I am having issues with Creating  an Apex class that returns Account objects for the Mapping.net concepts challenge.  I am a VB and Javascript programmer and I can't seem to get the syntax right.   
public class AccountUtils {
    
    public static void accountsByState(String st){
       List<String> accts = [SELECT Id, Name FROM Account WHERE billingState = :st];
 }
  
}
I believe the first part is correct, but I cannot seem to get a return value.  I am confused by the constructors.  I have tried the documentation but I can't get a return value.  Please help.  I need to get this challenge complete.
 
Hai guys,
The repeater must use the <li> HTML list tag
The repeater must use the apex:outputLink component to link to the respective record detail page
HINT: Record detail pages can be reached by placing a record ID at the root of the URL (e.g. '/<record id>').
how can i achieve it.
my vf page code is
<apex:page standardController="Account" recordSetVar="accounts">
  <apex:form >
  <apex:repeat value="{!accounts}" var="a">
 
  
 <li> <apex:outputLink value="/apex/AccountList?id=00128000005LpU9">
  
  {!Account.Name}
  
  </apex:outputLink>
</li>
  </apex:repeat>
  
  
  </apex:form>
</apex:page>
can any one help me
public class VerifyDate {
//method to handle potential checks against two dates
public static Date CheckDates(Date date1, Date date2) {
//if date2 is within the next 30 days of date1, use date2. Otherwise use the end of the month
if(DateWithin30Days(date1,date2)) {
return date2;
} else {
return SetEndOfMonthDate(date1);
}
}
//method to check if date2 is within the next 30 days of date1
private static Boolean DateWithin30Days(Date date1, Date date2) {
//check for date2 being in the past
if( date2 < date1) { return false; }
//check that date2 is within (>=) 30 days of date1
Date date30Days = date1.addDays(30); //create a date 30 days away from date1
if( date2 >= date30Days ) { return false; }
else { return true; }
}
//method to return the end of the month of a given date
private static Date SetEndOfMonthDate(Date date1) {
Integer totalDays = Date.daysInMonth(date1.year(), date1.month());
Date lastDay = Date.newInstance(date1.year(), date1.month(), totalDays);
return lastDay;
}
}

I need test class for this class.Please provide me
hello,

i am a newbie to salesforce and trying to complete this trailhead challenge and unable to find a way through apex to generate this method for creating new contacts with unique id. as one requirement to pass the challenge is "The 'generateRandomContacts' method must be capable of consistently generating contacts with unique first names."

If somebody successfully completed the task kindly help me.

regards,
create an Apex class that inserts a new account named after an incoming parameter. If the account is successfully inserted, the method should return the account record. If a DML exception occurs, the method should return null?
The Apex class must be called 'AccountHandler' and be in the public scope.
The Apex class must have a public static method called 'insertNewAccount'.
The 'insertNewAccount' method must accept an incoming string as a parameter, name the account after the parameter, insert it into the system and then return the account record.
The 'insertNewAccount' method must also accept an empty string, catch the failed DML and return null.
The challenge as follows:

For purposes of local regulation new customers must be approved by the legal team.

When an Account has the value of 'Prospect' in the Type field, a user will click the 'Submit for Approval' button to launch an approval process. The process will only happen if Type is 'Prospect' and there are more than 500 employees. Upon entry of the process, Type will become 'Pending' and be locked. If approved, Type will be set to 'Customer' and be unlocked. If not approved, Type will be set back to 'Prospect' and will be unlocked.

The Account object's Type field must have the following picklist values: Prospect, Customer, Pending. Before creating the approval process, verify the values in your Account object setup
The approval process name must be 'Approve New Account'.
When user click 'Submit for Approval', the approval must be processed if the Type field is set to 'Prospect' and the value of Employees is greater than 500.
Upon entering the approval process, set the Type field to 'Pending' and lock the record.
Normally the approver would be someone else. In this instance, assign yourself to be the approver.
If approved, set the Type field to 'Customer' and unlock the record.
If not approved, set the Type field back to 'Prospect', and unlock the record.

