As we know in apex, math.random() function gives random number greater than or equal to zero and less than 1. This function can be used to generate random number in apex.
I have created a apex class which can be used to find a random between 2 numbers and this can be extended later to find random string from list of strings values or to select random picklist value for picklist field while creating test data in test class.
Below is apex class code:
In order to find random picklist value, use apex describe to store all picklist values in List and then pass that list to "findRandomStringFromList" method in RandomUtility apex class.
Hope this will help!!!

Thanks for this. I just installed into one of my test environments, and I think it's really cool. I'm just getting started with apex, so still trying to learn how some of this stuff works. The one snag I'm hitting is that, when placing this class inside of a Flow (which is being called by Process Builder), it breaks when updating more than one record. It works fine when updating a single record, but when I load many records, or update multiple in a List View, I receive an error that says "the number of results does not match the number of interviews that were executed in a single bulk execution request". Does this mean the code must be tweaked? Any help would be appreciated!
ReplyDeleteDid you ever get this figured out? I am having the same issue. Oddly, while it causes alerts and errors, it isn't preventing record creation and generates the random numbers just fine - I am not seeing duplicated numbers in the sets.
DeleteI am really enjoying reading your well written articles. It looks like you spend a lot of effort and time on your blog. I have bookmarked it and I am looking forward to reading new articles. Keep up the good work. The Random Blogger
