REQUIRED_FIELD_MISSING, Required fields are missing: [LastName, Company]

Hey there,

I heard about this tool on the Code Coverage podcast and wanted to give it a try. When I used it to create a Lead, I got an error message about missing LastName and Company. I thought Test Factory was supposed to fill those fields in for you?

Much appreciated,
Wes

Hi Wes,

This code is meant as a starting point for you to build on. For each object you need test data for, you should make sure that there is a defaults class specifying the values to go in that object. If you add something like this to the code, I think you'll get it to work.

public class LeadDefaults implements FieldDefaults {
    public Map<String, Object> getFieldDefaults() {
        return new Map<String, Object> {
            'LastName' => 'Last',
                            'Account'=>'Company'
        };
    }
}

An alternative is to use https://github.com/mbotos/SmartFactory-for-Force.com. It puts data in all fields.

Ah I see. Thank you! That makes much more sense.