I am getting error message: Challenge not yet complete... here's what's wrong: 
There was an unexpected error in your org which is preventing this assessment check from completing: System.DmlException: Process failed. First exception on row 0; first error: REQUIRED_FIELD_MISSING, missing required field: [nextApproverIds]: [nextApproverIds]

This are the steps I did:

Created approval process called Approve New Account
Criteria Account Type field equals Prospect and Account Employees field greater than 500
Final Approval Actions - Update Type field to Customer
Final Rejection Actions - Update Type field to Prospect

What am I missing that I received the error message?  Please help.

Thanks.
The challenge is:

You've been given a requirement to keep Contact addresses in sync with the Account they belong to. Use Process Builder to create a new process that updates all child Contact addresses when the address of the Account record is updated. This process:Can have any name.
Must be activated.
Must update Contact mailing address fields (Street, City, State, Post Code, Country) when the parent Account shipping address field values are updated.

I start with Accounts when records is created or edited.
Filter criteria where accounts shipping address (street, city, state, zip code) is changed (used "or" logic).

I am stuck on the next step "add action".  I started with action type "Update Records".
On objects, I can't seem to change Accounts to Contacts.  Why?
Apex class as following-

public class VerifyDate {
//method to handle potential checks against two dates
public static Date CheckDates(Date date1, Date date2) {
//if date2 is within the next 30 days of date1, use date2. Otherwise use the end of the month
if(DateWithin30Days(date1,date2)) {
return date2;
} else {
return SetEndOfMonthDate(date1);
}
}
//method to check if date2 is within the next 30 days of date1
private static Boolean DateWithin30Days(Date date1, Date date2) {
Date date30Days = date1.addDays(30); //create a date 30 days away from date1
if( date2 > date30Days ) { return false; }
else { return true; }
}
 
//method to return the end of the month of a given date
private static Date SetEndOfMonthDate(Date date1) {
Integer totalDays = Date.daysInMonth(date1.year(), date1.month());
Date lastDay = Date.newInstance(date1.year(), date1.month(), totalDays);
return lastDay;
}
}

-------------------------------------------------
@Test class as following-

@isTest
public class TestVerifyDate
{
     @isTest static void testWarmTemp()
     {
          Date dte = VerifyDate.CheckDates(1,10);
          System.assertEquals(10,dte);
     }
}

--------------------------

test code show me the following error-
[Error] Error: Compile Error: Method does not exist or incorrect signature: VerifyDate.CheckDates(Integer, Integer) at line 6 column 21
My Trigger is as following:-

trigger RestrictContactByName on Contact (before insert, before update)
{ //check contacts prior to insert or update for invalid data
For (Contact c : Trigger.New)
{
if(c.LastName == 'INVALIDNAME')
{ //invalidname is invalid
c.AddError('The Last Name "'+c.LastName+'" is not allowed for DML');
}
}
}

--------------------------------------------------
And my Test class as follows:-
@isTest
private class TestRestrictContactByName
{
    @isTest static void TestContact()
    {

        Contact con=new Contact(FirstName='Arjun', LastName='Mahi');
        if(con.LastName=='INVALIDNAME')
        {
             con.AddError('The Last Name "'+con.LastName+'" is not allowed for DML');
            
        }else{insert con;}  
 
        Contact conn=new Contact(FirstName='Arjun', LastName='Kapur');
         if(conn.LastName=='INVALIDNAME')
        {
             conn.AddError('The Last Name "'+conn.LastName+'" is not allowed for DML');
            
        }else {update conn;}  
       
        Contact com=new Contact(FirstName='Rama', LastName='INVALIDNAME');
        
        if(com.LastName=='INVALIDNAME')
        {
             com.AddError('The Last Name "'+com.LastName+'" is not allowed for DML');
            
        }else {insert conn;}
    }
}


plz help me complete this Challenge :)
Thanx in Advance :)
 
Hello all,

I'm unable to complete the challenges for steps 3-5 in the "Apex Basics & Database" Trailhead module. I can't figure out what could be wrong with any of my classes. The message I get for all three is a variation on:

"Executing the 'searchContactsAndLeads' method failed. Either the method does not exist, is not static, or does not return the expected search results."

