When writing Unit Tests, how to initialize the CreatedDateTime of test data to a past DateTime?

Posted on by Kai Cheng
Hi all,
 
In FNO, we have a logic to modify the session date, in order to operate on backdate.
 
Now, I want to create some test data in a past period in unit tests.
 
For example, table InventDim has a system field CreatedDateTime. I need to create bundle of InventDim records with CreatedDateTime = one year ago.
 
How can I achieve this?
 
I tried with DateTimeUtil::setSystemDateTimeWithCascadeOption(transDateTime, true), but it is not helpful.
 
Thanks.

    That's irrelevant. You see classes in AOT even if they internal, and you see classes for unit testing (e.g. SysTestRunner) there as well. Therefore this is not an answer.
     
    I guess they're either not included in the standard application (it's internal development of your company and useless as a suggestion here, or they actually aren't X++ classes. Maybe they're .NET classes and you forgot to mentioned their namespace (at least). It would have been clear if you actually answered my previous question.
     
    Please clarify that, otherwise your answer is not useful. If you have no idea, allow us to help you by providing more information, such as mentioning when you see these classes used.

    Hi, Martin,
    I think these codes are for internal usage only. They are used for unit tests of functionality.

    Kai, My application (10.0.37) doesn't contain these classes (AtlDateTimeHelper and InventTransferOrderCreateFromSalesLineTest).
    What is your version and which model(s) contains these classes?

    Found a class AtlDateTimeHelper, not sure whether this can apply to my scenario.
     
    Refer to InventTransferOrderCreateFromSalesLineTest.xml
