Description

There are some SObject types that cannot be instantiated through this factory. Some of those errors are related to required fields missing. I think the only workaround would be to explicitly set those missing attributes to something?

Some Examples

ActiveScratchOrg

• Code

TestDataFactory.createSObject('ActiveScratchOrg');

• Error

TestDataFactory.TestDataFactoryException: Unable to insert "ActiveScratchOrg" records: REQUIRED_FIELD_MISSING: Required fields are missing: [ScratchOrg] []

ContentVersion

• Code

TestDataFactory.createSObject('ContentVersion');

• Error

TestDataFactory.TestDataFactoryException: Unable to insert "ContentVersion.contentdocument" records: CANNOT_INSERT_UPDATE_ACTIVATE_ENTITY: An unexpected error occurred. []

DuplicateRecordSet

• Code

TestDataFactory.createSObject('DuplicateRecordSet');

• Error

TestDataFactory.TestDataFactoryException: Unable to insert "DuplicateRecordSet" records: REQUIRED_FIELD_MISSING: Specify a value for the Duplicate Rule ID field. []

Hey,

Im getting the following error installing through UI.

Also not working using sfdx

On the examples page, the example for "Create a list of 5 Account sObjects with different names and a same description" is missing a comma after the object in the construction of the map.

It should look like:

List<Account> accList = TestDataFactory.createSObjectList('Account', new Map<String,Object>{
  'Name' => new List<String>{'Google','Amazon','Facebook','Apple','Microsoft'},
  'Description' => 'Same description'
},5);

Hi, is it possible to set different required field and default values based on the record type?

I have Person account enabled in the org and I'm getting the following errors right after installing the TestDataFactory package.

Hey,

really happy with this library. Just one thing: The debug log size is really high. Is there anyway to not have debug statements from this package appear?

When creating records in bulk it would be helpful to provide a smaller list of values and have them reused in the output.

For example:

List<Book__c> myBooks = TestDataFactory.createSObjectList('Books__c', new Map<String, Object>{
    'Author__c' => new List<String>{'Vonnegut', 'Bukowski', 'Herbert', 'Murakami'},
    'Title__c'  => 'Book-{!index}'
}, 100);

/*
* Ideal output would look like:
*
* Book__c{author__c='Vonnegut', title__c=Book-1}
* Book__c{author__c='Bukowski', title__c=Book-2}
* Book__c{author__c='Herbert', title__c=Book-3}
* Book__c{author__c='Murakami', title__c=Book-4}
* Book__c{author__c='Vonnegut', title__c=Book-5}
* etc.
*/

Currently, if you were to write code like the above you end up with an out of bounds error:
TestDataFactoryException: Unable to get the value for the field "author__c"

Using a modulus operation (or something similar) to loop through a list would reduce the amount of code to initialize records while also giving variety to a large group of created records.

This is a very helpful, easy-to-use helper class.

One thing that could make it more useful is an ability to specify fields you'd like the helper class to invent data for.

The helper class is already inventing data for any "required" fields it comes across.

If there were a syntax to specify other fields for which it'd be desirable for it to make up completely random data, it would be even more useful.

Bear with me, as I am just breaking into development...

But, in the example "Create 10 Cases related to 10 Accounts" it errors our when you use AccountId in the Case list. You have to use Account or else you get the error:

The field "accountidid" does not exist on "Case" or the value type provided is incorrect Original error message : Invalid field accountidid for Case.

I also attached a screen grab:

Also - FWIW - This was in a brand new vanilla dev org.

Just wanted to let you know so you can update the examples in the docs.

Thanks! Love it so far!

Thank you for examining the performance impact of using this library.

I'm having a hard time understanding what the results imply. Are test results for test cases 5 and 6 good? How much time would a test case take which does the same without your library, e.g. manually composes those objects and inserts them into the database in bulks?

Hello, getting this error while running tests.

TestDataFactory.TestDataFactoryException: Unable to insert "QuoteLineItem.product2" records: 
DUPLICATE_VALUE: duplicate value found: <unknown> duplicates value on record with id: <unknown> [Name=test0].

Seems 'TestDataFactory' doesn't count sames object number, and if creating record which depends on object 'X' and object 'Y' which depends also on 'X', two objects of 'X' will be created, but with same 'Name', that is causing my error.

It simply solved by specifying the name for one of 'X' objects, so another 'X' is default 'test0'.
It would be great to make the counter, to prevent this error.

Hi @benahm - Well done on this library. It seems easy to use and will definitely be useful in my org. Can you provide an example of how to use the framework for custom objects? It isn't clear how to define default values for custom objects.

I'm using this amazing library in one of my project, and when trying to deploy through SFDX the content of the project, it fails on the TestDataFactory_Test file with the following error:

*** Deploying v52.0 metadata with SOAP API v53.0 connection ***

It seems that the Campaign object is not available on the instance, which prevents the test data class to be deployed.
How would you solve this? Is there a way to modify the TestDataFactory_Test file to only execute this code if the related object exists in the target org?

Thanks

Can't install the package in PROD because Test Data Factory is available only in BETA version.

When person account enabled

Schema.DescribeFieldResult fieldDesc = Schema.getGlobalDescribe().get('Account').getDescribe().fields.getMap().get('name').getDescribe();

=> fieldDesc.isNillable() = true

when creating account:

(Account)TDF.createSObject('Account');

TDF.TestDataFactoryException: Unable to insert "Account" records: REQUIRED_FIELD_MISSING: Required fields are missing: [Name] []

In the TDF, this method return false on account name:

private Boolean isDefaultValueRequired(Schema.DescribeFieldResult fieldDesc){
    return 
    !fieldDesc.isDefaultedOnCreate() // does not have a defaut value on creation
    && !fieldDesc.isAutoNumber() // is not an auto number
    && !fieldDesc.isNillable() // is required
    && fieldDesc.isCreateable(); // value can be set on creation 
}

Quick question - Can you insert records by external ID using this test data factory?
