rroberts How to write test cases for LeadHistory?
Hi all,
I'm a long time developer, but new to Apex. I've written an Apex scheduler class that counts LeadHistory fields to determine what to do with the Lead. I'm now in the testing stage, but the more I research, the more I find that test cases are impossible (?!) for History tables.
My sandbox has no leads, etc in it, so I add the leads in the test cases and immediately change a value, hoping that will create LeadHistory entries, but it doesn't seem to:
insert new Lead(Company = 'Lead Company', FirstName = 'firstname', LastName = 'lastname'); Lead l = [select id from Lead Limit 1]; l.OwnerId = '005a0000008V0qDAAS';
update l;
The assert comes back with LeadHistory being empty...
Is it really impossible to write tests for my code? How am I supposed to test and deploy the code then?
Edit: I got the info that it's impossible from several forum posts, such as:

Robert,
You can create a LeadHistory record in your Test class by using the below code :-
Leadhistory lh = new Leadhistory(Field='<API namwe of field on history tracking is enabled>',LeadId=l.id);
insert lh;
Now,you can use the above in your assert.

Robert,

Leadhistory lh = new Leadhistory(Field='<API namwe of field on history tracking is enabled>',LeadId=l.id);
insert lh;
Now,you can use the above in your assert.
@isTest
public class testClassName{
public static testMethod void testMethod()
{
Lead l l = new Lead();
l.Name = 'name';
insert l;
yourClass classRef = new YourClass();
ApexPages.currentPage().getHeaders().put('referer', 'l.id');classRef .urMethod();
}
}
I don't know why all those other forum posts claimed it wasn't possible. Thanks - glad to see it's just a simple Insert, just as the Lead was.
