Unable to create PersonAccounts when calling createSObjectList() method

[ankittaneja]

I am trying to do

List<Account> PersonAccs = (Account[]) TestFactory.createSObjectList(new Account(), 100, 'TestFactoryDefaults.PersonAccountDefaults');

And I get the following error:

System.DmlException: Insert failed. First exception on row 0; first error: INVALID_FIELD_FOR_INSERT_UPDATE, Unable to create/update fields: Name. Please check the security settings of this field and verify that it is read/write for your profile or permission set.: [Name]

LastName is a required field for PersonAccounts which is being provided in the defaults class. If I add Account.SObjectType => Account.LastName to nameFieldMap at Line 108, then I am unable to create Business Accounts.

There must be a way to say Name or LastName is required field depending upon what we are inserting: Accounts or PersonAccounts via createSObjectList() method.

Your suggestion: It would probably be better to refactor the code a bit and make a method to determine the name field since the logic is getting more complicated.

Please let me know if I can help.

Thank you.
