AppSourceCop Error AS0058

Only use AssertError in Test Codeunits

Description

Only use AssertError in Test Codeunits.

AssertError must be used only in test codeunits, because it creates its own transaction scope. This can lead to unexpected behaviors when used in production code.

For more information about the usage of AssertError, see:

• AssertError statements
• Testing the Application Overview
• TransactionModel Property

How to fix this diagnostic?

Error handling in production code must be done using Try Methods.

For more information, see:

• TryFunction attribute
• Handling Errors by Using Try Methods
