Trigger not firing

Hi All, 

I have a problem, where im calling a method in a controller from a button on a visual force page. The controller updates some records but the trigger that i have which is an after update doesnt fire (well acutally it seems like its firing at random there are a good few hundred records) has anyone else had this problem and know how to solve the issue? thanks.

Please share the Controller and Trigger code.

it is random probably beacuse controller's "update" dml is not being called.

OK so how would i solve that?

right gents thats the lot, can anyone see whats going on? cos im stumped as to why the trigger seems to be running at random
 
Sandeep Kumar 84Sandeep Kumar 84
I Cann you are making one flag false before update.

//Set the firstRun flag to fales before the update so the trigger will exit nicely.
        staticFlagsForRecursionTriggers.firstRun = FALSE;
        
        //finally if the list contains any breakdowns then update them.
        System.debug('breakdowns = ' + breakdowns);

        if(!breakdowns.isEmpty())
            update(breakdowns);
        }


and you putting if(staticFlagsForRecursionTriggers.firstRun) in the trigger. can you make sure if these are fine. second you have debug statement also  System.debug('breakdowns = ' + breakdowns); you need to see the size of record in the cases where you triggers are not firing.
 
Micky MMicky M
Hi Sandeep this is the static class

public with sharing class staticFlagsForRecursionTriggers 
{
    public static boolean firstRun = true;
}

so i initially set the flag to true I'll check whats coming through in the debug.

this is whats in the debug
Micky MMicky M
Slight update, ive just put a debug right after the if(staticFlagsForRecursionTriggers.firstRun) and it doesnt look as thought its getting through this condition, does this work differently if we are using a vf page call the controller?
Micky MMicky M
And even more of an update ive worked out its the staticflag thats causing the issue it doesnt seem to get set up when i call the methods from a VF page, has anyone any idea how i can get that flag to work? thanks.
