• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BA1/F4_BASIS302 - Method call not permitted; no ABAP unit test ?

  The SAP error message /BA1/F4_BASIS302 Method call not permitted; no ABAP unit test typically occurs when you are trying to execute a method in an ABAP class that is not allowed to be called outside of a unit test context. This is often related to the use of ABAP Unit tests, which are designed to ensure that your code behaves as expected.
  Cause:
  
  Method Visibility: The method you are trying to call may be defined with a visibility restriction (e.g., FOR TESTING) that allows it to be called only within the context of an ABAP Unit test.
  Execution Context: You might be trying to execute the method in a context that does not support unit testing, such as a standard program or transaction.
  Missing Unit Test: If the method is intended to be tested but no corresponding ABAP Unit test has been created, this error can occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Method Definition: Review the method definition in the ABAP class. If it is defined with FOR TESTING, ensure that you are executing it within an ABAP Unit test.
  Create Unit Test: If you need to test the method, create an ABAP Unit test for it. This can be done by creating a test class that includes test methods to call the method in question.
  Modify Visibility: If the method needs to be called outside of a unit test, consider modifying its visibility by removing the FOR TESTING clause, but be cautious as this may expose the method to unintended use.
  Use Transaction SE80: You can use transaction SE80 to navigate to the class and check the method's attributes and visibility settings.
