Help with Controller Extension test method - Parent/Child relationship

Hi there.

 

Found this code on the boards for a controller Extension and got it working ok, but am struggling with the test method.

 

How do I create a parent record and get it associated with the child record for the test ?? I think the relationship is messing me up ...

 

 

public class PostCommentExtension {
    public List<Headline_Comment__c> nhc {get; set;}
    private final Headline__c parHeadline;
    public PostCommentExtension(ApexPages.StandardController myController) {
        parHeadline=(Headline__c)myController.getrecord();
            nhc = new List<Headline_Comment__c>();
            Headline_Comment__c Comment = new Headline_Comment__c();
            Comment.Headline__c = parHeadline.id;
            nhc.add(Comment);
    }
    public PageReference save() {
        insert nhc;
        PageReference home = new PageReference('/headlines_with_comments?id='+parHeadline.id);
        home.setRedirect(true);
        return home;
    }
    public PageReference cancel() {
        PageReference back = new PageReference('/headlines_with_comments?id='+parHeadline.id);
        back.setRedirect(true);
        return back;
    }
}
 
 Does anyone have any code they can paste here so I can see how to get this running?  Sorry if this is basic ... Admin going on Developer and still learning.
 
Thank you.

I'd do something like the following:
 
 
Headline__c headline=new Headline__c();
// set any fields on the headline

insert headline;

// instantiate the extension controller, passing a standard controller
// populated with our headline

PostCommentExtension controller=new PostCommentExtensionController(new ApexPages.StandardController(headline));

controller.save();

Getting the following error when I try that:
 
Error: Compile Error: Invalid type: PostCommentExtensionController at line 30 column 45
 
 
    static testMethod void testPostCommentExtension() {
        // Create new Headline__c
        Headline__c headline = new Headline__c(Name='Test Headline1',Item__c='Test Item1');
        insert headline;
        
        // Instantiate the extension controller, passing a standard controller
        // populated with our headline
        
        PostCommentExtension controller=new PostCommentExtensionController(new ApexPages.StandardController(headline));

        controller.save();
    }

Simple typo - change PostCommentExtensionController to PostCommentExtension
