I have a helper method in my code called canQueryObject, and that method returns a boolean. I have some code that calls the method via the following line of code:



if(!myObjectHelper.canQueryObject(Schema.SObjectType.<<objectType>>)){ ... }


I'd like to test some scenarios where the scenario is false. Is there a way I can use Mock or Stubs in a unit-test to set canQueryObject to false?

          I typically use a fairly simple pattern and don't bring in a framework. It would look something like the following:



          public virtual with sharing class MyObjectHelper
          {
          static MyObjectHelper instance = new MyObjectHelper();
          @TestVisible static void setMock(MyObjectHelper mock) { instance = mock; }

          public static Boolean canQueryObject(SObjectType sObjectType)
          {
          return instance.getCanQueryObject(sObjectType);
          }

          // the two method names cannot match or you will get a compile fail
          protected virtual Boolean getCanQueryObject(SObjectType sObjectType)
          {
          return sObjectType.getDescribe().isQueryable();
          }
          }


          Then in your test, you can have a mock return always true or always false, as you wish.



          @IsTest
          class MyObjectHelperTests
          {
          class HelperMock extends MyObjectHelper
          {
          Boolean isQueryable = true;
          protected override Boolean getCanQueryObject(SObjectType sObjectType)
          {
          return isQueryable;
          }
          }

          @IsTest static void testCannotQuery()
          {
          HelperMock mock = new HelperMock();
          mock.isQueryable = false;
          MyObjectHelper.setMock(mock);

          Test.startTest();
          Boolean canQuery = MyObjectHelper.canQueryObject(...);
          Test.stopTest();

          system.assertEquals(false, canQuery, 'Some informative message');
          }
          }
