Multiple Developer Edition environments

I created a free Developer Edition (DE) account to just get OAuth with Salesforce working. I would like to work on some of the Trailhead lessons, but want to do so in a different environment / org. I've seen that you can have multple DE's, but I can't figure out how to set that up. What am I missing?

Thanks, 
Dan

Hi Dan,
The only thing that needs to be different when setting up a second org is the username. You want to register the new dev org using the same email address or another valid one that you can use to activate things like your org and when enabling domains and lightning experience.

You can use this link (https://developer.salesforce.com/signup) (https://developer.salesforce.com/signup) to go and sign up for a new developer org at any time. There is no limit to how many you can have.

access first element in a set

How can I access the first element in a set?  Example in a list, you can use this to get the first element in the list  

 

Integer x = xList.get(0);

 

What would be a quick equivalent way of doing this in a set?

string firstElement = null;
for (string setElement : setElements) {
        firstElement = setElement;
        break;
}

 This would be (marginally) faster, since you break early.

 

You can also:

 

string firstelement =
 (new list<string>(setelements) )[0] );

 Just make sure setElements.isEmpty() is false.

Apex Test Classes: "Attempt to de-reference a null object" error

Hi, I wrote a trigger and a test class, but when testing I get below error: 

System.DmlException: Update failed. First exception on row 0 with id 003M000000Zc1NaIAJ; first error: CANNOT_INSERT_UPDATE_ACTIVATE_ENTITY, PopulateContactAreaCode: execution of BeforeUpdate
caused by: System.NullPointerException: Attempt to de-reference a null object
Trigger.PopulateContactAreaCode: line 5, column 1: []

Trigger: 
trigger PopulateContactAreaCode on Contact (before insert, before update) {

    for(Contact contact : Trigger.new)
    {
        string AreaCode = CountryRegion__c.getInstance(contact.MailingCountry).Area_Code__c;
        contact.Area_Code__c = AreaCode;
    }
}

test class: 
@isTest
public class PopulateContactAreaCodeTest
{
    static testMethod void attTriggerTest1()
    {
        test.startTest();
        Account acct = new Account(id = '001M000000iLhTL', Name = 'Test Account ', Mailing_Country__c = 'Afghanistan');
        update acct;      
        Contact con = new Contact(id = '003M000000Zc1Na', LastName = 'Test Contact', Account = acct, Email = 'test@test.com', Mailing_Country__c = 'Afghanistan', MailingCountry = 'Afghanistan');
        update con;
        delete con;
        test.stopTest();
    }
}

any idea what I added wrong?

thank you in advance

Because you're running a unit test, it doesn't see any data, and therefore no custom settings exist.  You'll need to insert the custom setting before you insert the Contact record.  Here's an example:
 

static testMethod void attTriggerTest1()
    {
        insert new CountryRegion__c(Name='Afghanistan',Area_Code__c='123');

        test.startTest();
        Account acct = new Account(id = '001M000000iLhTL', Name = 'Test Account ', Mailing_Country__c = 'Afghanistan');
        update acct;     
        Contact con = new Contact(id = '003M000000Zc1Na', LastName = 'Test Contact', Account = acct, Email = 'test@test.com', Mailing_Country__c = 'Afghanistan', MailingCountry = 'Afghanistan');
        update con;
        delete con;
        test.stopTest();
    }

Parse String Json "_id" to "id" Apex Object

Hi guys,
¿How can I parse a string json with a complex attribute name "_id"?

I'm trying to parse the next json:

 

[{"_id":"55d66226726b611100aaf741","replacement":false,"quantity":5,"name":"Generator 1000 kW","maintenanceperiod":365,"lifespan":120,"cost":5000,"sku":"100003"},{"_id":"55d66226726b611100aaf742","replacement":true,"quantity":183,"name":"Cooling Fan","maintenanceperiod":0,"lifespan":0,"cost":300,"sku":"100004"}]
The Class that I created is:
  
public class Equipment {
    public final String id;
    public final Boolean replacement;
    public final Integer quantity;
    public final String name;
    public final Integer maintenanceperiod;
    public final Integer lifespan;
    public final Integer cost;
    public final Integer sku;

    public Equipment(String id, Boolean replacement, Integer quantity, String name, Integer maintenanceperiod, Integer lifespan, Integer cost, Integer sku) {
        this.id = id;
        this.replacement = replacement;
        this.quantity = quantity;
        this.name = name;
        this.maintenanceperiod = maintenanceperiod;
        this.lifespan = lifespan;
        this.cost = cost;
        this.sku = sku;
    }
}

But I'm having troubles to parse _id from origin string json to Apex code.
  
System.assertEquals('55d66226726b611100aaf741', equipments.get(0).id);

When I try to get the id, only I can obtain null value.

Thanks for your time.
Best Regards, 
Carlos Lozano.

As a result, I was applying the next code to replace "_id" for "id", but I think there must be a better solution.
  
public static List<Equipment> jsonToListEquipment(String stringJson){
        String replaced = stringJson.replaceAll('\"_id\"', '\"id\"');
        return (List<Equipment>) JSON.deserialize(replaced, List<Equipment>.class);
    }

Replace AND with OR.

Your formula should be:

OR(
ISBLANK(AccountNumber),
NOT(ISNUMBER(AccountNumber)),
LEN(AccountNumber) <> 8
)

Custom Buttons not showing in Lightning but shows up in Classic

Hi everyone,

I recently hid a custom button from Lightning and enabled it back again in the page layouts. But it does not show in Lightning, but works fine in Classic. What should I do it make it visible again?

Hi Abhishek,

Thanks for looking into this for me. I checked all the links you sent and that really did not solve the problem. I did find the solution though. It slipped my mind that for Lightning you would add it in the "Salesforce Mobile and Lightning Experience Actions" and for Classic it is in "Custom Buttons".

How is omni-channel routing different from case-assignment rules?

I have used case-assignment rules to assign cases automatically to the right user/queue based on certain conditions. 

Recently I was going through Trailhead content on omni-channel and various routing mechanisms (skill based, queue based). Following statement from trailhead confuses me : "Omni-Channel always assigns cases to the right support agents, and customers are happy with customer service. ".

If we already have case-assignment rules in place, why do we need omni-channel queue based routing? How are the two things different?

HI Sohan,

A case assignment rule in Salesforce.com is really a grouping of rules that will help you automatically assign cases throughout your support organization based on criteria captured on the case records. Each assignment rule can have multiple rule entries.

In Omni-Channel, work items are automatically routed or “pushed” to agents who are assigned to the appropriate queue. Incoming work items are routed to the agent with the least amount of open work. When work items all consume 1 capacity, the agent with the lowest number of work items receives incoming work.

Kindly let me know if it helps you and close your query by marking it as solved so that it can help others in the future.

Thanks

Try to query the EventRelation SObject (http://www.salesforce.com/developer/docs/api/Content/sforce_api_objects_eventattendee.htm), with "IsWhat = false" and "IsParent = true".
This should work.