All of the classes are public. All of the methods are public and static. I've checked the return types and have successfully run them all with test data. I've tried re-entering the test data provided in the module to make sure it's accurate. No idea what I'm doing that makes this fail. (I'm not using a custom namespace.)

I'll paste my code below. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Mike

public class AccountHandler {
    public static ID insertNewAccount(String acctName) {
        Account newAcct = new Account(Name=acctName);
        try {
            insert newAcct;
        } catch (DMLException e) {
            System.debug('A DML exception has occurred: ' +
                         e.getMessage());
            return Null;
        }        
        return newAcct.Id;
    }
}

public class ContactSearch {
    public static List<Contact> searchForContact(
        String lastName, String postalCode) {
            List<Contact> contacts = new List<Contact>();
            contacts = [SELECT Name
                        FROM Contact
                        WHERE LastName = :lastName AND
                        MailingPostalCode = :postalCode ];           
            return contacts;
        }
}

public with sharing class ContactAndLeadSearch {
    public static List<List<SObject>> searchContactsAndLeads(String srch) {
        List<List<SObject>> results = [FIND :srch IN NAME FIELDS];
        }
}
Hello developer heroes!

I'm working through the Apex modules on Trailhead and can't seem to get past this one: https://developer.salesforce.com/en/trailhead/force_com_programmatic_beginner/apex_triggers/apex_triggers_bulk.

Hopefully this doesn't read like a 'please complete the course for me' kinda post, but I have written a trigger that I believe meets the criteria but it isn't passing the check, so I wanted to seek the guidance of the experts.

The challenge is to do this:

Create an Apex trigger for Opportunity that adds a task to any opportunity set to 'Closed Won'.

To complete this challenge, you need to add a trigger for Opportunity. The trigger will add a task to any opportunity inserted or updated with the stage of 'Closed Won'. The task's subject must be 'Follow Up Test Task'.The Apex trigger must be called 'ClosedOpportunityTrigger'

- With 'ClosedOpportunityTrigger' active, if an opportunity is inserted or updated with a stage of 'Closed Won', it will have a task created with the subject 'Follow Up Test Task'.
- To associate the task with the opportunity, fill the 'WhatId' field with the opportunity ID.
- This challenge specifically tests 200 records in one operation.


And here is the trigger I have come up with, which compiles OK and stands up to a manual (though admittedly unbulkified) test:
trigger ClosedOpportunityTrigger on Opportunity (after insert, after update) {

    List<Task> taskList = new List<Task>();
    
    for (Opportunity opp : [SELECT Id, StageName FROM Opportunity WHERE StageName = 'Closed Won' AND Id IN :Trigger.new]){
                    
            taskList.add(new Task(Subject = 'Follow Up Test Task',
                                  WhatId = opp.Id));
       
    }

    if(taskList.size()>0){
        
        insert taskList;
        
    }
    
}
I have tried replacing the SOQL with a straightforward 'for (Opportunity opp : Trigger.new)' and having the taskList.add inside an IF that checks for Closed Won - no luck. I also thought about checking to see if the stage was being changed to Closed Won, rather than the trigger firing on every edit, but I don't think this is what the module is asking for.

Where do you think I'm going wrong?

Huge thanks in advance!
Hi ,
I was trying to solve the trailhead challenge under "Using Static Resources".

Am getting following message:
Challenge not yet complete... here's what's wrong: 
The page does not include a reference to the specified image

Following code am using.
<apex:page >
            <apex:pageBlock title="Pic" >
                    <apex:pageBlockSection >
                         <apex:image value="{!URLfor($Resource.vfimagetest, '/cats/kitten1.jpg')}"/>
                    </apex:pageBlockSection>
             </apex:pageBlock>
</apex:page>
Am I missing something here?
