Message

Apex unit test classes should have at least one System.runAs() call

Description

Example

@isTest
private class TestRunAs {
   public static testMethod void testRunAs() {
        // Setup test data
        // Create a unique UserName
        String uniqueUserName = 'standarduser' + DateTime.now().getTime() + '@testorg.com';
        // This code runs as the system user
        Profile p = [SELECT Id FROM Profile WHERE Name='Standard User'];
        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=uniqueUserName);

        System.runAs(u) {
              // The following code runs as user 'u'
              System.debug('Current User: ' + UserInfo.getUserName());
              System.debug('Current Profile: ' + UserInfo.getProfileId());
          }
    }
