Development - Automated testing xRec = Rec in OnAfterModify

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

We are using the Microsoft Sales Test Library to create sales lines. We have an extension where we need to log certain changes to sales line fields under certain conditions (change log won't work for what we need)

We have a subscription on sales lines that works fine when we use the web client with keyboard and mouse (BC2020 wave 1)

[EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Table, Database::"Sales Line", 'OnAfterModifyEvent', '', true, true)]
local procedure LogEntrySalesLine(var Rec: Record "Sales Line"; var xRec: Record "Sales Line")
var
CU1: Codeunit "My CodeUnit";
begin
if Rec.IsTemporary then exit;
if (Rec.Quantity = 0) and (xRec.Quantity = 0) then exit; // This is always true when run from tests
if Rec.Type = Rec.Type::Item then
CU1.LogSalesLines(Rec, xRec);
end;


We create a sales line using SalesLibrary.CreateSalesLine and then do SalesLine.Validate(Quantity, 10) and SalesLine.Modify(true). In the event subscription, Rec and xRec have the same values for all fields

We then tried doing it without using the Microsoft Test Libraries.

SalesLine.Init();
SalesLine.Validate("Document Type", SalesHeader."Document Type");
SalesLine.Validate("Document No.", SalesHeader."No.");
RecRef.GetTable(SalesLine);
SalesLine.Validate("Line No.", LibraryUtility.GetNewLineNo(RecRef, SalesLine.FieldNo("Line No.")));
SalesLine.Insert(true);
SalesLine.Validate(Type, SalesLine.Type::Item);
SalesLine.Validate("No.", Item."No.");
SalesLine.Validate("Shipment Date", SalesHeader."Shipment Date");
if Qty <> 0 then
SalesLine.Validate(Quantity, Qty);
SalesLine.Modify(true);

Same problem

The only way we can get the test execute the code in the subscription and pass the assertions by using a TestPage:

var
SalesOrderSubform: TestPage "Sales Order Subform";

Begin
SalesOrderSubform.OpenEdit();
SalesOrderSubform.GoToKey(SalesDocTypeEnum::"Order", SalesHeader."No.", SalesLineNo);
SalesOrderSubform.Quantity.SetValue(10);
SalesOrderSubform.OK.Invoke();

    Hello,

    We currently do not have dedicated Dev support via the Dynamics 365 Business Central forums, but I wanted to provide you some additional resources to assist.  If you need assistance with debugging or coding I would recommend discussing this on one of our communities.

    I will open this up to the community in case they have something to add.

    Thanks.
