Set<String> addresses = new Set<String>();
addresses.addAll(email.toAddresses);
boolean contains = addresses.contains('your@address.here');

 

Switch it to a set and use the .contains() method.  Or you could iterate through each value of the List like so:

 

boolean found = false;
for(String s : email.addresses){
    if(s == 'your@address.here'){
        found = true;
        break;
    }
}
return found;

that would make sense. then i raise you a question. i started getting an error that caused me to check if the toaddress is null.

 

        	Set<String> addresses = new Set<String>(); 
        	
        	if (email.toAddresses != null)
        		addresses.addAll(email.toAddresses);

 

so.. now my question is... how do i write a test class so that it isn't null?I'm getting 100% test coverage except for the line above: addresses.addAll(email.toAddresses); because it's pulling a null on the email.toAddresses. That is the perceived problem.

 

	   email.subject = 'Alert - Order Complete-Attention Required';
	   env.fromAddress = 'user@acme.com';
	   env.toAddress = 'abc@123.in.salesforce.com';

You could do something like 

 

if(System.isRunningTests() && email.toAddresses == null){

    email.toAddresses = new List<String>{'foo@foo.com'};

}

 

before your check, then when you're running tests and email.toAddresses == null, you will populate the toAddresses with an email address to use later.

Should be: Test.isRunningTest();
