Ahh, come on this is the problem asked in interview by Appirio. Wondering why people are posting company quizes here

Well there is better way to resolve this but here something I can explain yo, if you re-read the log carefully you will find 

 

1. List has no rows

 

 Here is your code

 

list <contact> con = trigger.new;

 You are trying to populate list but this is not making and SOQL call ( is it  ?) henceforth the 'con' list is empty cleraly 

 

Now you make a call to static method/function called

 

updateConf(list<contact> con)

 This will be empty call, henceforth you get brake in the code 

 

 

Possible Solution -:

 

Make a for loop on Contacts over Trigger.New and populate the list using SOQL Query

 

Other way

 

for(Sobject  _sobj : Trigger.New)

{

 

List<Contact> oldContact = [Select id from Contact where ContactId=: _sobje.id];    // populate the list on event

 

Once you reach here, you got run another for loop for each oldcontact you get in list  and update the corresponding field

 

and at last update Sobject

 

}

 

I hope this might be of help for you to resolve the current error

trigger ConferenceNumberUpdateTrigger on Contact (before insert, before update) {

   list <contact> con = trigger.new;
   
if(con.size() > 0) { ConfNumberClass.updateConf(con); }else { //populate related error here }
   

}

Bit skeptical about this approach, not sure but whenever you try populate without making any SOQL call it would be possibly be always empty, would be needing more advice here

 

 

Another sample piece could be of help

 

trigger testReqTrigger on Account (after update) {
    for(Account acc : Trigger.New){
    List<Contact> listCon = [Select Fax from Contact where AccountId =: acc.id];        for(Contact con : listCon){
        con.Fax = acc.Fax;
        }
    update listCon;

    }

}

 

I hope this makes more sense, this is something exactly what you need and was asked in Appirio Company Interview
