Thread 1: breakpoint 1.1 - core-data

On [context save:&error] method, i get this error, but not alwasy. It crashes randomly.
There is no error description.
XCode 9.2, ios 10.3.3
What should i do?
Code:
-(void)changeReadStatusOfConversationWithConvID:(int)convID isRead:(BOOL)isRead{
NSManagedObjectContext *context = [[AppDelegate sharedAppDelegate] managedObjectContext];
NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:#"conversation_id == %d", convID];
NSArray *conversations = [self getObjectsForMessageWithEntity:ENTITY_CONVERSATION withPredicate:predicate];
ConversationManagedObject *conversationManagedObj = [conversations firstObject];
if(conversationManagedObj){
conversationManagedObj.unread = !isRead;
__block NSError *error = nil;
if (![[NSThread currentThread] isMainThread]) {
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
if(![context save:&error]){
NSLog(#"Cant Update Conversation! %# %#", error, [error localizedDescription]);
}else{
NSLog(#"Conversation Updated!!!");
}
});
}else{
if(![context save:&error]){
NSLog(#"Cant Update Conversation! %# %#", error, [error localizedDescription]);
}else{
NSLog(#"Conversation Updated!!!");
}
}
}
}

RestKit and Collapsible Menu, synchronize with Core Data

I'm using RestKit and RRNCollapsableTable. The problem is, when I load view for the first time, RestKit is downloading data from JSON. That delay causes menu to not load. What I'm trying to do is to make CollapsableTable wait for data.
[self requestData:^(BOOL success) {
if (success) {
_menu = [self buildMenu];
[self model];
}
}];
- (void)requestData:(void (^)(BOOL success))completionBlock {
NSFetchRequest *fetchRequest = [NSFetchRequest fetchRequestWithEntityName:#"Messages"];
NSSortDescriptor *byId = [NSSortDescriptor sortDescriptorWithKey:#"customNewsId" ascending:YES];
fetchRequest.sortDescriptors = #[byId];
NSError *error = nil;
// Setup fetched results
self.fetchedResultsController = [[NSFetchedResultsController alloc] initWithFetchRequest:fetchRequest
managedObjectContext:[RKManagedObjectStore defaultStore].mainQueueManagedObjectContext
sectionNameKeyPath:#"customNewsId"
cacheName:nil];
//[self.fetchedResultsController setDelegate:self];
BOOL fetchSuccessful = [self.fetchedResultsController performFetch:&error];
if (!fetchSuccessful) {
abort();
}
[[RKObjectManager sharedManager] getObjectsAtPath:#"api/json/get/bZmroLaBCG" parameters:nil success:^(RKObjectRequestOperation *operation, RKMappingResult *mappingResult) {
RKLogInfo(#"Load complete: Table should refresh...");
//[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:[NSDate date] forKey:#"LastUpdatedAt"];
//[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];
NSError *error = nil;
if ([[RKManagedObjectStore defaultStore].mainQueueManagedObjectContext hasChanges] && ![[RKManagedObjectStore defaultStore].mainQueueManagedObjectContext saveToPersistentStore:&error]) {
// Replace this implementation with code to handle the error appropriately.
// abort() causes the application to generate a crash log and terminate. You should not use this function in a shipping application, although it may be useful during development.
NSLog(#"Unresolved error %#, %#", error, [error userInfo]);
abort();
}
completionBlock(YES);
} failure:^(RKObjectRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
RKLogError(#"Load failed with error: %#", error);
completionBlock(NO);
}];
completionBlock(YES);
}
Then BuildMenu is just iterating over fetched objects and put them in section.
-(NSArray *)buildMenu {
__block NSMutableArray *collector = [NSMutableArray new];
NSInteger sections = [self.fetchedResultsController.sections count];
for (NSInteger i = 0; i < sections; i++) {
Messages *message = [_fetchedResultsController objectAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:i]];
MenuSection *section = [MenuSection new];
section.items = #[message.message,message.pushNotificationMessage];
section.title = message.title;
NSLog(#"section.title - %#",section.title);
[collector addObject:section];
}
return [collector copy];
}
Method model is responsible for DataSource for CollapsableTable.
-(NSArray *)model {
return _menu;
}
Thanks in advance for any help.
Greetings.

