Test methods do not allow callouts.

 

So dont handle the response where you are making a callout. do callout in one method and handle response in other method.

 

i hope you understand else post your code.

Hi,

 

Webservice callouts are not allowed using test methods. Instead of sending the webservice request, you can prepare the sample reponse data of webservice and use that in testmethods.

 

Please let me know if there is any issue.

Hi, I still don't understand how to do it..

 

Here is my code snippet :

 

Global class UpdateInboxBatch implements Database.Batchable<sObject>,Database.AllowsCallouts
{

...

global void execute (Database.BatchableContext BC, List<Response__c> ListResponse)
    {

        simple code ...

        Star_Service.ArrayOfMobileData arrPhone = new Star_Service.ArrayOfMobileData();
        arrPhone.MobileData = arrDataMobile;
        service.updateInbox(arrPhone);

}

...

}

 

"Star_Service" is my external web service generated from wsdl.. How ot test that method? Any suggestions?

Thanks...
