How to get Fedex testing tracking number?
I'm configuring FEDEX shipping in Magento website. I got test account number, password, API key and meter number by login in test FEDEX account. I configured myself in Magento. Looks like everything fine. But I don't know how to test is Track Order.
So where can I get tracking number for shipping methods? Should I enter randomly or how can I get that? I tried some forum suggested numbers. But I got below error in my popup:
Tracking information is currently not available
I also checked my shipping_fedex log file in Magento. got logged some error codes in printed array. That's I give in below.
**ERROR log**

FEDEX help:
What Numbers Can I Track?
Track by Tracking Number: You can enter up to 30 tracking numbers at a time. You can enter any combination of FedEx Express, FedEx Express Freight, FedEx Ground, FedEx SmartPost, FedEx Freight, or FedEx Custom Critical tracking numbers. Please ensure that you enter only one tracking number per line.
Edit: I used "99999999999" as per Derek suggestion. But I got below response. Still same error in pop up. What does mean __pid =>2432?

Answer
Your question is not at all stupid. I upvoted it.
The fedex documentation is horrible and doesn't mention how to use their services while testing and after moving to production. Their support is worse.
While I was rambling in the internet, I found a page mentioning the tracking number 123456789012 as a test number. Use it with your test credentials (key, password, account number and meter number), while you're setting your service path to https://wsbeta.fedex.com:443/web-services/track, and the request will return a valid response that you can build on.