Core Data properties based upon relationships returning NULL

I have a Core Data data model such as
I want to display the Teams.name associated with each Batting object in my UITableViewCell. When I try to access batting.teams.name it returns NULL.
My opening view controller has a string passed in then creates a new viewController with NSPredicate based from Master.nameLast and lists all names matching
and the NSFetchedResultsController which created the above list
#pragma mark - Fetched Results Controller Section
- (NSFetchedResultsController *)fetchedResultsController {
if(_fetchedResultsController != nil) {
return _fetchedResultsController;
}
NSFetchRequest *fetchRequest = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];
NSManagedObjectContext *context = [self managedObjectContext];
NSEntityDescription *entity = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:#"Master" inManagedObjectContext:context];
[fetchRequest setEntity:entity];
NSSortDescriptor *sortDescriptor = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:#"debut" ascending:YES];
NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:#"nameLast = [c]%#", lastName];
[fetchRequest setPredicate:predicate];
NSArray *sortDescriptors = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:sortDescriptor, nil];
fetchRequest.sortDescriptors = sortDescriptors;
_fetchedResultsController = [[NSFetchedResultsController alloc] initWithFetchRequest:fetchRequest managedObjectContext:context sectionNameKeyPath:nil cacheName:nil];
return _fetchedResultsController;
}
My next view controller then lists all Batting properties associated with the selected Master NSManagedObject.
But when I try to access batting.teams.name it returns NULL!!!!! If I NSLog the entity from my delegate they are set but I can't access Teams.name from it's Batting.teams relationship
#pragma mark - Fetched Results Controller Section
- (NSFetchedResultsController *)fetchedResultsController {
if(_fetchedResultsController != nil) {
return _fetchedResultsController;
}
NSFetchRequest *fetchRequest = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];
NSManagedObjectContext *context = [self managedObjectContext];
NSEntityDescription *entity = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:#"Batting" inManagedObjectContext:context];
[fetchRequest setEntity:entity];
NSSortDescriptor *sortDescriptor = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:#"yearID" ascending:YES];
NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:#"playerID = %# " , selectedMaster.playerID];
[fetchRequest setPredicate:predicate];
NSArray *sortDescriptors = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:sortDescriptor, nil];
fetchRequest.sortDescriptors = sortDescriptors;
_fetchedResultsController = [[NSFetchedResultsController alloc] initWithFetchRequest:fetchRequest managedObjectContext:context sectionNameKeyPath:nil cacheName:nil];
return _fetchedResultsController;
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"playerStats" forIndexPath:indexPath];
Batting *batting = [self.fetchedResultsController objectAtIndexPath:indexPath];
NSString *team = batting.teams.name; //NULL NULL NULL
// Configure the cell...
double average = [batting.h doubleValue]/[batting.ab doubleValue];
NSString *averageStr = [[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%.3f", average] substringFromIndex:1];
cell.textLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%# %#", batting.yearID, batting.teams.name];
cell.detailTextLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"H: %#, AVG: %#, HR: %#, RBI: %#, SB: %#, R: %#, BB: %#, K: %#",
batting.h, averageStr , batting.hr, batting.rbi, batting.sb, batting.r, batting.bb, batting.so];
cell.detailTextLabel.textColor = [UIColor grayColor];
return cell;
}
returns null for the second argument????????
cell.textLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%# %#", batting.yearID, batting.teams.name];
and this is the Teams entity logged from the AppDelegate

Core-Data: Very confused by the implementation of multiple NSManagedObjects and an NSFetchedResultsController in a multithreading iOS app

