Here's the link of the challenge page:
https://developer.salesforce.com/trailhead/force_com_programmatic_beginner/apex_database/apex_database_sosl#challenge
and this is the error message that appears in red:
Challenge not yet complete... here's what's wrong:
Executing the 'searchContactsAndLeads' method failed. Either the method does not exist, is not static, or does not return the expected search results.
Here is my class:
//The apex class in public domain
public class ContactAndLeadSearch {
//public static method that takes a String parameter
public static SObject[] searchContactsAndLeads(String input) {
//Create list of two lists, one for Contacts and the second for Leads
List<List<SObject>> searchResults = [FIND :input
IN NAME FIELDS
RETURNING Contact(Name), Lead(Name)];
//Place list of contacts at position 1 and leads at 2
Contact[] searchContacts = (Contact[])searchResults[0];
Lead[] searchLeads = (Lead[])searchResults[1];
//return the two lists - I think this is where the problem is.
return searchContacts;
return searchLeads;
}
}
After fiddling around a little I have managed to get to the stage where no problems appear in the Problems tab in developer console. But I suspect the code would only execute up to first return method on second last line 'return searchContacts;'
Thanks a lot
The return type for 'searchContactsAndLeads' must be 'List<List< SObject>>'
You have two returns in a single method, which will not work - you should return a single collection of lists.
Cheers,
How do i return a collection though?
cheers
1. change the method declaration to have something like this - a collection of collections.
public static List<List< SObject>> searchContactsAndLeads(String input){
// I've included in Bold and Italic the return type - simply use this instead of an array like you had in your example.
2. Change the return - You will only have to return the "searchResults" variable you have in your code.
Something like
return searchResults;
notes -
a. You declare a collection of collections in a similar way to a normal collection - the trailhead Apex Basics & Database module on section Writing SOSL Queries, has an example for your reference (Search for "SOSL Apex Example"), and you can find more examples in Salesforce documentation.
b. I found a cool tutorial on Java, not Apex (but I'm guessing the behavior similar) on the "return" keyword here:
http://www.java-samples.com/showtutorial.php?tutorialid=280
c. From what I understood you don't have to get the individual collections to get the challenge successfully evaluated.
Hope you don't mind carrying on the conversation.
Here's what I get for 'searchResults' - "Return value must be of type List", but to me it is a List.
cheers
The Problem is with return type when you have List<List<sObject>> you need to define function return type the same.
public class ContactAndLeadSearch{ public static List<List< SObject>> searchContactsAndLeads(String first) { List<List<sObject>> searchList=[FIND 'Smith' IN ALL FIELDS RETURNING Lead(FirstName,LastName),Contact(FirstName,LastName)]; return searchList; } }Thanks,

Hope this helps!
But there's another trouble now: who do I give 'Best Answer' as only one can be done - oops! a tie!
You need to follow this url to create contact record
http://na3.salesforce.com/003/e and
https://na3.salesforce.com/00Q/e
(replace na3 with your salesforce instance)
Thanks,

You have to create new lead reccord with last name = Smith and also convert it without opp to have a contact !
public with sharing class ContactAndLeadSearch {
public static List<List<SObject>> searchContactsAndLeads(string param){
List<List<Sobject>> searchConLead = [FIND: param IN all fields returning Lead(FirstName, LastName),Contact(FirstName,LastName)];
return (searchConLead);
}
}
Hope it help :)
Add the below in the Apex class:
public class ContactAndLeadSearch {
public static List<List< SObject>>searchContactsAndLeads( String str){
List<List<SObject>> searchList = [FIND :str RETURNING Contact(FirstName, LastName), Lead(FirstName , LastName)];
return searchList;
}
}
public class ContactAndLeadSearch {
public static List<List< SObject>> searchContactsAndLeads(string smith){
List<List<sObject>> searchList = [FIND 'Smith' IN ALL FIELDS
RETURNING Lead(LastName WHERE LastName = :'smith'),Contact(LastName Where LastName = :'smith')];
return (searchList);
}
}
public class ContactAndLeadSearch {
public static List<List<sObject>> searchContactsAndLeads(String Srchstring)
{
List<List<sObject>> SrcList=[Find :Srchstring IN all FIELDS returning Contact(Firstname,LastName), Lead(Firstname,LastName)];
return SrcList;
}
}
public class ContactAndLeadSearch {
public static List<List<Object>> searchContactsAndLeads (String str)
{
List<List<Object>> obj = [FIND :str IN ALL FIELDS
RETURNING Contact(FirstName,LastName),
Lead(FirstName,LastName)];
return obj;
}
}
it's probably because every record in Salesforce is natively represented as an sObject in Apex, not just 'Object'.
The rest of the code seems OK. :-)
The below code is working absolutely fine.
public class ContactAndLeadSearch {
public static List<list<sObject>> searchContactsAndLeads (String First){
List<list<sObject>> searchdata = new List<list<sObject>>();
searchdata =[Find :First IN ALL Fields RETURNING Contact(Firstname,Lastname),Lead(Firstname,Lastname)];
system.debug('@@@@'+searchdata);
Return searchdata;
}
}
public static List<List<SObject>> searchContactsAndLeads(string param)
{
List<List<Sobject>> searchConLead = [FIND: param IN all fields returning Lead(FirstName, LastName),Contact(FirstName,LastName)];
return (searchConLead);
}
}
