Define & Insert Queues in Apex Triggers & Test Classes?

Hello,

A Newbie question I'm sure, but...

 

What is the proper method to define and insert a Queue via an Apex Trigger or Test Class?

I'm good with standard & custom sObjects and the like, but I've not been able to find any clear documentation for inserting queues.

 

I found the metadata reference, but I'm not sure it applies to Apex:

 

When I use a statement like this:

 

Queue myQueue = new queue(email=queEmail,name=queName,fullName=queFullName,queueSobject=Case);

  

I get this error:

 

Error: Compile Error: Entity 'Queue' not accessible in version 25.0 at line 2 column 8

 

this is line 2

 

public class caseUpdateShadowUser_Test

  

So, can someone tell me what I've missed, or simply provide or direct me to a clear explanation of how to define and insert a Queue via a Trigger or Test Class?

 

Thanks,

 

Jaimie

It's a two step process:

 

            Group g1 = new Group(Name='group name', type='Queue');
            insert g1;
            QueuesObject q1 = new QueueSObject(QueueID = g1.id, SobjectType = 'Lead');
            insert q1;

Good luck
