    Hi , I’ve written a Trigger to assign a task whenever we insert an OpportunityTeamMember to an Opportunity and i also written a Test Case for it but the code coverage is 0%. Can you please check it and tell me where it is going wrong.

    Trigger :

    trigger TaskOnOppTeamMember on OpportunityTeamMember (after insert) {

    list NewTask = new list();

    if(trigger.IsInsert) {

    for(OpportunityTeamMember oppTeam : trigger.new) {

    Task tasksInsert = new Task();

    tasksInsert.WhatId = OppTeam.Opportunityid;

    tasksInsert.OwnerId = oppTeam.Userid;

    tasksInsert.Subject = ‘Great Daddy’;

    tasksInsert.ActivityDate = date.today();

    tasksInsert.Priority = ‘Normal’;

    NewTask.add(tasksInsert);

    }

    }

    Database.insert(NewTask);

    }

    Test Case :

    @isTest

    public class TestCreateTaskTrigger {

    public static testMethod void createTaskTrigger() {

    Opportunity opp = new Opportunity();

    opp.Name = ‘TestOppo’;

    opp.CloseDate = System.Today();

    opp.StageName = ‘Prospecting’;

    insert opp;

    OpportunityTeamMember otMember = new OpportunityTeamMember();

    otMember.OpportunityId = opp.Id;

    otMember.UserId = ‘005900000023dh0’;

    otMember.TeamMemberRole = ‘CFO’;

    insert otMember;

    }

    }

    Thanks,!

      How you are adding this hardcoded line “otMember.UserId = ‘005900000023dh0’;”.

      You need to first insert User and then use ID of inserted user in above line.

        Hi, I am sorry i am brand new to salesforce so please dont think it as silly doubt and help me. I’ve changed it to below code still it is showing 0% code coverage but the Test is Pass.

        @isTest
        public class TestCreateTaskTrigger {
        public static testMethod void createTaskTrigger() {

        User u1 = [SELECT Id, Name FROM User WHERE Alias=’mruiz’];
        System.debug(‘1111111111111’+u1.Name);

        Opportunity opp = new Opportunity();
        opp.Name = ‘TestOppo’;
        opp.CloseDate = System.Today();
        opp.StageName = ‘Prospecting’;
        System.debug(‘11111111111111’+opp);
        insert opp;

        OpportunityTeamMember otMember = new OpportunityTeamMember();
        otMember.OpportunityId = opp.Id;
        otMember.UserId = u1.Id;
        otMember.TeamMemberRole = ‘CFO’ ;
        System.debug(‘222222222222222’+otMember);
        insert otMember;
        }
        }

        Thanks,!

          How you are checking test coverage ? Navigate to Setup | Develope | Apex Test Execution and from this place select your test class and run it. Coverage line will be visible in Development Console.

            Hi, After Running the Test class , I am refreshing the Trigger Detail Page where we can see the code coverage : 0% (0/15).

            Thanks,!
