I have achieved 100% testing on my classes and trigger, but 0% for the system provided classes XMLDom and StartHere.  I have seen some ambiguous posts about this, but have not found source code I can download to simply test these classes.  Is there a simple solution to this issue.  This problem must come up for everyone who goes to deploy their first application; it seems logical for SalesForce to provide the test code if the classes are automatically included, so everyone doesn't have to solve the same problem over and over again.  Thanks for your help.

I am getting this error when this method is run.Specifically the remove(). I tried deepcloning a copy, and removing that. Doesn't work. Any solutions ???

System.FinalException: Collection is read-only

private void createExcludeList(){
            
            Map<String, Schema.SObjectField> fieldmap1 = Schema.SObjectType.Account.fields.getMap();

            List<String> fieldExcludeList = new List<String> {
                'LastModifiedDate', 'LastActivityDate', 'SystemModstamp'};
    
            for(integer i=0; i<(fieldmap1.size()-fieldExcludeList.size()); i++)
                fieldmap1.remove(fieldExcludeList[i]);      //LINE THAT IS CAUSING THE ERROR

}

This code: 

		  String s = (String) myValueHolder;
		  System.debug('val: ' + s );
		  if (s != null) {
			  String[] frontBack = s.split('.');
			  System.debug('FB:' + frontBack.size());
			  if(frontBack.size() > 1)
			  {
		  		System.debug('WOO I made it');
			  }

Works fine the first time I run it on a page. However, every subsequent time the split returns a list with 0 elements.

For instance, here is a selection from the debug log:

12:53:26.175|USER_DEBUG|[16,5]|DEBUG|val: 920.0  <===  has a period!
12:53:26.175|METHOD_EXIT|[16,5]|debug(ANY)

12:53:26.175|METHOD_EXIT|[18,18]|split(String)
12:53:26.175|METHOD_ENTRY|[20,6]|System.debug(String)
12:53:26.175|METHOD_ENTRY|[20,27]|LIST:String.size()

12:53:26.175|METHOD_EXIT|[20,6]|debug(ANY)
12:53:26.175|METHOD_ENTRY|[21,9]|LIST:String.size()

Any ideas?  I've tried saving it to a list, array, initializing the list elsewhere but nothing seems to change the simple fact that the split method doesn't work. 

global BatchUpdateAdmissionsGoals(String q, String e, String f, String v){

}


global void finish(Database.BatchableContext BC){
System.debug('*** Opp list size ' + opportunityList.size());

I am trying to write some batch Apex. When the following anonymous code block

 string query = 
            'SELECT Id, OwnerID, Academic_Start_Date__c, Date_Booked__c  ' +
            'FROM Opportunity WHERE ID=\'006S0000003imhy\''; 
             
         
        BatchUpdateAdmissionsGoals updateAdmissionsGoalsJob = new BatchUpdateAdmissionsGoals (query, '', '', '');
        ID admissionsGoalsBatchJobID = Database.executeBatch(updateAdmissionsGoalsJob); 

:

When I call the the debug statement that gets the opportunityList.size() the first time and I get 1 as expected. But when I call it in the Finish() method again, I get 0. It doesn't seem to keep the the items in opportunityList when it gets to the Finish() method

I just installed the Version: Winter '11 (20.0.0) Force.com plug-in this morning.

Now I can't see and debug logs when running Unit Tests. The window in the bottom right only contains "No Debug Logs"

The debog log does show up when running in the browser.

My other developers are having this same problem. Is there a setting I'm missing? Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks

I updated my IDE plugin this morning and attempted running my unit tests.  The debug log window is empty.  I then attempted installing Eclipse 3.6 (x86 and x64), with the new plugin and they both acted the same.  Is there some obscure setting I am missing?  I sure wish I could see my debug logs through the IDE.

PS - yes I attempted to use the standalone installer for both x86 and x64 before posting here.

Hi

I was looking at if there are any good practices in using triggers.

Say, should I slice down all the code in a trigger and move it across into a class/controller ?

If I were to use more of the trigger's features like trigger.oldmap or trigger.newmap or trigger.new or trigger.old.  Is it still a good practice to still move these into the controllers (through assignments) to functions?

If you think that those are not good practices, please do let me know.

This question is in regard with long term maintenance perspective. 

There is a very important use case that requires callouts in triggers. The ideal way to validate data entery with an external service would be in a trigger. This requires a callout that is not async. It would be great if salesforce could support this use case!!

I'm trying to catch a soql query governor limit and display using ApexPages.Message, but it doesn't display the message correctly in my VF page.

Here is my code:

If the query returns more than 1000 records, I want to catch the error and display at the top of the VF page that the query limit has been exceeded.  I can put in a limit clause on the query to a 1000, but can't I catch the error?

Hello,

I have to make a comparison in an if statement that takes two date time field values (Say , createdDate and LastModifiedDate) from two different records. These are values from Historical tables taht track field changes so in essence I am trying to see if tw ofield changes on these two records were made in the same minute.

So need a way to take these two date times from these records and see if they have been edited/created within the same minute. 

May be an easy fix but I cannot find anything in DateTime documentation.

Thank You.!

As far as I can tell, there is no way to natively iterate through more than 10,000 records without using an @future method or an action poller from a Visualforce page. There is a page documenting a for loop which uses QueryMore but as far as I can tell that does not actually work with > 10,000 records.

So, if I want to construct a json String including my 40,000 records what should do and output it to a Visualforce page what should I do?

It seems I have the following options;

(1) Asynchronously construct a Blob with a list of Strings as each reaches the maximum String size. The problem then? No way to save the blob...

(2) Create a text file via APEX that is not dependent on a VF page to store the data? But I don't think you can do this via a VF page (cannot be generated asyncronously) or text file (no idea how to do this)...

(3) Export the information to another webservice, convert it into a text file, bring it back in as a Static Resource, read the contents, in from the text file (seems possible).

(4) Create an action poller which gradually brings in the information I need for my page (will not be available on load and probably will require multiple rerenders which could make things ugly).

Anyone have more and/or better ideas or care to recommend one of the above?  Sample code also greately aprpeciated....

I have achieved 100% testing on my classes and trigger, but 0% for the system provided classes XMLDom and StartHere.  I have seen some ambiguous posts about this, but have not found source code I can download to simply test these classes.  Is there a simple solution to this issue.  This problem must come up for everyone who goes to deploy their first application; it seems logical for SalesForce to provide the test code if the classes are automatically included, so everyone doesn't have to solve the same problem over and over again.  Thanks for your help.
