• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ABAP_TESTDOUBLE014 - &4 The configured exception &1 is not declared in method &2 ?

  The SAP error message ABAP_TESTDOUBLE014 indicates that there is a problem with exception handling in an ABAP method. Specifically, the error message states that a configured exception (denoted as &1) is not declared in the method (denoted as &2). This typically occurs in the context of unit testing or when using the ABAP Test Double Framework.
  Cause:
  
  Undeclared Exception: The exception that is being referenced in the test or method is not declared in the method signature. In ABAP, when you define a method, you can specify which exceptions it can raise. If you try to raise an exception that is not declared, this error will occur.
  Mismatch in Test Configuration: If you are using a test double (like a mock or stub) and you configure it to expect an exception that the actual method does not declare, this will lead to the error.
  Typographical Error: There might be a typo in the exception name either in the method declaration or in the test configuration.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Declare the Exception: Ensure that the exception &1 is declared in the method &2. You can do this by modifying the method signature to include the exception in the RAISE clause.
  METHOD your_method_name
    RAISES your_exception_name.
  
  
  Check Test Configuration: If you are using a test double, verify that the exception you are trying to configure is indeed declared in the method you are testing. Update the test configuration to match the method's declared exceptions.
  
  
  Correct Typographical Errors: Review the method declaration and the test code for any typographical errors in the exception names. Ensure consistency between the method and the test.
  
  
  Review Documentation: If you are unsure about the exceptions that can be raised, refer to the method documentation or the ABAP class documentation to understand the expected exceptions.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  ABAP Exception Handling: In ABAP, exceptions are a way to handle errors and exceptional situations. They must be declared in the method signature to be raised.
  Unit Testing in ABAP: The ABAP Test Double Framework allows for the creation of test doubles to simulate the behavior of real objects in unit tests. Understanding how to configure these correctly is crucial for effective testing.
  ABAP Documentation: For more detailed information, refer to the official SAP documentation on ABAP exception handling and the ABAP Test Double Framework.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that your method and tests are correctly configured.
