Local test classes / does not have any inactive versions

[Sm1tje]

Hi all,

I'm trying to create local test class within a global class. First, in the local definitions part I enter the name of my test class and make it 'known' to the global class like this;

  CLASS test_class DEFINITION DEFERRED.
  CLASS global_class DEFINITION LOCAL FRIENDS test_class.

So far so good. In the next step I want to create the actual definition and implementation of the test_class. I do this (via the menu) by clicking on Goto->Local Test Classes. But I can't process this step since I get an 'error' message (displayed as a message of type 'S' in the status bar) saying:

ZCL_GLOBAL_CLASS================CCAU does not have any inactive versions

I already tried to activate the class before going to the Local Test Class, but I get an error message (which is correct) saying:

"CLASS TEST_CLASS DEFINITION DEFERRED" is missing "CLASS TEST_CLASS DEFINITION.

This is correct, since this definition I'm trying to create in the Local Test Class. The reason I want to create a unit test is because I want to do a (ABAP) Unit test.

Question: Want am I doing wrong here, or is something missing (maybe a note which I haven't been able to find yet)? How to create this Local Test Class?

Just a reminder!

It's weird and good catch. It seems SAP by default doesn't generate the LOCAL Test class section when we create a new class. That's why we get the message "...CCAU does not have any inactive versions".

But, when we use the test class generation wizard Utilities > Test Class Generation, it Creates the "CCAU" component for the class and the template for the test class. I haven't noticed this message yet because I always use this generation wizard.
