other sandboxes do no give this error .. only our UAT. Could it be due to the installation of some managed packages ...?
