DidSelectRowAt won't return desired item - ios

Question

I have dynamic table which displays a number of MKMapItems - these items are being displayed by cellForRowAt. But somehow if I click on the cell didSelectRow won't return the map item if I want to print it:
class SearchResultTableViewController: UIViewController {
#IBOutlet weak var searchBar: UISearchBar!
#IBOutlet weak var tableView: UITableView!
#IBOutlet weak var visualEffectView: UIVisualEffectView!
private enum SegueID: String {
case showDetail
case showAll
}
private enum CellReuseID: String {
case resultCell
}
private var places: [MKMapItem]? {
didSet {
tableView.reloadData()
}
}
private var suggestionController: SuggestionsTableTableViewController!
var searchController: UISearchController!
private var localSearch: MKLocalSearch? {
willSet {
places = nil
localSearch?.cancel()
}
}
private var boundingRegion: MKCoordinateRegion?
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
...
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
...
}
override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
if #available(iOS 10, *) {
visualEffectView.layer.cornerRadius = 9.0
visualEffectView.clipsToBounds = true
}
}
...
}
extension SearchResultTableViewController: UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate {
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return places?.count ?? 0
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: CellReuseID.resultCell.rawValue, for: indexPath)
if let mapItem = places?[indexPath.row] {
cell.textLabel?.text = mapItem.name
cell.detailTextLabel?.text = mapItem.placemark.formattedAddress
}
return cell
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
tableView.deselectRow(at: indexPath, animated: true)
print(indexPath)
...
guard let mapItem = places?[indexPath.row] else { return }
print(mapItem.name)
...
if tableView == suggestionController.tableView, let suggestion = suggestionController.completerResults?[indexPath.row] {
searchController.isActive = false
searchController.searchBar.text = suggestion.title
search(for: suggestion)
}
}
}

Answer 1

guard let mapItem = places?[indexPath.row] else { return }
- are you sure this guard statement isn't returning?
also, I'm not seeing where you're setting the VC as the tableView delegate/datasource.
