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...

From fresh to shared fixture #3 – refactoring can start

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...

Finding NAV 2015 MSDN Help – Let’s Hope It Improves

Luc van Vugt October 26, 2014 October 26, 2014BC 1

For ages Help has been the laughingstock of NAV. Many where evading the creation of it, even more were mocking about the content. For various reasons. With NAV 2009 MS has picked up this gauntlet in various ways: creating better and more valuable content, putting it online, providing us with…

Running Help Servers Side-By-Side

Luc van Vugt October 24, 2014 October 24, 2014BC 1

Digging myself into the new features in NAV 2015 I was referencing the Help and found myself looking at default page. My first thought was: Isn’t there any help for this field? So I returned to the page and selected the upper left dropdown arrow (forgotten the term for it),…

NAV 2015 Glance 4: New Functions are Local by Default?

Luc van Vugt October 17, 2014 October 17, 2014BC 0

It is considered a general coding best practice to declare a function as being local. Over time you could see that the NAV Team was also adhering this, even though C/SIDE wasn’t helping a lot on this as new functions would by default be global, i.e. the property Local would…

Did You Have a Look at the C/AL Editor Status Bar Today?

Luc van Vugt October 17, 2014 October 17, 2014BC 0

Well, I did and noticed something that has been there apparently for some time … [:^)] … a year or so, since NAV 2013 R2. I surely had noticed that since then the C/AL editor shows the attributes. A simple but valuable feature that makes my live a lot easier….
