I'm writing a test for a schedulable class and so far it's working fine but I can't get the return statement to be covered by the test class. I'm missing something here and can't see it.

The final returns on getMonthName (return Name) and getQuarter(Return Quarter) methods are not covered by the test class.

Here the Schedulable Class:

global class MRD_LATAM_LeaseCorrection implements Schedulable 



global void execute(SchedulableContext SC) 
 
 ListofLeases();
 


global static void ListOfLeases ()

 List<Margin_Report_Data__c> Corrections = new List<Margin_Report_Data__c>();

//Loop for year

 Integer m=date.today().month();
 for (Integer y=date.today().year(); y <= 2026 ; y++ )

//Loop for month



 while (m <=12)


 Margin_Report_Data__c mrd = new Margin_Report_Data__c();
 mrd.Account__c='001f000001Fd5sIAAR';
 mrd.Customer__c = 'LATAM AIRLINES GROUP S.A.';
 mrd.Transaction_Date__c = date.newInstance(y, m, 1);
 mrd.Transaction_Year__c = string.valueOf(y);
 mrd.Transaction_Month__c = getMonthName(m);
 mrd.Transaction_Quarter__c = getQuarter(m);
 mrd.Program_Revenue__c = 'No';
 mrd.Sale_Category__c='Leases';
 mrd.Region__c='LA';
 mrd.Total_Sales__c = 194800;
 mrd.Total_Gross_Profit__c = 194800;
 mrd.Post_Status__c = 'Posted';
 mrd.Transaction_Description__c = 'Sale Income Adjustment for LATAM Lease';

 Corrections.add(mrd);
 m++;

 

 m=1;
 

 for (Margin_Report_Data__c mr : Corrections)
 


insert Corrections; 


//Converting month number to month name
global static String getMonthName (Integer Month)
 String Name;
 Switch on Month
 when 1 
 Name='January';
 return Name; 
 
 when 2 
 Name='February';
 return Name; 
 
 when 3 
 Name='March';
 return Name; 
 
 when 4 
 Name='April';
 return Name; 
 
 when 5 
 Name='May';
 return Name; 
 
 when 6 
 Name='June';
 return Name; 
 
 when 7 
 Name='July';
 return Name; 
 
 when 8 
 Name='August';
 return Name; 
 
 when 9 
 Name='September';
 return Name; 
 
 when 10 
 Name='October';
 return Name; 
 
 when 11 
 Name='November';
 return Name; 
 
 when 12 
 Name='December';
 return Name; 
 
 
 return Name; //<-- This is not covered


//Converting month number to year quarter
global static String getQuarter (Integer Month)
 String Quarter;
 Switch on Month
 when 1 
 Quarter = 'Q1';
 return Quarter; 
 
 when 2 
 Quarter = 'Q1';
 return Quarter; 
 
 when 3 
 Quarter = 'Q1';
 return Quarter; 
 
 when 4 
 Quarter = 'Q2';
 return Quarter; 
 
 when 5 
 Quarter = 'Q2';
 return Quarter; 
 
 when 6 
 Quarter = 'Q2';
 return Quarter; 
 
 when 7 
 Quarter = 'Q3';
 return Quarter; 
 
 when 8 
 Quarter = 'Q3';
 return Quarter; 
 
 when 9 
 Quarter = 'Q3';
 return Quarter; 
 
 when 10 
 Quarter = 'Q4';
 return Quarter; 
 
 when 11 
 Quarter = 'Q4';
 return Quarter; 
 
 when 12 
 Quarter = 'Q4';
 return Quarter; 
 
 
 return Quarter; //<-- This is not covered


 

Here's the test class:

 @IsTest
public class MRD_LATAM_LeaseCorrection_Test 

 @IsTest static void TestDeleteData()


 //Setup Margin Report
 Margin_Report_Data__c MarginReport = new Margin_Report_Data__c (Transaction_Month__c='January', Transaction_Year__c='2018', Document_Number__c='10', Sales_Order__c='12345');


 Test.startTest();

 MRD_LATAM_LeaseCorrection mrdc = new MRD_LATAM_LeaseCorrection();
 String sch = '0 59 12 * * ?';
 system.schedule('Test MR Lease Correction', sch, mrdc);
 mrdc.execute(null); 

 Test.stoptest();

 List <Margin_Report_Data__c> resultmr = [SELECT id FROM Margin_Report_Data__c WHERE Customer__c = 'LATAM AIRLINES GROUP S.A.' AND Sale_Category__c = 'Leases'];


 System.debug('MRD With Leases?:'+ resultmr.size());
 System.assertEquals(true, resultmr.size()>0);

 

You have unreachable statements, and your code is overly complicated. You should remove your use of switch statements entirely.

I recommend you simplify the logic for getting quarter to something like the below:

public Integer getQuarterNumber(Integer month)

 return 1 + (Integer)Math.floor((month-1)/3);

public String getQuarterName(Integer month)

 return 'Q' + getQuarterNumber(month);

This code should be very easy to cover.

As for getting the name of the month, I would use standard Datetime formatting and keep this logic out of your own code. Something like below would be very easy to use and cover, and should update based on the running user's language:

String getMonthName(Integer month)

 return Datetime.newInstance(2000, month, 15, 0, 0, 0).format('MMMM');

If you want to guarantee the month name is in English, a more classic approach will give you what you want without forcing you to hit every single execution path in your test. Use a Map.

static final Map<Integer, String> monthNames = new Map<Integer, String>

 1 => 'January',
 2 => 'February',
 // etc
;
public static String getMonthName(Integer month)

 return monthNames.get(month);

One advantage to using a map over a list here is you do not have to worry about bound checking or exceptions based on invalid input. You will simply get a name of null if you pass in 15 as your month number, for example.

The golden rule of unit testing is that you only gain coverage for code that is executed as part of a unit test.

Looking at your switch statements in both of your helper methods, if your input matches one of the when criteria, you set a value and then immediately return. Those return lines don't just pop you out of the switch, it pops you out of the entire method.

Thus, if your tests are only providing input that will match one of the when criteria (the "happy path"), you'll never reach those final return lines in your two helper methods.

No reach = no execution = no coverage.

Honestly though, all of those return lines inside of your when blocks are only hurting you here. The behavior of switch in Apex is to execute either one or zero blocks inside the switch, and then move on to the next statement.

If you were to remove the return; line in each of your when blocks, you would reach the final return; at the end of both of your helper methods and you'd get your coverage for that line.

If you do follow that advice, then you should also add some more error checking (what if month is null? what if it's less than 1? what if it's greater than 12?) as well as test methods to stress those situations.

Looking at the other answers though, I agree that switch isn't really the best tool for the job here.

You would need to pass in a null value to the method to reach the "default" value. Since that's not possible, you might consider optimizing your code to return a value in default, which should negate the need for a default return.

global static String getMonthName (Integer Month)
 Switch on Month
 when 1 return 'January'; 
 when 2 return 'February'; 
 when 3 return 'March'; 
 when 4 return 'April'; 
 when 5 return 'May'; 
 when 6 return 'June'; 
 when 7 return 'July'; 
 when 8 return 'August'; 
 when 9 return 'September'; 
 when 10 return 'October'; 
 when 11 return 'November'; 
 when else return 'December'; 
 

Switch statements can do what you're doing, but this would be just as efficient:

static String[] monthNames = new String[] 'January','February','March','April','May','June','July','August','September','October','November','December' ;
global static string getMonthName(Integer month) 
 return monthNames[month-1];
