• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RFAC_QUICKFIX224 - Create CDS test 'class_teardown' fixture method ?

  The SAP error message RFAC_QUICKFIX224, which refers to the creation of a CDS (Core Data Services) test 'class_teardown' fixture method, typically arises in the context of unit testing within the ABAP environment. This error indicates that a required fixture method for cleaning up after tests is missing in your test class.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You have defined a test class for your CDS views or other ABAP objects, but you have not implemented the class_teardown method.
  The testing framework expects this method to be present to handle any necessary cleanup after the tests have been executed.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to implement the class_teardown method in your test class. Here’s how you can do it:
  
  
  Open your test class: Navigate to the ABAP development environment (SE80 or SE24) and open the test class where the error is occurring.
  
  
  Implement the class_teardown method: Add the following code to your test class:
  CLASS your_test_class DEFINITION
    FOR TESTING
    DURATION SHORT
    RISK LEVEL HARMLESS
    FINAL
    CREATE PUBLIC.
  
    METHODS:
      class_setup,
      class_teardown.
  
  ENDCLASS.
  
  CLASS your_test_class IMPLEMENTATION.
  
    METHOD class_setup.
      " Code to set up test environment
    ENDMETHOD.
  
    METHOD class_teardown.
      " Code to clean up after tests
    ENDMETHOD.
  
  ENDCLASS.
  
  
  Add cleanup logic: Inside the class_teardown method, include any necessary logic to clean up resources or reset states that were modified during the tests.
  
  
  Activate the class: After making the changes, activate your test class.
  
  
  Run your tests again: Execute your tests to verify that the error has been resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Testing Framework: The ABAP Unit testing framework requires certain methods for setup and teardown to ensure that tests are isolated and do not affect each other.
  Fixture Methods: In addition to class_teardown, you may also want to implement class_setup for initializing resources before tests run.
  Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation on ABAP Unit Testing for more details on best practices and additional methods you can implement.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RFAC_QUICKFIX224 error and ensure that your CDS tests run smoothly.
