Create a Salesforce User with Code in Apex with all of the Required Fields Populated for a Test Class



When attempting to create a user with code in Apex you will encounter an error if you do not populate every single required field. You may be attempting to do this for a Test class or for any number of reasons. The error you encounter may look similar to the following:

Missing fields Exception

System.DmlException: Insert failed. First exception on row 0; first error: REQUIRED_FIELD_MISSING, Required fields are missing: [LastName, Email, Alias, TimeZoneSidKey, LocaleSidKey, EmailEncodingKey, ProfileId, LanguageLocaleKey]: [LastName, Email, Alias, TimeZoneSidKey, LocaleSidKey, EmailEncodingKey, ProfileId, LanguageLocaleKey]


Create a User




Many of those fields require specific values populated from a picklist. Below is some boilerplate code you can use to create a use programmatically with all of those fields populated correctly. You can use your own values for timezonesidkey and locale if desired. They are listed below.

Here is a link to a user having a similar problem on the Salesforce forums: Creating a user in Apex

Using System.runAs() to Run Code as the User you just Created




After creating that user, you may want to explicitly run code as this user. You may want to check permissions or sharing rules are applying correctly to that user's profile for instance. You can accomplish this using a runAs block and passing in the user you just created.

IsTest Annotation to use Existing Data in Test Class

          System.runAs(user) {
             // The following code runs as user 'u' 
             System.debug('Current User: ' + UserInfo.getUserName());
      // Perform user specific operations here            
          }



More info on the runAs command here: Salesforce runAs Documentation

It is also documented in this Salesforce article: Salesforce Intro to Testing

Avoid Staging User Data by Using Existing Data




Alternatively, you may be able to avoid having to stage user data entirely by using existing data in the database. If you want your Test Class to use existing data in your environment, whether its Sandbox or Test or Prod, you can use the following modification to the isTest annotation:

IsTest Annotation to use Existing Data in Test Class

@IsTest(SeeAllData=true)


Place the annotation above the class declaration for your test class. Then your test class should have access to all of your organization's data in your Salesforce instance. Be sure to consider your use cases when deciding to use existing data or staging new data.

Additional info on the @IsTest annotation: IsTest Annotation
