Workaround for Apex switch bug when multiple values and one of them is null?












8














The switch returns the wrong value for null for this case where there are multiple when values and one of them is null in API 43.0:



@IsTest
static void test() {
// Desired outcomes
System.assertEquals(1, f('a'));
System.assertEquals(2, f('b'));
System.assertEquals(2, f('c'));
System.assertEquals(3, f('d'));
System.assertEquals(0, f(''));
System.assertEquals(0, f(null)); // Fails
}

private static Integer f(String s) {
// Incorrectly returns 3 for null
switch on s {
when null, '' { return 0; }
when 'a' { return 1; }
when 'b', 'c' { return 2; }
when else { return 3; }
}
}


Is there a workaround for this?

  • I don't suppose you've logged a bug for this? I'm sure @ca_peterson would love to know about this (if he doesn't already).

  • @sfdcfox If you mean via a case, sure I'll do that next week unless someone says it is already known.

One workaround is to separate the values. All the asserts pass for this code:



private static Integer f(String s) {
// Correctly returns 0 for null
switch on s {
when null { return 0; }
when '' { return 0; }
when 'a' { return 1; }
when 'b', 'c' { return 2; }
when else { return 3; }
}
}


PS



I've reported this bug to Salesforce via case 21246533.
