How to create portal user in apex class?

I think we must have faced difficulty to create portal user in apex class. 

Below are the errors we might have faced. 

System.SObjectException: Field is not writeable: User.IsPortalEnabled 
System.SObjectException: Field is not writeable: User.Contact 

This post is just to tell how to create portal user. We already know that first we need to create Contact and Account , ensure the Account is a partner account, then create a user that points to the contact.

Still same error will come. 

Solution-
To make a partner portal account, we need to ensure the account's owner has the correct values in the UserRoleId and ProfileId fields.
To make a partner user, any user is ok. Simply ensure the user's profile is a Portal User profile. Then you can specify a value for its ContactId field.

Below is the code 

//Create portal account owner
UserRole portalRole = [Select Id From UserRole Where PortalType = 'None' Limit 1];
Profile profile1 = [Select Id from Profile where name = 'System Administrator'];
User portalAccountOwner1 = new User(
UserRoleId = portalRole.Id,
ProfileId = profile1.Id,
Username = System.now().millisecond() + 'test2@test.com',
    Alias = 'batman',
Email='bruce.wayne@wayneenterprises.com',
EmailEncodingKey='UTF-8',
Firstname='Bruce',
Lastname='Wayne',
LanguageLocaleKey='en_US',
LocaleSidKey='en_US',
TimeZoneSidKey='America/Chicago'
);
Database.insert(portalAccountOwner1);

//Create account
Account portalAccount1 = new Account(
Name = 'TestAccount',
OwnerId = portalAccountOwner1.Id
);
Database.insert(portalAccount1);
   
//Create contact
Contact contact1 = new Contact(
    FirstName = 'Test',
    Lastname = 'McTesty',
AccountId = portalAccount1.Id,
    Email = System.now().millisecond() + 'test@test.com'
);
Database.insert(contact1);
   
//Create user
Profile portalProfile = [SELECT Id FROM Profile WHERE Name LIKE '%Portal User%' Limit 1];
User user1 = new User(
Username = System.now().millisecond() + 'test12345@test.com',
ContactId = contact1.Id,
ProfileId = portalProfile.Id,
Alias = 'test123',
Email = 'test12345@test.com',
EmailEncodingKey = 'UTF-8',
LastName = 'McTesty',
CommunityNickname = 'test12345',
TimeZoneSidKey = 'America/Los_Angeles',
LocaleSidKey = 'en_US',
LanguageLocaleKey = 'en_US'
);
Database.insert(user1);
