Can you help me to see whether the below is actually possible in Apex?
We're setting up Sharing Settings in our development Org and I want to have a quick way of knowing whether what we've built is correct (in stead of needing to go over all the test users, impersonating and validating), as well as to have a good way of knowing that the changes we make don't break anything that worked previously.
When I create an account of type Partner and login as a user with a Sales role, I'm able to see the Account record (and only those records). However, the below Apex test fails.
Sharing Setting example: Account OWDs are set to Private. There is a Sharing Setting (criteria based) that shares Accounts when Type = 'Prospect' to Sales roles.
Apex Test Class
private with sharing class Test_RoleAccess {
@TestSetup
private static void testSetup() {
// generate Sales User.
User testUser = Test_RoleAccess.generateUser('Sales'));
insert testUser;
User runAsUser = Test_RoleAccess.generateUser('CEO'));
// using runAs() to avoid Mixed DML error. Inserting Accounts in the
// actual testMethod does not change anything in behavior.
System.runAs(runAsUser) {
List<Account> testAccounts = new List<Account>{
// shared with sales user using criteria based sharing rule
new Account(Name = 'Sales Account', Type = 'Partner'),
// not shared with sales user
new Account(Name = 'Service Account', Type = 'Installation Partner')
};
insert testAccounts;
}
}
@IsTest
private static void testAccountAccess() {
// this assert passes, so Accounts are inserted
System.assertEquals(2, [SELECT Id FROM Account].size());
Test.startTest();
System.runAs(getUser('Sales')) {
List<Account> visibleAccounts = [SELECT Id FROM Account];
// this test fails: Sales Visibility Error: Expected: 1, Actual: 0
System.assertEquals(1, visibleAccounts.size(), 'Sales Visibility Error');
}
Test.stopTest();
}
private static User getUser(String userType) {
// gets the user based on the type
}
private static User generateUser(String roleName) {
// generates unique users with the role specified
}
}```
I feel like the above test should succeed, but it doesn't. Only reason I can think of is that the calculation of the sharing is seperate from the account insert transaction and is only finished after my test method has run. Any other takes here?
