Test Class with Account Transfer

Question

When the account records transferred to another user, the associated open opportunities automatically transferred to the new account owner without firing the opportunity trigger.

See my post (Account Owner changes Opportunity Owner?)

So I added code in account trigger to invoke the opportunity trigger by updating a hidden field on opportunity.

But in test class, when I change the account's ownerid, the associated opportunity ownerid is not changed by system automatically. And if I manually change the opportunity ownerid in the test class, it's like testing the opporutnity trigger.

So what's my options here? Thanks

private void updateOpptyOwnerRoleInfo()
{
System.debug(LoggingLevel.INFO,'Enter method UpdateOpptyOwnerRoleInfo of AccountHandler');
if (isBefore && isUpdate)
{
    List<Id> lstAcctIds = new List<Id>();
    for (Account acct : newList)
    {
        Account oldAcct = oldMap.get(acct.Id);
        if (acct.OwnerId != oldAcct.OwnerId)
        {
            lstAcctIds.add(acct.Id);
        }
    }
    if (lstAcctIds.size() > 0)
    {
        System.debug(LoggingLevel.INFO,'Number of Account updated: '+lstAcctIds.size());
        For(Opportunity opp : [Select Id, HiddenUpdateFlip__c from Opportunity where AccountId in :lstAcctIds]){
            opp.HiddenUpdateFlip__c='OVERRIDE:UPDATEOPPTYOWNERROLEINFO';
            accountDispatcher.sObjUpdLIST.add((sObject)opp);
            //OpportunityDispatcher.preventRecursion = true;
        }

    }
}
}

You cannot accomplish the EXACT process with Apex as you do in the UI Account Transfer Records.

In your test, all you can do is simulate the process..

1. We know that in the UI, the Opportunity triggers do not fire

So in your test class, you will have to simply change the Account owners, then update the opportunity owners.

When you update the opportunity owners, your trigger will fire and you can assert your results.

To test the account trigger part, you will have to stop the opportunity trigger from running when you update the opps. Then you can set the flag on the Account and test that the opps were updated appropriately.

Unfortunately you have to mock up the process as there is no way to replicate exactly in Apex what happens on this process in the UI.
