I have a very simple extension to a custom object that I use for three reasons: 1, so make sure that the user's custom profile is being utilized, 2, the classification is set on this specific VF page and 3, the command buttons are specific to the VF page being used.
My Controller:

public class EntryExtension {

public Journal_Entry__c entry{get; set;}

public EntryExtension (ApexPages.StandardController stdController){

List<Contact> users = [Select JournalProfileID__c From Contact Where Id In
(Select ContactId From User Where Id = :UserInfo.getUserId()) limit 1];

if (!users.isEmpty()) {
    entry = (Journal_Entry__c)stdController.getRecord();
    entry.Journal_Profile__c = users.get(0).JournalProfileID__c;
    entry.Classification__c = 'TestClass';
} 

    Id recordId = stdController.getId();
if(recordId == null){
    entry.ShowTrueFalse__c = 'ShowTrue';
    entry.ShowTrueFalse2__c = 'ShowFalse';
}
}
public PageReference saveID(){

    upsert entry;
    PageReference reRend = new PageReference('/TheEntry');
    reRend.getParameters().put('id',entry.Id);
    reRend.setRedirect(true);
    return reRend;        
}


public PageReference newSaveSelf(){

    upsert entry; 
    PageReference reRend = new PageReference('/SelfInterpretation');
    reRend.getParameters().put('journalEntry',entry.Id);
    reRend.setRedirect(true);
    return reRend;        
}
public PageReference saveSelf(){

String journalEntryID = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('id');
List<Journal_Entry__c> checkVis = [Select Self_Interp__c, SelfID__c From Journal_Entry__c Where Id = :journalEntryID limit 1];
String finalCheck =  checkVis.get(0).SelfID__c;

    upsert entry;
    PageReference reRend = new PageReference('/SelfInterpretation');
    reRend.getParameters().put('id',finalCheck);
    reRend.setRedirect(true);
    return reRend;        

}    

public PageReference SubmitForInterp(){

    upsert entry; 
    PageReference reRend = new PageReference('/SaleData');
    reRend.getParameters().put('journalEntry',entry.Id);
    reRend.setRedirect(true);
    return reRend;        

}
}

This is my Test Controller which is giving me a "System.NullPointerException: Attempted to upsert a null list" error
Class.EntryExtension.saveID: line 26, column 1 Class.TestEntryExtension.test: line 24, column 1
Obviously, I would want the other page references to be tested as well, but I can't even seem to get the one to work...

@isTest (seealldata=true)
public class TestEntryExtension{

public static testMethod void test() {

Journal_Entry__c entry = new Journal_Entry__c();
List<Contact> users = [Select JournalProfileID__c From Contact Where FirstName = 'Test' limit 1];

    entry.Journal_Profile__c = users.get(0).JournalProfileID__c;
    entry.Classification__c = 'TestClass';
    entry.Name = 'Test Tests';
    entry.ShowTrueFalse__c = 'ShowTrue';
    entry.ShowTrueFalse2__c = 'ShowFalse';
    insert entry;

PageReference pref = Page.TheEntry;
pref.getParameters().put('id', entry.id);
Test.setCurrentPage(pref);


ApexPAges.StandardController sc = new ApexPages.StandardController(entry);
EntryExtension testController = new EntryExtension(sc);

PageReference result = testController.saveID();
System.assertNotEquals(null, result);


//        testController.newSaveSelf();
//        testController.saveSelf();
//        testController.SubmitForInterp();

   system.assert(testController.entry.Id != null);
        apexPages.Currentpage().getParameters().put('Id',entry.id);

}
}

I greatly appreciate any help I can get!!

I have a page that I use to search Entries in a Journal in our Salesforce Communities visualforce page. The system works just fine, except that I have been asked to make it search upon keyup. This was obviously easy, but presented a problem that I can't seem to figure out! If you type the text quickly, you can type whatever you want, but if there is even the slightest pause, the search happens and focus is lost from the input field. I kinda expected focus to be lost, but what I didn't anticipate, was not being able to use JS or apex:actionFunction to regain focus. I have tried JS to give focus upon load of the page, but it wont, I have tried creating a simple button that gives focus to the inputfield, but it wont. If you click on the input field, it will hold focus until the action is performed, but otherwise, it will not "take focus". Would you please look at my code and tell me where I'm going wrong?

    }

}

I suspect that the problem with all of this has something to do with the rerendering after each onkeyup, but that wouldn't explain why other functions such as on page load and apex:actionFunction don't work...
I would greatly appreciate any insight!

Hello, I am having trouble working out how to get my SOSL search page to test with a solid percentage.  The reason I am using SOSL is because of the Long Text Areas that I am searching through.

Here is my Controller:

Public with sharing class SOSLController{
 Public List<Journal_Entry__c> entList {get;set;}
  
 Public String searchStr{get;set;}
   Public SOSLController(){
   }
   
  Public void soslDemo_method(){
 
   String userID = UserInfo.getUserId();


   entList = New List<Journal_Entry__c>();
   if(searchStr.length() > 1){
   String searchStr1 = '*'+searchStr+'*';
   String searchQuery = 'FIND \'' + searchStr1 + '\' IN ALL FIELDS RETURNING  Journal_Entry__c (Id,Name,DateText__c,Submitted_for_Interp_Count__c,Created_Self_Interp__c,Haven__c,UserID__c WHERE UserID__c LIKE :userID)';
   List<List <sObject>> searchList = search.query(searchQuery);
   entList = ((List<Journal_Entry__c>)searchList[0]);
   if(entList.size() == 0){
       apexPages.addmessage(new apexpages.message(apexpages.severity.Error, 'Sory, no results returned with matching string..'));
       return;
   }
   }
   else{
   apexPages.addmessage(new apexpages.message(apexpages.severity.Error, 'Please enter at least two characters..'));
   return;
   }
  }
}

And this is what I have so far with my Test...
You will notice that I give the userID string a user Id that works in my VF pages for the test I'm trying to do, but in the Controller, this Id is captured from the active user.
 

@isTest
public class TestSOSLController{ 

    public static testMethod void testSoslFixedResults() {

     PageReference myVfPage = Page.MyJournal;
     Test.setCurrentPage(myVfPage);

     SOSLController testCont = new SOSLController();

     String userID = '00555000001R62HAAS';
        
       Id [] fixedSearchResults= new Id[1];
       fixedSearchResults[0] = 'a0955000001ODaU';
       Test.setFixedSearchResults(fixedSearchResults);
       List<List<SObject>> searchList = [FIND 'test' 
                                         IN ALL FIELDS RETURNING 
                                            Journal_Entry__c(Id,Name,DateText__c,Submitted_for_Interp_Count__c,Created_Self_Interp__c,Haven__c,UserID__c 
                                                             WHERE UserID__c LIKE :userID LIMIT 1)];
    
    
            system.assert(searchList != null);
    }
}

I understand that SOSL has a special syntax to be used when Testing, based on this page "Adding SOSL Queries to Unit Tests" and you will see that I have attempted to use this, but I am obviously failing misserably.  

I would greatly appreciate any help I can get!

Hi!

I'm currently trying to work my way through the Trailhead "Get Started with Hybrid Development", but am having problems when I attempt to "forcedroid create".

I have a very simple extension to a custom object that I use for three reasons: 1, so make sure that the user's custom profile is being utilized, 2, the classification is set on this specific VF page and 3, the command buttons are specific to the VF page being used.

        }
    }            
}
}

I suspect that the problem with all of this has something to do with the rerendering after each onkeyup, but that wouldn't explain why other functions such as on page load and apex:actionFunction don't work...
I would greatly appreciate any insight!
