How to avoid MIXED_DML_OPERATION error in Salesforce tests that create Users

Sometimes in Salesforce tests you need to create User objects to run part of the test as a speciifc type of 开发者_运维问答user.

However since the Salesforce Summer 08 update, attempts to create both User objects and normal objects (such as Accounts) in the same test lead to the following error:

MIXED_DML_OPERATION, DML operation on setup object is not permitted after you have updated a non-setup object (or vice versa): User, original object: Account

Note that the error doesn't happen when you run the tests from Eclipse/Force.com IDE, but it does happen when you deploy to Salesforce and then run the tests from within Salesforce.

How do I re-write my tests to avoid this error?

Here's a simple example of a test that causes the error:

static testMethod void test_mixed_dmlbug() {        
    Profile p = [select id from profile where name='(some profile)'];
    UserRole r = [Select id from userrole where name='(some role)'];
    User u = new User(alias = 'standt', email='standarduser@testorg.com', 
            emailencodingkey='UTF-8', lastname='Testing', 
            languagelocalekey='en_US', 
            localesidkey='en_US', profileid = p.Id, userroleid = r.Id,
            timezonesidkey='America/Los_Angeles', 
            username='standarduser@testorg.com');
    Account a = new Account(Firstname='Terry', Lastname='Testperson');
    insert a;

    System.runAs(u) {
        a.PersonEmail = 'test@madeupaddress.com';
        update a;
    }

}


Not many Salesforce people on here yet, I guess.

I found a solution, I don't know why it works, but it works.

All parts of the test that access normal objects need to be wrapped in a System.runAs that explicitly uses the current user, like this:

User thisUser = [ select Id from User where Id = :UserInfo.getUserId() ];
System.runAs ( thisUser ) {
    // put test setup code in here
}

So, the example text_mixed_dmlbug method given in the question, would become:

static testMethod void test_mixed_dmlbug() {  
    User u;
    Account a;      
    User thisUser = [ select Id from User where Id = :UserInfo.getUserId() ];
    System.runAs ( thisUser ) {
        Profile p = [select id from profile where name='(some profile)'];
        UserRole r = [Select id from userrole where name='(some role)'];
        u = new User(alias = 'standt', email='standarduser@testorg.com', 
            emailencodingkey='UTF-8', lastname='Testing', 
            languagelocalekey='en_US', 
            localesidkey='en_US', profileid = p.Id, userroleid = r.Id,
            timezonesidkey='America/Los_Angeles', 
            username='standarduser@testorg.com');
        a = new Account(Firstname='Terry', Lastname='Testperson');
        insert a;
    }
    System.runAs(u) {
        a.PersonEmail = 'test@madeupaddress.com';
        update a;
    }

}

Then the MIXED_DML_OPERATION errors stop happening.


It seems like you've found a workaround. I just wanted to try and clear up why you where getting this error.

I think you are running into this issue (per http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/Content/apex_dml_non_mix_sobjects.htm):

sObjects That Cannot Be Used Together in DML Operations

Some sObjects require that you perform DML operations on only one type per transaction. For example, you cannot insert an account, then insert a user or a group member in a single transaction. The following sObjects cannot be used together in a transaction:

* Group1
* GroupMember
* QueueSObject
* User2
* UserRole
* UserTerritory
* Territory

Important The primary exception to this is when you are using the runAs method in a test.

In addition, the Summer 08 Release notes (that link is a PDF) say:

In previous releases, in a single transaction that involved triggers, you could perform DML operations on more than one type of sObject, for example, you could insert an account, then insert a user. As of Summer '08, you can only perform DML operations on a single type of sObject from the following list of sObjects.

For example, you cannot insert an account, then insert a user, or update a group, then insert a group member.

  • Group
  • GroupMember
  • QueueSObject
  • User
  • UserRole
  • UserTerritory
  • Territory

In addition, User and Territory now support the insert and update DML operations, and UserRole now supports the insert, update delete and upsert DML operations.

Apex DML operations are not supported on the following sObjects:

  • AccountTerritoryAssignmentRule
  • AccountTerritoryAssignmentRuleItem
  • UserAccountTeamMember


This behavior is actually documented in the salesforce documentation: http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/index_Left.htm#StartTopic=Content/apex_dml_non_mix_sobjects.htm?SearchType. Read where it say "Important The primary exception to this is when you are using the runAs method in a test"


Just found this in the documentation:

Other Uses of runAs

You can also use the runAs method to perform mixed DML operations in your test by enclosing the DML operations within the runAs block. In this way, you bypass the mixed DML error that is otherwise returned when inserting or updating setup objects together with other sObjects. See sObjects That Cannot Be Used Together in DML Operations.

So it looks like the RunAs workaround is not a workaround but is assumed by Salesforce as the only way of going by the mixed DML issue.

Hope this helps

Reference


This error is so common when attempting to create user and other objects records in a single transaction in apex.

Workaround in apex class/trigger : use future method for creating user when encountered the error

Workaround in test class : don't try creating a new user data, instead use ))>
