Swift and CoreData, problems with relationship (NSSet) - [NSSet intersectsSet:]: set argument is not an NSSet
I've been trying to get my head around adding objects in relationships using CoreData and Swift. I am at a loss, I do not understand why my code does not work. I am trying to add an "Event" to a "Team". I can not find the difference between accepted answers (that should work), and my code (that does not).
Teams.swift:
import Foundation
import CoreData
class Teams: NSManagedObject {
@NSManaged var teamName: String
@NSManaged var matches: NSSet
}
extension Teams {
func addEventToTeam(event:Event) {
//self.mutableSetValueForKeyPath("matches").addObject(event)
var matchez: NSMutableSet
matchez = self.mutableSetValueForKey("matches")
matchez.addObject(event)
//var manyRelation = self.valueForKeyPath("matches") as NSMutableSet
//manyRelation.addObject(event)
}
func getTeamName() -> String {
return teamName
}
}
Calling code (from configure view):
import UIKit
import CoreData
class DetailViewController: UIViewController, NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate {
var managedObjectContext: NSManagedObjectContext? = nil
@IBOutlet weak var detailDescriptionLabel: UILabel!
var detailItem: AnyObject? {
didSet {
// Update the view.
self.configureView()
}
}
func configureView() {
// Update the user interface for the detail item.
if let detail: Event = (self.detailItem as? Event) {
//if let detail: AnyObject = self.detailItem {
if let label = self.detailDescriptionLabel {
label.text = detail.valueForKey("timeStamp").description
self.insertNewObject(self);
label.text = String(detail.getNumberOfTeams())
//detail.getTeams().
var hej: Array<Teams>
hej = detail.getTeams()
label.text = "tjosan"
for tmpTeam : Teams in hej {
label.text = label.text + ", " + tmpTeam.getTeamName()
}
}
}
if true {
}
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
self.configureView()
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
var fetchedResultsController: NSFetchedResultsController {
if _fetchedResultsController != nil {
return _fetchedResultsController!
}
let fetchRequest = NSFetchRequest()
// Edit the entity name as appropriate.
let team = NSEntityDescription.entityForName("Teams", inManagedObjectContext: self.managedObjectContext)
fetchRequest.entity = team
// Set the batch size to a suitable number.
fetchRequest.fetchBatchSize = 20
// Edit the sort key as appropriate.
let sortDescriptor = NSSortDescriptor(key: "teamName", ascending: false)
let sortDescriptors = [sortDescriptor]
fetchRequest.sortDescriptors = [sortDescriptor]
// Edit the section name key path and cache name if appropriate.
// nil for section name key path means "no sections".
let aFetchedResultsController = NSFetchedResultsController(fetchRequest: fetchRequest, managedObjectContext: self.managedObjectContext, sectionNameKeyPath: nil, cacheName: "Master")
aFetchedResultsController.delegate = self
_fetchedResultsController = aFetchedResultsController
var error: NSError? = nil
if !_fetchedResultsController!.performFetch(&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.
//println("Unresolved error \(error), \(error.userInfo)")
abort()
}
return _fetchedResultsController!
}
var _fetchedResultsController: NSFetchedResultsController? = nil
func insertNewObject(sender: AnyObject) {
let context = self.fetchedResultsController.managedObjectContext
let team = self.fetchedResultsController.fetchRequest.entity
let newManagedObject = NSEntityDescription.insertNewObjectForEntityForName(team.name, inManagedObjectContext: context) as Teams
// If appropriate, configure the new managed object.
// Normally you should use accessor methods, but using KVC here avoids the need to add a custom class to the template.
newManagedObject.setValue("Lagur Namnurk", forKey: "teamName")
newManagedObject.addEventToTeam(self.detailItem as Event)
// Save the context.
var error: NSError? = nil
if !context.save(&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.
//println("Unresolved error \(error), \(error.userInfo)")
abort()
}
}
}

edit: a couple of clarifications. Teams and Event have a multi-to-multi, unordered relationship.
Answer
Yesss!! I found the answer!
I had created a new function in the class Events.swift (the other side of the relationship).
I had written the following code:
import Foundation
import CoreData
class Event: NSManagedObject {
@NSManaged var timeStamp: NSDate
@NSManaged var teams: NSSet
}
extension Event {
func addTeamToEvent(team:Teams) {
var teamz = self.mutableSetValueForKey("teams")
teamz.addObject(team)
}
func getNumberOfTeams() -> Int {
return self.teams.count;
}
func getTeams() -> [Teams] {
var tmpsak: [Teams]
tmpsak = self.teams.allObjects as [Teams]
tmpsak = self.teams.allObjects as [Teams]
return tmpsak
}
}
which I thought was unrelated. However, renaming getTeams to getTeamsAsArray removed the problem. I am guessing that CoreData, when filling in the other end of the relationship, uses a built-in function called getTeams() (since the other class was called Teams). I accidentally overrode(?) it, causing it to fail.
Thank you for your suggestions, and I hope this can be helpful to someone else!
On a somewhat related note, a bug with similar symptoms was identified a few years ago (and appears to still be present), that shows itself in auto-generated code when using ordered many-to-many relationships.
