scottnelsonsmith Static methods cannot reference enums?
We're getting an unexpected error message when we try to compile this on the line noted below: "Error: Compile Error: Expression of type TestClass.TestType has no member named A at line ....."
If we comment out the contents of runTest then it compiles fine. We suspect a bug in Apex in which static methods cannot reference enums. This is ironic because static testMethods can!
@isTest
private class FixAccountIdInSalsTest
{
private enum TestType{A, B}
private static testMethod void testForA()
{
runTest(TestType.A); // COMPILES FINE
}
private static testMethod void testForB()
{
runTest(TestType.B); // COMPILES FINE
}
private static void runTest(TestType testType)
{
Test.StartTest();
if (TestType.A == testType) // COMPILER BREAKS HERE
{
// do something
}
else if (TestType.B == testType) // AND PRESUMABLY BREAKS HERE
{
// do something else
}
}
}
For example, you could try updating the "runTest" method signature as follows, of course making sure to also update references to the "testType" variable within that method accordingly:
private static void runTest(TestType aType)
try to rename the variable from testType to something else so it differs from the enum name.
