Walkthrough: Create a Test with Confirmation Dialog

项目
06/05/2016

Most tests run automatically without a dependency on the user interface. However, in some cases, you want to test functionality that requires user activity, such as choosing the OK button in a confirmation dialog. This walkthrough demonstrates how to use test handler functions in a test that includes a confirmation dialog.

About This Walkthrough

This walkthrough illustrates the following tasks:

Creating two test handler functions in a test codeunit.

Prerequisites

To complete this walkthrough, you will need:

Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018 with a developer license.
The CRONUS International Ltd. demo data company.

Story

Isaac is a business application developer working for CRONUS International Ltd. Earlier, he started using thee application test libraries to help him test codeunit 70, Purch-Calc.Discount, which is a codeunit in the CRONUS International Ltd. database. Now, he wants to extend his test coverage to include testing that the VAT amount remains the same when the user chooses the Price Including VAT field.

Creating a Test Codeunit and Test Handler Function

Isaac creates a new codeunit and specifies that it is a test codeunit. He defines the scenario that he wants to verify, adds a test handler function to test the VAT functionality.

To create the test codeunit and test handler function

In the development environment, in Object Designer, create a new codeunit.
In the Properties window, in the Subtype field, select Test to specify that this is a test codeunit.
In the C/AL Globals window, on the Variables tab, enter the following variables.

Name DataType Subtype

LibrarySales Codeunit Library - Sales

LibraryRandom Codeunit Library - Random

Assert Codeunit Assert

LibraryERM Codeunit Library - ERM

This adds 4 codeunits from the application test libraries as global variables so that you can use them in your test code.
In the C/AL Globals window, on the Functions tab, enter HandlerSampleTest. This is the name of the test function.
On the Functions tab, choose Locals.
In the C/AL Locals window, on the Variables tab, enter the following variables, which you will use in the HandlerSampleTest test function.

Name DataType Subtype

SalesHeader Record Sales Header

SalesLine Record Sales Line

ItemQty Decimal

VATBaseOriginal Decimal

Important

Make sure that you add these entries on the Variables tab, not on the Parameters tab. If you create them on the Parameters tab, you get an error when you compile that says the test method signature is invalid.

Name	DataType	Subtype
LibrarySales	Codeunit	Library - Sales
LibraryRandom	Codeunit	Library - Random
Assert	Codeunit	Assert
LibraryERM	Codeunit	Library - ERM

Name	DataType	Subtype
SalesHeader	Record	Sales Header
SalesLine	Record	Sales Line
ItemQty	Decimal
VATBaseOriginal	Decimal

In the C/AL Editor, in the HandlerSampleTest function, enter the following code:

// [SCENARIO] When the user chooses "Price Including VAT" and agrees to update sales lines, the VAT Amount must stay nearly the same.  
//[GIVEN] Basic sales document with item  
ItemQty := LibraryRandom.RandInt(100);  
LibrarySales.CreateSalesDocumentWithItem(SalesHeader,SalesLine,SalesHeader."Document Type"::Invoice,'','',ItemQty,'',0D);  
VATBaseOriginal := SalesLine."VAT Base Amount";  

//[WHEN] The user chooses the "Price Including VAT" field and agrees to update the sales lines (handler)  
SalesHeader.VALIDATE("Prices Including VAT",NOT SalesHeader."Prices Including VAT");  
SalesHeader.MODIFY(TRUE);  
//[THEN] Updated VAT Base Amount is the same as originally calculated  
SalesLine.FIND;  
Assert.AreNearlyEqual(SalesLine."VAT Base Amount",VATBaseOriginal,LibraryERM.GetAmountRoundingPrecision,'');

Isaac first defines the test scenario [SCENARIO], then details it with the GIVEN-THEN-WHEN notation. Finally, he adds the C/AL code. The code in this test function prepares the test data by creating a sales document with a random quantity of items in a sales line. Then, emulates that a user has chosen the Prices Including VAT field, and then validates that the VAT Base Amount is the same as before, more or less. The test raises an error if the results are not as expected.

Isaac has created the test function. Next, he runs the test in the CAL Test Tool window in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client.

Compile and save the codeunit.

Running the Test

In the development environment, in Object Designer, select page ID 130401, and then choose Run.
On the Home tab, choose Get Test Codeunits, and then choose Select Test Codeunits.
In the window that appears, set a filter for the new test codeunit, and then choose the OK button.
Choose the new test, and then, on the Home tab, choose Run Selected.

The test fails with the error “Unhandled UI: Confirm”. Next, Isaac creates a function to handle the confirmation dialog.

Adding a Test Function to Handle the Confirmation Dialog

In the test codeunit, Isaac adds a second function that handles the confirmation dialog for accepting to update sales lines.

To add a confirmation handler function

In the C/AL Globals window, on the Functions tab, in the Name field, enter ConfirmationHandler.
In the Properties window for the new function, set the FunctionType property to ConfirmHandler.
In the C/AL Locals window for the ConfirmationHandler function, on the Parameters tab, enter the following parameters.

Var Name DataType Subtype Length

Question Text 1024

Yes Reply Boolean
In the C/AL Locals window, on the Variables tab, enter the following variables.

Name DataType Subtype

SalesHeader Record Sales Header

SalesLine Record Sales Line
In the C/AL Locals window, on the Text Constants tab, add a text constant, ConfUpdateLines, with the following text in English (United States): You have modified the %1 field. The recalculation of VAT may cause penny differences, so you must check the amounts afterward. Do you want to update the %2 field on the lines to reflect the new value of %1?.
In the C/AL Editor, in the ConfirmationHandler function, enter the following code.
```
IF Question = STRSUBSTNO(ConfUpdateLines,SalesHeader.FIELDCAPTION("Prices Including VAT"),SalesLine.FIELDCAPTION("Unit Price")) THEN  
  Reply:=TRUE;  
```
The code in this function emulates that the user chooses the OK button when prompted after they have chosen the Prices Including VAT field for the sales document.
To link the new confirmation handler to the HandlerSampleTest function, in the C/AL Globals window, on the Functions tab, choose the HandlerSampleTest function, and then, set the HandlerFunctions property to ConfirmationHandler.
Compile and save the codeunit.

When you run the test again, the new confirmation handler handles the confirmation dialog, and the test passes successfully.
