Create an Apex class that writes and reads from the org cache Trailhead Challenge error

Hello,

I am trying to complete the challenge for the Use Org & Session Cache module on Salesforce Trailhead. Here are the instructions:

In this challenge, you’ll write an Apex class that writes and reads a bus schedule from the org cache. Your method for reading the cache has to handle cache misses.
  • Create a partition called BusSchedule with 0 MB for the size of org cache and session cache. The 0 MB allocation enables you to test cache misses.
  • Create a public Apex class called BusScheduleCache.
  • Add this variable to the class: private Cache.OrgPartition part;
  • In the constructor, create a new instance of Cache.OrgPartition by passing it the partition name (local.BusSchedule). Assign this object to the class variable (part).
  • Add two public methods. a. The first method, putSchedule(), returns void and takes these parameters: String busLine, Time[] schedule. b. The second method, getSchedule(), returns a bus schedule as a time array (Time[]) and takes this parameter: String busLine.
  • Implement the putSchedule() method so that it stores the passed-in values in the org cache by using the partition class variable (part).
  • Implement the getSchedule() method so that it returns the schedule for the specified bus line by using the partition class variable (part).
  • Add logic to the getSchedule() method to handle cache misses. If null is returned for the cached value, getSchedule() should return the following default schedule as a Time array with two Time objects: one Time object value of 8am and another of 5pm. Use the Apex Time.newInstance() method to create the Time objects.
Here is my current code:
 
public class BusScheduleCache {   
    // Get partition
    private Cache.OrgPartition part;
    String partitionName = 'local.BusSchedule';
    
    public BusScheduleCache(String partitionName) {
		Cache.OrgPartition newpart = Cache.Org.getPartition(partitionName);
        part = newpart;
    }
    
    public static void putSchedule(String busLine, Time[] schedule) {
        Cache.Org.put(busline, schedule);
    }
        
    public static Time[] getSchedule(String busLine) {
        Time[] schedule;
        
        // Get a cached value
		Object obj = Cache.Org.get(busLine);
		// Cast return value to a specific data type
		Time t2 = (Time)obj;
        if (t2 != null) {
        	schedule.add(t2);
        }
        else {
            Time t3 = Time.newInstance(8,0,0,0);
            schedule.add(t3);
            Time t4 = Time.newInstance(17,0,0,0);
            schedule.add(t4);
        }        
        return schedule;
    }  
      
}



Here is the error I am receiving:

Challenge Not yet complete... here's what's wrong: 
The Apex Class BusScheduleCache is not properly implemented. Please follow the requirements and ensure everything is setup correctly

Can someone please help?

I have updated the code to the following, but still no luck:
 
public class BusScheduleCache {   
    // Get partition
    private Cache.OrgPartition part;
    String partitionName = 'local.BusSchedule';
    
    public BusScheduleCache (String partitionName) {
		Cache.OrgPartition newpart = new Cache.OrgPartition(partitionName);
        part = newpart;
    }
    
    public void putSchedule(String busLine, Time[] schedule) {
        part.put(busline, schedule);
    }
        
    public Time[] getSchedule(String busLine) {
        Time[] schedule;
        
        // Get a cached value
		Object obj = part.get(busLine);
		// Cast return value to a specific data type
		Time t2 = (Time)obj;
        if (t2 != null) {
        	schedule.add(t2);
        }
        else {
            Time t3 = Time.newInstance(8,0,0,0);
            schedule.add(t3);
            Time t4 = Time.newInstance(17,0,0,0);
            schedule.add(t4);
        }        
        return schedule;
    }  
      
}

Hey,

I cannot seem to pass this challenge as well. It feels like I'm missing something obvious.

My code is similiar to yours, with the difference being at getSchedule method:
 
public Time[] getSchedule(String busLine) {
    Object schedule = part.get(busLine);
    if (schedule==null) {
        return new List<Time>{Time.newInstance(08,0,0,0), Time.newInstance(15,0,0,0)};
            }
    else {
        return (Time[])part.get(busLine);
    }
}

If there's no confirmed bug in the challenge, I'd like to receive a hint (not the whole passing code).

Thanks in advance.

I can't get this to pass either. I even just copied and pasted the code marked as the best answer and still no luck.. any one else get this to pass?
 
Tolga SunarTolga Sunar
I was able to pass with the code marked as the best answer. Maybe you did a typo while defining the partition in your cache, better have a look outside the code.

