Hi,

 

I think you are getting an error on this line: Task t = new Task(whatId=a.id);

 

You can rewrite it as,

Task t = new Task();

t.whatId = a.Id;

 

Thanks,

Devendra

I know its very old query, but just wanted to share my experience if any one out there facing a similar issue.

Since the error says name value pair for contructor the issue might be because of the overriding of standard controller with custom, just check your org for any custom controller with name Account or Task. If you find any just try renaming them to something else or delete the controller if you dont need it.

Now try saving the code where you got the error. Hope it helps

Thanks yvk431!
I have got this issue many times, But first time i have got the solution.

Yes, It's Working after Renaming Account  or deleting Account Name from controller

Or just use Schema nameprefix for that. Schema.Account a = new Schema.Account(name='Test Account');

yvk431,
Thanks for the advice. That just fixed my problem concerning "Invalid constructor syntax, name=value pairs can only be used for SObjects." I eliminated the custom controller and the problem went away!