I have a routine that fetches RSS entries in the background and insert these in my NSManagedObjectContext if not already there.
My problem is that this object doesn't find duplicates or crashes, depending on which NSManagedObjectContext I use... Help me, please.
Here's the simplified .h
#interface AsyncFetchEngine : NSObject <NSXMLParserDelegate,NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate>
#property (strong, nonatomic) dispatch_queue_t rssParserQueue;
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSMutableArray *uRLsToFetch;
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSManagedObjectContext *managedObjectContext;
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSManagedObjectContext *childManagedObjectContext;
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSFetchedResultsController *fetchedResultsController;
- (Boolean) isAlreadyInTheFetchQueue:(Feed *)feed;
- (void) fetchPosts:(Feed *)feed;
- (void) createPostInFeed:(Feed*)feed withTitle:(NSString *)title withContent:(NSString *)content withURL:(NSString *)url withDate:(NSDate *)date;
Now here's the init method:
Note if I set the _childManagedObjectContext's parent here, the program crashes.
-(AsyncFetchEngine *)init
{
_rssParserQueue = dispatch_queue_create("com.example.MyQueue", NULL);
_uRLsToFetch = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:32];
_childManagedObjectContext = [[NSManagedObjectContext alloc] initWithConcurrencyType:NSPrivateQueueConcurrencyType];
[_childManagedObjectContext setPersistentStoreCoordinator:[_managedObjectContext persistentStoreCoordinator]];
NSNotificationCenter *center = [NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter];
[center addObserver:self
selector:#selector(contextDidSave:)
name:NSManagedObjectContextDidSaveNotification
object:_childManagedObjectContext];
return self;
}
- (void)contextDidSave:(NSNotification*)notification
{
void (^mergeChanges) (void) = ^ {
[_managedObjectContext mergeChangesFromContextDidSaveNotification:notification];
};
if ([NSThread isMainThread]) {
mergeChanges();
} else {
dispatch_sync(dispatch_get_main_queue(), mergeChanges);
}
}
Fetch method:
Note: not sure which MOC to use to determine localFeed, _managedObjectContext crashes the app.
- (void) fetchPosts:(Feed *)feed
{
if (!_childManagedObjectContext.parentContext) {
[_childManagedObjectContext setParentContext:self.managedObjectContext];
}
if ([self isAlreadyInTheFetchQueue:feed]) {
NSLog(#"AsyncFetchEngine::fetchPosts> \"%#\" is already in the fetch queue", feed.name);
return;
}
[_uRLsToFetch addObject:feed];
NSURL *url=[NSURL URLWithString:feed.rss];
NSURLRequest *req = [[NSURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:url];
if (![NSURLConnection canHandleRequest:req]) {
return;
}
Feed *localFeed = ((Feed *)[_childManagedObjectContext existingObjectWithID:[feed objectID] error:nil]);
dispatch_async(_rssParserQueue, ^{
NSLog(#"AsyncFetchEngine::fetchPosts> Opening %#", feed.rss);
[RSSParser parseRSSFeedForRequest:req success:^(NSArray *feedItems)
{
for(RSSItem *i in feedItems)
{
[self createPostInFeed:localFeed withTitle:i.title withContent:(i.content?i.content:i.itemDescription) withURL:[i.link absoluteString] withDate:(i.pubDate?i.pubDate:[NSDate date])];
}
NSLog(#"AsyncFetchEngine::fetchPosts> Found %d items", [feedItems count]);
[_uRLsToFetch removeObject:feed];
}
failure:^(NSError *error)
{
NSLog(#"AsyncFetchEngine::fetchPosts> RSSParser lost it: %#", [error localizedDescription]);
}];
});
}
- (Boolean) isAlreadyInTheFetchQueue:(Feed *)feed
{
Feed *f=nil;
for (f in _uRLsToFetch) {
if ([f isEqual:feed]){
return YES;
}
}
return NO;
}
NSFecthedResultsController, do I need it that way?
- (NSFetchedResultsController *)fetchedResultsController
{
if (_fetchedResultsController != nil) {
return _fetchedResultsController;
}
NSFetchRequest *fetchRequest = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];
// Edit the entity name as appropriate.
// Note: I originally tried to use the main MOC here, but it also used to crash the app.
NSEntityDescription *entity = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:#"Post" inManagedObjectContext:_childManagedObjectContext];
[fetchRequest setEntity:entity];
// Set the batch size to a suitable number.
[fetchRequest setFetchBatchSize:20];
// Edit the sort key as appropriate.
NSSortDescriptor *sortDescriptor = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:#"date" ascending:NO];
NSArray *sortDescriptors = #[sortDescriptor];
[fetchRequest setSortDescriptors:sortDescriptors];
/* NSPredicate *predicate =[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:#"feed.rss LIKE '%#'", _detailItem.rss];
[fetchRequest setPredicate:predicate]; */
// Edit the section name key path and cache name if appropriate.
// nil for section name key path means "no sections".
NSFetchedResultsController *aFetchedResultsController = [[NSFetchedResultsController alloc] initWithFetchRequest:fetchRequest managedObjectContext:self.managedObjectContext sectionNameKeyPath:nil cacheName:nil];
aFetchedResultsController.delegate = self;
_fetchedResultsController = aFetchedResultsController;
return _fetchedResultsController;
}
It usually crashes somewhere in this method, according to the dump stack.
If it doesn't crash, I have my post added to a (null) Category...
- (void)createPostInFeed:(Feed*)feed withTitle:(NSString *)title withContent:(NSString *)content withURL:(NSString *)url withDate:(NSDate *)date
{
[_childManagedObjectContext performBlockAndWait:^{
NSError *error = nil;
if (![self.fetchedResultsController performFetch:&error]) {
NSLog(#"Error in refetch: %#",[error localizedDescription]);
abort();
}
}];
NSLog(#"AsyncFetchEngine.h: Searching similar posts among %d", [[self.fetchedResultsController fetchedObjects] count]);
Boolean found=NO;
NSPredicate *predicate=[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:#"title == %# AND url == %# AND feed == %#", title, url, feed];
NSArray *similarPosts = [_fetchedResultsController.fetchedObjects filteredArrayUsingPredicate:predicate];
if ([similarPosts count] > 0)
{
NSLog(#"\n\n\n\t\tAsyncFetchEngine::fetchPosts> Skipping %# (%#)", title, url);
} else {
NSLog(#"\n\n\n\t\tAsyncFetchEngine::fetchPosts> Putting new post in %#", feed.name);
NSEntityDescription *postEntityDescription = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:#"Post"
inManagedObjectContext:_childManagedObjectContext];
[_childManagedObjectContext performBlock:^{
Post *initPost = (Post *)[[NSManagedObject alloc]
initWithEntity:postEntityDescription
insertIntoManagedObjectContext:_childManagedObjectContext];
initPost.title = title;
initPost.url = url;
initPost.excerpt = content;
initPost.date = date;
initPost.read = nil;
initPost.feed = feed;
NSError *error;
if (![_childManagedObjectContext save:&error])
{
NSLog(#"[createPost] Error saving context: %#", error);
}
NSLog(#"Created: %# (%#)", title, url);
//[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:#"NewPostAdded" object:self];
}];
}
}
So, my questions are:
When I have multiple MOCs, do I fetch from the main and write to a child?
How should I respectivelly use these above?
Thanks!
Answering my own question for the sake of eventually helping another newbie.
Check NSOperationQueue with Coredata.
There's a very good example here.