I actually closed out of trailhead and logged back in and then it passed..  Grrrrrr!

This can be accomplished with less code:
 
public class BusScheduleCache {
	private Cache.OrgPartition part;
    
    public BusScheduleCache(){
        Cache.OrgPartition initPart = new Cache.OrgPartition('local.BusSchedule');
        
        if (initPart != null){
            part = initPart;
        }
    }
    
    public void putSchedule(string busLine, Time[] schedule){
        if (part != null){
            part.put(busLine,schedule);
        }
    }
    
    public Time[] getSchedule(string busLine){
        Time[] bSched = new Time[]{};
        
        if (part != null && (Time[])part.get(busLine) != null){
        	bSched = (Time[])part.get(busLine);        
        } else{
            bSched.add(Time.newInstance(8,0,0,0));
            bSched.add(Time.newInstance(17,0,0,0));
        }
        
        return bSched;
    }
}

 
George WilliamsGeorge Williams
Tolga, your second time param is for 3PM, not 5PM.  Not sure if 08 is a valid pass for 8AM either but it probably is.  Other then that you are returning it as a list but if it compiled then Salesforce must not adhear to strict typing between lists and arrays.  I would suggest, though, that you change that return to a Time[] instead of a list.

#George Williams, Thank you!  I was sooo stuck on the schedule filling! I love the easy way and I made it way too hard (as is usuallly the case when I get stuck.)  I now have a delicious squirrel for dinner.

This is the very simple and basic code to complete the challenge. Read it carefully.
public class BusScheduleCache{
    private Cache.OrgPartition part;
        
    public BusScheduleCache(){
        part = new Cache.OrgPartition('local.BusSchedule');
    }
    
    public void putSchedule(String busLine, Time[] schedule){
        if(part != null){
            part.put('busLine', schedule);
        }
    }
    
    public Time[] getSchedule(String busLine){
        Time[] schedule = (Time[])part.get(busLine);
        if (schedule != null) {
            return schedule;  
        } else {
            return new List<Time>{Time.newInstance(8, 0, 0, 0), Time.newInstance(17, 0, 0, 0)};
        }
    }
}

The code in the answer to this question is overly complicated. See what Ghanshyam Kumar 9 did, it is the most elegant solution.
Jekabs AizpurvsJekabs Aizpurvs
A beter practice would be to replace the 
part = new Cache.OrgPartition('local.BusSchedule');
with
part = Cache.Org.getPartition('local.BusSchedule');

right? We already create a Cache partition through salesforce Classic earlier on.

        }
    }
    
    public void putSchedule(String busLine, Time[] schedule) {
        // store values in the org cache using 'part'
        if(part != null) {
            part.put(busLine, schedule);
        }
    }
    
    public Time[] getSchedule(String busLine) {
        // return schedule for the specified bus line using 'part'
        Time[] schedule = new List<Time>();
        
		Object obj = part.get(busLine);
        if(obj != null) {
            // return the value from the org cache if exists
           	schedule.add((Time)obj);
        } else {
        	// logic to handle cache misses
        	schedule = new Time[]{Time.newInstance(8,0,0,0), Time.newInstance(17,0,0,0)};	     
        }
        return schedule;
    }
}

This solution also works, Confirming for 2018

Hi everyone,

I have been able to get my code to work and tested it with my own test class successfully but I still cannot get a pass on this Trailhead module. I did some more digging in the developer console debugger by looking a the log entry that is created when I press "Check Challenge..". If I display the "Source" window of the log in the Developer Console, I believe that I can see the code that is being run to test my solution (using the "All" perspective).  It looks like the trailhead code is populating a schedule with name of '411' and a value of 10am and 12pm (See line 2 in the 1st screenshot below). It then tests that the first array element is 8am (See line 6), which fails. My log shows "Assertion Failed: Expected: 08:00:00.000Z, Actual: 10:00:00:000Z" which makes sense given the code I see in this Source view.

Here is the Source of what I believe is the Trailhead test:
Source
Here is my log entry error:
Log

Can anyone confirm if this test is still working for them and if so, do you have different source displayed? Am I misunderstanding the debug results that I am seeing here?

Thank you for your help.

Just posting this followup on my above comments. The Trailhead test was to be done with a zero cache allocation. I tested my code both without and with a 5mb allocation but ran the trailhead test with the allocation still in place. Once I removed the allocation, the test passed.
