Seemingly simple get/set problem

Hello.

 

On a page, I have an inputtext field called "giftItemCost". In the custom controller, I'm referencing that value directly in a SOQL query.

 

When I use the following, it works fine:

 

 

public decimal giftItemCost {get; set;}

 

However, in order to do unit testing (and thus assign a value to the inputtext during testing), I need an explicit getter and setter. So, when I switch it to the following, it doesn't work:

 

 

public decimal giftItemCost;
public decimal getGiftItemCost() { return giftItemCost; }
public void setGiftItemCost(Decimal d) { giftItemCost = d; }

Not only does it not work, but the button on the VF page stops working entirely. Oddly, my VF page has a series of other inputtext fields, and all of them are working properly using the latter explicit get/set version of the code.

 

Any explanation would be very appreciated. Thank you.

You don't have to have explicit getter setter. You can still call the get/set method by using

 

ClassName.VariableName = AssignedValue

 

Can you send your test method  here?

Hi Osama, and thanks for the reply.

 

Thanks for the tip regarding assigning values without explicitly calling get/set. I've modified my test method, and everything works perfectly. I have included the complete test method below, as requested, and I'm still not sure why writing it as an explicit get/set didn't work.

 

 

    public static testMethod void testBatch() {
            Account testAccount = new Account(name='testAccount');
            insert testAccount;
            Contact testContact = new Contact(FirstName='First', LastName='Last');
            insert testContact;
            Lead testLead = new Lead(Company='Test Account', FirstName='John', LastName='Last', Status='Open', Phone='555-123-4567');
            insert testLead;
            Campaign testCampaign = new Campaign(Name='Test Campaign',isActive=true);
            insert testCampaign;

            CampaignMember cm1 = new CampaignMember(CampaignId=testCampaign.Id,ContactId=testContact.Id,Status='Sent');
            CampaignMember cm2 = new CampaignMember(CampaignId=testCampaign.Id,LeadId=testLead.Id,Status='Sent');
            insert cm1;
            insert cm2;

            PageReference acctPage = new PageReference('/apex/ConvertCampaignToGift');
            Test.setCurrentPage(acctPage);

            CtrlConvertCampaignToGift Ctrl = new CtrlConvertCampaignToGift();

            // Set testing values
            Ctrl.selectedCampaignId = string.valueof(testCampaign.Id);
            Ctrl.selectedGiftType = 'Sent';
            Ctrl.giftName = 'Test Gift';
            Ctrl.giftDate = '2010-01-10';
            Ctrl.giftItemCost = 20;
            Ctrl.giftQuantity = 1;

            // Execute all methods
            Ctrl.doCampaignLookup();
            Ctrl.getCampaigns();
            Ctrl.getCampaignMemberList();
            Ctrl.getCampaignStatuses();
            Ctrl.doAssignGifts();
            Ctrl.getGiftTypes();
            Ctrl.getSelectedCampaignName();
            Ctrl.getCampaignMemberStatusList();
            Ctrl.getGiftCount();
            Ctrl.getGiftsAdded();
            Ctrl.getMemberCount();
            Ctrl.getAddedGifts();
    }
