iOS Swift - SharkORM won't commit - ios

Question

I'm using SharkORM on iOS Swift project and I'm having problem with a specific object. I have other objects in the project that works, but this one.
My class is like this:
import Foundation
import SharkORM
class Exam: SRKObject {
dynamic var serverId: NSNumber?
dynamic var type: String?
dynamic var when: String?
dynamic var file: String?
dynamic var filename: String?
dynamic var url: String?
func toJson() -> [String:Any?] {
return [
"name" : type,
"date" : when,
"serverId" : serverId,
"file" : file,
"filename" : filename,
"url" : url,
"id" : id
]
}
static func fromJson(_ json: [String:Any?]) -> Exam {
let exam = Exam()
exam.id = json["id"] as? NSNumber ?? NSNumber(value: 0)
exam.type = json["name"] as? String ?? ""
exam.file = json["file"] as? String ?? ""
exam.filename = json["filename"] as? String ?? ""
exam.url = json["url"] as? String ?? ""
exam.serverId = json["serverId"] as? NSNumber ?? NSNumber(value: 0)
exam.when = json["date"] as? String ?? ""
return exam
}
}
I add to an array objects that needs to be saved and after user press save button, the app starts committing it.
// save exams
for exam in self.examsToSave {
if !exam.commit() {
print("Error commiting exam.")
}
}
if let rs = Exam.query().fetch() {
print("exams: \(rs.count)")
}
The commit method returns true and I added a print right after it finishes committing and result is zero.
Any idea?

Answer 1

I found out the problem right after post it. In my text here, my variable "when" was colored like a keyword. I just changed the name to "whenDate" and it started committing. Weird it didn't show up any error or a crash. Anyway, a variable named "when" is not allowed inside a SRKObject.

Answer 2

Given same Commit problem, figured best to keep to topic here. And I've spent number of hours trying to debug this so thought I'd try this:
I have a simple class (and overly simplified but tested as provided here):
class user: SRKObject {
#objc dynamic var name: String = ""
}
(No, no odd syntax coloring on the object property names.)
And I do the following (simplified test case), first defining
public var currUser = user()
Then in a function:
let users = user.query().fetch() as! [user]
if users.count > 0 {
currUser = users[0]
NSLog("Num users \(users.count) name \(currUser.name)")
} else {
self.currUser.name = "T1 User"
if !self.currUser.commit() {
print ("Failed to commit")
}
else {
let u = user.query().fetch()
print("Num users \(u.count)")
}
}
The commit() call succeeds -- at least I don't get the "Failed to commit" message. However, I do get zero count in the last fetch().
Viewing the DB file (in Simulator) from a "DB Browser for SQLite" shows the DB is created fine but the "user" record is not in there, and neither is the "committed" data.
BTW when I had this code in SRKTransaction.transaction, it DID fall into the failure (rollback) block, so yes, did get a transaction error, but tracking that down will be next.
In the meantime, appreciate in advance any help given this case as presented should work.

#retd111, I copied and pasted your code and got the same error.
Then, I moved the currUser to a local var, like this:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
var currUser: user? = nil
let users = user.query().fetch() as! [user]
if users.count > 0 {
currUser = users[0]
NSLog("Num users \(users.count) name \(currUser!.name)")
} else {
currUser = user()
currUser!.name = "T1 User"
if !currUser!.commit() {
print ("Failed to commit")
}
else {
let u = user.query().fetch()
print("Num users \(u?.count ?? 0)")
}
}
}
It works without problems.
For some reason, if you instantiate the currUser as a class member variable, as your example:
public var currUser = user()
it won't work.
