Spring 09: AccountContactRole.ContactId not writeable?

Hi all,

 

I'm seeing some differing behavior between our Winter sandbox and our Spring 09 sandbox. This snippet of code (from a testMethod) runs fine in Winter:

AccountContactRole acr = new AccountContactRole();
acr.ContactId = contact.Id;
acr.AccountId = acct.Id;
acr.Role = 'EC';
insert acr;
But in Spring 09, I get an error in the second line above stating "System.SObjectException: Field is not writeable: AccountContactRole.ContactId"
 
I see no mention in the release notes about Contact Roles changing. Is this not the correct way to create a contact role programmatically? Is this possibly a bug? Anyone else seeing this?

That is odd.  It works fine for me in my dev (Spring 09) environment.
 
I ran this code in the execute anonymous and got no errors.
 
Account acct = [select id from Account where name='Test Acct' LIMIT 1];
Contact c = [select id from Contact where lastname='Tester' and firstname = 'Joe' LIMIT 1];
AccountContactRole acr = new AccountContactRole();
acr.ContactId = c.Id;
acr.AccountId = acct.Id;
acr.Role = 'EC';
insert acr;
 Maybe it is an issue with your contact variable being named "contact".  I have had scoping related issues due to this in the past.
