Testing problem with RunAs() and Schema isCreatable() method

Question

I create a test method and I do not understand why the result is a failure.

1, we have a TestProfile Custom profile with create permission on Account object.

2, The next snippet of code run with failure:

@isTest
public class testTestProfile {

    @isTest
    public static void testAccountCreatablePermission(){
        Profile p = [SELECT Id FROM Profile WHERE Name='TestProfile']; 
        system.debug(p);
        User u = new User(Alias = 'standt', Email='[email protected]', 
        EmailEncodingKey='UTF-8', LastName='Testing', LanguageLocaleKey='en_US', 
        LocaleSidKey='en_US', ProfileId = p.Id, 
        TimeZoneSidKey='America/Los_Angeles', UserName='[email protected]');

        System.runAs(u){
            Schema.DescribeSObjectResult dsr = Schema.SObjectType.Account;
            System.assert(dsr.isCreateable());
        }        
    }    
}

Can anybody explain why the test case is fail?

Answer 1

I tried a similar snippet as above and it works like a charm for me. It gets me correct user/correct profile and assertion does not fail.

I tried it using a standard profile as well as a custom profile. I would go back and check 'TestProfile' again and see if I have given only "Read" permission on account or "Read" and "Create". I would also check if User Licence of this profile is really "Salesforce".

@isTest
private class TestRunAs {
   public static testMethod void testRunAs() {
      // Setup test data
      // This code runs as the system user
      Profile p = [SELECT Id FROM Profile WHERE Name='Custom-Hiring Manager']; 
      User u = new User(Alias = 'standt', Email='[email protected]', 
      EmailEncodingKey='UTF-8', LastName='Testing', LanguageLocaleKey='en_US', 
      LocaleSidKey='en_US', ProfileId = p.Id, 
      TimeZoneSidKey='America/Los_Angeles', UserName='[email protected]');
     System.runAs(u) {
         // The following code runs as user 'u' 
         System.debug('Current User: ' + UserInfo.getUserName());
         System.debug('Current Profile: ' + UserInfo.getProfileId()); 
         Schema.DescribeSObjectResult dsr = Schema.SObjectType.Account;
            System.assert(dsr.isCreateable());
      }
   }
}

Let me know!

Answer 2

The problem solved by itself. And the RunAs method works independently user insert using DML operation.
