if i execute this code

ClientMenuController cmc = new ClientMenuController();
cmc.client_list = Factory.CreateClientList(10);
cmc.name_search_string = '8';
PageReference r = cmc.search_name();
integer actual = cmc.records_found;
integer expected = 1;
system.debug('==============>expected:' + expected);    
system.debug('==============>actual' + actual);

i get these debug messages

DEBUG:==============>expected:1

DEBUG:==============>actual:1

if i put the same code in the test method and call

System.assertEquals(expected, actual);

the test fails with

System Assert Exception Expected 1  Actual 0

i don't understand why the values in one of the variables is replaced by 0

thanks for any help you can give

I have this code in a test

     ClientMenuController cmc = new ClientMenuController();
         cmc.client_list = Factory.CreateClientList(10);
        cmc.name_search_string = '8';
        Test.startTest();
            PageReference r = cmc.search_name();
             Integer expected = 1;
             Integer actual = cmc.records_found;
         Test.stopTest();    
    
         System.assertEquals( expected, actual);

the test fails

if i excute the same code outside of a test and system.debug(actual) it comes out to be 1

why is 1 not equal to 1

thanks

i'm trying to write the simplest possible test

my class

public  class GroupList

{

public string test;

public string gettest(){
    return 'test';
}
public void settest(string new_value){
    this.test = new_value;
}

}

my test

@isTest
public with sharing class testGroupList {

static testMethod void test_value_Test() {
    
           GroupList g = new GroupList();
           g.settest('test');
           string tv = g.gettest();   
        System.assertEquals('test',tv);

}
}

i get "method does not exist or incorrect signature on the "g.settest" line... can't figure out what i'm doing wrong

thanks

Hello,

I need help with the following setScale, not sure why it's not working. I need to be able to set certain number fields with trailing 0. In this case I need a trailing 4 decimal places even if it's 0

quantity__c is Number(18, 0) (I had it set to 14,4..nothing changed)

m.quantity__c = (m.quantity__c).setScale(4);

The value would appear as ie. 10.0

If m.quantity__c was a string field I believe the setScale(4) works but i dont want to create unnecessary fields..