A predicate does not have a -count. A predicate is an expression that evaluates to true or false. That's it.
You can ask the NSFetchedResultsController for its -fetchedObjects (which returns an array), and then ask that array for its -count, but you can only do this after you invoke -performFetch:.
Ha ha! Got it...
- (void)searchBarSearchButtonClicked:(UISearchBar *)searchBar {
if (self.sBar.text != nil) {
NSPredicate *template = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:#"name contains[cd] $SEARCH OR optionOne contains[cd] $SEARCH OR optionTwo contains[cd] $SEARCH"];
NSDictionary *replace = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:self.sBar.text forKey:#"SEARCH"];
NSPredicate *predicate = [template predicateWithSubstitutionVariables:replace];
[fetchedResultsController.fetchRequest setPredicate:predicate];
}
NSError *error = nil;
if (![[self fetchedResultsController] performFetch:&error]) {
// Handle error
NSLog(#"Unresolved error %#, %#", error, [error userInfo]);
exit(-1); // Fail
}
if ([[fetchedResultsController fetchedObjects] count] != 0) {
[self.myTable reloadData];
[sBar resignFirstResponder];
}
else {
//display alert
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:nil message:#"No records match."
delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alert show];
[alert release];
}
}

AQGridView problem when i modify the fetchRequest's predicate

I'm trying to change the fetchRequest's predicate on my NSFetchedResultsController, but when i try to reload the data from the aqgridview, none cell is displayed.
My code:
[NSFetchedResultsController deleteCacheWithName: nil];
NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat: #"colection = %#", newcolection ];
[fetchedResultsController.fetchRequest setPredicate:predicate];
NSError *error = nil;
if (![[self fetchedResultsController] performFetch:&error]) {
NSLog(#"Unresolved error %#, %#", error, [error userInfo]);
abort();
}
[comicGridView reloadData];
SOLVED:
OK, solved. I had to change the "setContentSize: (CGSize) newSize" method in AQGridView.m:
From:
if (newSize.height < footerHeight + minimumHeight)
To:
if (newSize.height < minimumHeight)
As minimumHeight already contains footerHeight, before, footerHeight is added in twice.
I've solved: answer in the question.
