Question

I have a test method that makes assertions based on a trigger that will run before the record is inserted.

In some cases the the trigger will be made inactive, which results in the test case failing.

How can I check the Status of the trigger in the test case?

Answer 1

In hindsight this wasn’t that difficult. Just do a quick query at the start of the test method and return if the Status for the trigger is Inactive.

ApexTrigger defaultPriceBookTrigger = 
    [Select Id, Status from ApexTrigger where name='DefaultPriceBook'];
if(defaultPriceBookTrigger.Status == 'Inactive'){
    return;
}
