Is it possible to have multiple Batch Apex classes on the same object?

Hi,

 

I have 2 Batch Apex classes that update contact records. Now, I'm trying to write the test method for both, and it seems that when I attempt to simulate the batch job for either job, the other batch job runs as well and I get a runtime error. If I comment out one of the jobs, then other job runs fine and I get 100% coverage (on that particular batch apex job).

 

Is there anything in particular that I need to do to be able to test multiple Apex jobs?

 

Thanks in advance.

If you have two apex batch jobs for the same Object, how are they triggered? Some code of your batches would be useful to help point you in a direction. If there's a trigger that is starting your batch you might want to put some logic in the trigger(or apex class) to determine if the batch needs to be started.

Hi,

 

Both Batch Apex jobs are triggered by the scheduler. Originally, I was creating a constructor (for my Batch Apex class) and passing the query as parameter within the constructor. When I did this, I was getting a runtime error on my test class. I decided to get rid of the constructor w/ the parameter, and now all it's good.

 

I need to understand why it didn't work w/ the constructors, but I think I'll do that once I have some free time :-) Thanks for checking into this though.
