Cell data not showing up in UITableView? - ios

Question

Any idea how i can be making this GET request with Alamofire - getting exactly what I want back - passing the info to the func tableView(tableView: UITableView - populating and returning each cell and yet my table, simply, will not show the loaded data?
From within the AlamoFire promised return i call self.refresh() which calls this in the main thread:
func refresh() {
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(),{
self.tableView.reloadData()
});

Any ideas? This is literally driving me nuts. Thanks for any ideas or solutions in advance!

make sure you set the Reuse Identifier in the attribute inspector! in my case it was 'ToolTableViewCell'
Thanks!
