ppiyush Testing controller extensions
Hi there,
I have the following controller extension, and corresponding unit test. I want to find out why the assertion fails. How do I initialize the controller in the right way, so that the getAt() function sends back the correct account name?
extension class:
public class childAccount {
private List<Account> acctz;
private Account acct;
public childAccount(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {
this.acct= (Account)controller.getRecord();
}
public String getAt()
{
Account[] at = [Select name FROM Account where id= :acct.id];
if(at.size()>0){
return at[0].Name;
}
else{
return null;
}
}
public List<Account> getAcctz()
{
Account act = [Select id FROM Account where id = :acct.id];
acctz = [Select id, Name, Address_Street__c, Address_City__c, Office__c, Type, parentid, Ownerid from Account where parentid = :act.id];
return acctz;
}
}
test class:
@isTest
private class childAccountTest {
static testMethod void myUnitTest() {
Account a = new Account(Name='Test Account');
ApexPages.StandardController sc = new ApexPages.StandardController(a);
childAccount cont = new childAccount(sc);
system.assertEquals(a.Name,cont.getAt());
}
}
You might want to put some logic in your test method to verify that your contacts are actually getting inserted, maybe a try catch block around them. My guess is they are not, I believe you should be adding the accountid, not just account, and referencing the accountID of the test account you insert.

Taking a quick glance, I see you created the account object in the test class but did not insert it (therefore it would be null)...
thanks a lot for that - much appreciated.
I have another issue with a similar test that I am running.
Essentially, in the assertion below, I keep getting the value from getCntz() as blank, and hence the assertion fails, but I cant figure out why...
@isTest private class childContactTest { static testMethod void myUnitTest() { Account a = new Account(Name='Test Account'); insert a; Contact[] cnx = new Contact[2]; cnx[0] = new Contact(FirstName='childc1', LastName='test', account=a); cnx[1] = new Contact(FirstName='childc2', LastName='test', account=a); insert cnx; ApexPages.StandardController sc = new ApexPages.StandardController(a); childContact cont = new childContact(sc); system.assertEquals(a,cont.getAt()); system.assertEquals(cnx,cont.getCntz()); } }Here is the actual extension class:
public class childContact { private List<Contact> cntz; private Account acct; public childContact(ApexPages.StandardController controller) { this.acct= (Account)controller.getRecord(); } public Account getAt() { Account[] at = [Select id,name FROM Account where id= :acct.id]; if(at.size()>0){ return at[0]; } else{ return null; } } public List<Contact> getCntz() { Account act = [Select id FROM Account where id = :acct.id]; cntz = [Select id, Name, Client_Potential__c, title, Address_City__c, Direct_Phone__c, Email, Open_Projects__c, Days_Since_Last_Contact__c, Account.name, Ownerid from Contact where (account.parentid = :act.id OR account.id = :act.id)]; return cntz; } public PageReference UpdateRecords() { // this simple line of code finds out which column was changed and update the // relevant account record accordingly! update cntz; return null; } }You might want to put some logic in your test method to verify that your contacts are actually getting inserted, maybe a try catch block around them. My guess is they are not, I believe you should be adding the accountid, not just account, and referencing the accountID of the test account you insert.
