About this question
I understand that @TestVisible is used to allow Unit Tests access to private and protected methods.
What I was wondering is, when is it appropriate to use this annotation?
For example, I have a list generated in a wrapper class that allows selection and processing of Users as below:
public class uUser {
public User user {
get;
set;
}
public Boolean selected {
get;
set;
}
public uUser(User u) {
user = u;
selected = false;
}
}
I then used the following Apex to select all or deselect all these Users:
private Boolean isAllUsersSelected {
get {
if (isAllUsersSelected == null) {
isAllUsersSelected = false;
}
return isAllUsersSelected;
}
set;
}
public PageReference selectAllUsers() {
if (isAllUsersSelected == false) {
isAllUsersSelected = true;
for (uUser user : userList) {
user.selected = true;
}
}
else {
isAllUsersSelected = false;
for (uUser user : userList) {
user.selected = false;
}
}
return null;
}
Because this depends a lot on whether the isAllUsersSelected variable is true or false, I wondered whether or not it is a good idea and appropriate to use a @TestVisible method, given its access modifier is private?
