How to close a Case with apex

Hi all.

 

I am trying to test a trigger that checks whether a Case is closed or not, but I can't close a Case in order to test my trigger.

I am doing the following in my test code.

 

Case parent = new Case();

Database.insert(parent);

 

Case child = new Case();

child.ParentId = parent.Id;

child.Status = 'Fechado'; // This label is set up to true in isClosed field in CaseStatus

Database.inset(child);

 

System.debug(child.Status); // It outputs Fechado

System.debug(child.isClosed); // It outputs false

 

Can someone help me? Sorry for my poor English.

After you insert or update a record, you have to query the values back from the database. Only the ID value is updated in the memory reference for that record.

 

insert child;
child = [SELECT Id,Status,IsClosed FROM Case WHERE Id = :child.Id];

Thanks fellow.

 

 

You are right.

Only the ID value is updated in the memory reference for that record.

I didn't know that.

 

Thanks again.
