SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SABP_UNIT - ABAP Unit Messages

• Message number: 102

• Message text: The program <&1> contains no executable unit tests; see long text

What causes this issue?

The active version of the program does not contain any <DS>
<DS:TX.SAUNIT_EXECUTABLE_UNIT_TEST>executable</></> unit test.

How to fix this error?

Check if the test class satisfies the criteria to be an executable unit
test. In case the test class satisfies all criteria but you get this
message activate the program again.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SABP_UNIT102 - The program <&1> contains no executable unit tests; see long text ?

  The SAP error message SABP_UNIT102 indicates that the program you are trying to execute does not contain any executable unit tests. This message is typically encountered when working with ABAP Unit tests in the SAP environment.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the ABAP program or class you are trying to test does not have any defined unit tests. Unit tests are essential for validating the functionality of your code and ensuring that it behaves as expected. If there are no tests defined, the ABAP Unit framework cannot execute any tests, leading to this error message.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to create unit tests for the program or class in question. Here are the steps to do so:
  
  
  Open the ABAP Editor (SE38 or SE80):
  
  Navigate to the program or class where you want to add unit tests.
  
  
  
  Create a Test Class:
  
  If you are working with a class, you can create a test class by using the FOR TESTING addition in the class definition. For example:
  CLASS my_class DEFINITION
    FOR TESTING
    FINAL
    CREATE PUBLIC.
  
  
  
  
  Define Test Methods:
  
  Inside the test class, define methods that will serve as your unit tests. Each test method should start with the prefix TEST and should contain assertions to validate the expected behavior of your code. For example:
  METHOD test_my_method.
    DATA(result) = my_class=>my_method( input_value ).
    cl_abap_unit_assert=>assert_equals(
      act = result
      exp = expected_value
    ).
  ENDMETHOD.
  
  
  
  
  Activate the Test Class:
  
  After defining your test methods, activate the test class to ensure that the unit tests are recognized by the ABAP Unit framework.
  
  
  
  Run the Unit Tests:
  
  You can run the unit tests using transaction SE80 or SE38 by selecting the test class and executing the tests.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  ABAP Unit Testing: This is a framework provided by SAP for testing ABAP code. It allows developers to write and execute tests to ensure code quality.
  Assertions: Use assertions to validate the expected outcomes of your tests. Common assertion methods include assert_equals, assert_not_initial, etc.
  Test Coverage: It's a good practice to ensure that your unit tests cover various scenarios, including edge cases and error handling.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the SABP_UNIT102 error and successfully implement unit tests for your ABAP programs or classes.
