msreekm test methods- initializing and sharing data between test methods
public with sharing class MyTest {
static string mynum='10';
private MyTest() {
mynum='11112222';
}
static testMethod void testMethod1() {
System.Debug('value of mynum >>>>>>>' + MyTest.mynum); -- prints 10
}
static testMethod void testMethod2() {
mynum='1111';
System.Debug('value of mynum >>>>>>>' + MyTest.mynum); --prints 1111
}
}
I observed that test method 2 execute first and then test method 1. Is there a good way to init common data across methods. MyTest() constructor doesnt work . Also value set in one method is not retained in the next method..
Hey
Test methods are static so they aren't 'attached' to an instance of a class. They are also a bit special, as they are picked up when you choose to 'Run Tests'(probably using the 'testmethod' keyword).
I don't think there is a way for test methods to share data, as that might goes against the concept of a unit test, but what I do use are common initialisation methods. As an example,
static string mynum='10';
private static void init() {
mynum='11112222';
}
static testMethod void testMethod1() {
init();
System.Debug('value of mynum >>>>>>>' + MyTest.mynum); -- will now print 11112222
}
static testMethod void testMethod2() {
mynum='1111';
System.Debug('value of mynum >>>>>>>' + MyTest.mynum); --prints 1111
}
}
Cheers,
