Accessing Sobject Field Sets in Apex Code !

I recently came across a problem, where I need to query the fields to be shown via FieldSet via Apex Code (No Standard Controller Love). After struggling for a while with Apex docs, I googled for the same and found an idea posted for the same.

So, I thought lets try using dynamic bindings in visual force if they can get the job done for me. Fortunately it worked like a charm in one go. Here is the solution

Chatter Apex Test Case Bug in API version 24

I noticed this issue while writing an Apex test case for some chatter related functionality. For sake of this post, I am just posting the simplified test case. Here is the code

public static testmethod void testFeeds() {
  Test.startTest();
    // Create a Test Account
    Account acc = new Account(Name = 'Demo Account');

    // Create FeedItem using this Account as a Parent Record
    FeedItem fp = new FeedItem();
    fp.Body = 'Testing via Apex';
    fp.parentId = acc.id;
    insert fp;
    
    // Query AccountFeed back to verify if the post was created correctly
    AccountFeed[] accFeed = [Select Id, Body From AccountFeed Where ParentId =:acc.Id];
    // should be 1 record in the feed for this accountid
    System.assertEquals(1, accFeed.size());
  Test.stopTest();
}

• Group1
• GroupMember
• QueueSObject
• User2
• UserRole
• UserTerritory
• Territory

This error typically comes in two different scenarios i.e.
