get set test method coverage

Hi

 

I have a visualforce controller with the following kind of get method

 

 

// For error handling
public Boolean error {
	get{
		if(error == null)
			error = false;
		return error;
	}
	set;
}
 I want to cover these lines in my test method.I tried using .getError() but it says method doesn't exists or in correct signature. Can someone let me knowhow to cover these lines test method?

These would show up as a property, so just use the .error
 
MyController UUT = new MyController();
UUT.error = true;

boolean TestError = UUT.error;

Are these lines showing up as not covered when you run your test?
 
In my experience, defining getter/setter through this 'decoration' mechanism, means that the methods aren't available at compile/test time.

Ya, they do show up as uncovered. I thought the getFieldName function would work but it doesn't.

Thanks. That does the trick. It was so simple and I was searching all over the net for the solution.

Nice!  I'd given up on 100% coverage when using these getters/setters.  Thanks a bunch JP.
