Getting handed over the full text to your ConfirmHandler

For those of you that are coding tests the concept of UI Handlers is probably a known fact. It’s one of the first technical things I explain in my test automation course and I call it the third pillar of the testability framework in Business Central. Each UI Handler type has a specific signature and...

Addendum #05 – Include Lookup Value in Restore Archived Sales Document feature

In chapter 6 of my book, on pages 109 and 110, the data model and business logic changes for the Lookup Value business case are listed and discussed. One way or another these changes are covered by most of the test examples worked on in the book. Accept for the two following business rules that were...

Addendum #04 – Verifying the Report Dataset

As I explain in my book with test example 8 in chapter 8, the testability framework – or actually the test toolkit – does not provide for layout testing, only dataset testing. Those who bought both the 1st and 2nd edition of my book might have noticed that the verification part of this report test...

10 Years fluxxus.nl

Dear readers, customers, students … dear fellow human beings. It’s a little over 10 years that I got the opportunity to start my own business, fluxxus.nl.And through this I got the chance to get in contact with you. To work with you, to teach you, to talk to you, and, maybe the most important thing,...

Addendum #03 – Simplifying API testing using basic authentication

Time for another addendum to my book: simplifying API testing. In the first part of Chapter 13, Testing Incoming and Outgoing Calls, I discuss how you can go about testing incoming calls, i.e. calls to your APIs. In this I followed the approach by MS in testing their APIs: Set up your Business Central environment...

by Jason Gumpert, editor, MSDynamicsWorld.com Last December the 2nd edition of Luc van Vugt’s book Automated Testing in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central was released by Packt Publishing.

From fresh to shared fixture #3 – refactoring can start

At the end of the second post of this series I left you hanging just when I was ready to really start refactoring. Sorry for that and shouldn’t let you wait no longer. So, here we go. Refactoring can start But where to start? Well, let’s list the things that could be cleaned up. In...

From fresh to shared fixture #2 – a refactoring example

In the first post of this series I started with stating the intention that … I would like to display a very simple, though instructive, example of how easy refactoring works when you have both app and test code at your disposal. And that’s what I am going to do in this second post as...

Luc van Vugt November 18, 2014 November 18, 2014BC 1

Join the Clean Team! [8-|] Welcome to my fellow MVP Alain Krikilion, aka Kriki, who also clearly wants to clean up as you can read below. Let’s kriki up NAV! In the database properties of NAV, on the Options tab, there is the toggle Torn Page Detection. In SQL2000 this option…

Let’s clean up NAV #4 – SYSTEM Functions

Luc van Vugt November 16, 2014 November 16, 2014BC 0

Once I start to clean up … I can’t stop I guess. So here’s more that still resides in C/SIDE and has become totally obsolete (the following table is an excerpt from Changes in C/AL Behavior and Support from Earlier Versions of Microsoft Dynamics NAV): Function Change COMMANDLINE Not supported…

Let’s clean up NAV #3 – AltSearchField

Luc van Vugt November 13, 2014 November 13, 2014BC 0

With RTC all of a sudden, so it seemed to many, AltSearchField was not working anymore. Complaints abundant as probably the same ‘many’ hadn’t learned about the new dropdown list yet. You know that list defined by the FieldGroup property on a table. Meanwhile this dropdown list has become a common…

The Word layout document is malformed – Misleading Message #2

Luc van Vugt November 7, 2014 November 7, 2014BC 0

I guess this error message can make sense for sure, but not with what I was doing today. I mean, working with the new document reporting feature in NAV 2015, this perfectly would made sense importing a Word layout, that has just been updated, but in such a way that…
