Realm Exception - updates on Realm objects, persisted or not - ios

Question

I am using Realm in my app.
I want to use the same viewController for update / insert a meal object.
Here is DayOverviewController, which displays meals that user had on a specific date.
This DayOverviewController segues to NewMealTableViewController, in two scenarios - a new meal is added, or a meal is clicked - to be edited.
I get a Realm exception when a new meal should be added, more exactly I get it when I should return to DayOverviewController ( save button is pressed, meal is added to Realm, but mealTable.reloadData() - from viewWillAppear, in DayOverviewController crashes before calling cellForRowAtIndexPath.)
It seems that somehow transaction is not closed before calling popViewControllerAnimated - in NewMealTableViewController.
Exception:
Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'RLMException', reason: 'Attempting to modify object outside of a write transaction - call beginWriteTransaction on an RLMRealm instance first.'
I didn't managed to find out what line of code is causing this exception.
class DayOverviewController: UIViewController{
#IBOutlet weak var mealTable: UITableView!
let realm = try! Realm()
var meals: Results<Meal>!
var selectedMeal: Meal?
override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillAppear(animated)
getMealsFromDay(selectedDate){
self.mealTable.reloadData()
}
}
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
if segue.identifier == "NewMeal" {
let meal = Meal()
meal.date = selectedDate
let newMealController = segue.destinationViewController as! NewMealTableViewController
newMealController.meal = meal
newMealController.kindOfController = .InserterController
}
if segue.identifier == "EditMeal" {
if let meal = selectedMeal{
let updaterController = segue.destinationViewController as! NewMealTableViewController
updaterController.meal = meal
updaterController.kindOfController = .UpdaterController
}
}
}
}
extension DayOverviewController: UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate{
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("mealCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! MealOverviewCell
cell.typeOfMealLabel.text = meals[indexPath.row].dishType
cell.foodItemsLabel.text = meals[indexPath.row].foodItems
cell.feedbackLabel.text = EmonjiCalculator.getEmonji(Array(meals[indexPath.row].reactions))
return cell
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
selectedMeal = meals[indexPath.row]
performSegueWithIdentifier("EditMeal", sender: self)
}
}
extension DayOverviewController{
func getMealsFromDay(selectedDate: NSDate, completionBlock : () -> Void ) {
let dayStart = NSCalendar.currentCalendar().startOfDayForDate(selectedDate)
let dayEnd: NSDate = {
let components = NSDateComponents()
components.day = 1
components.second = -1
return NSCalendar.currentCalendar().dateByAddingComponents(components, toDate: dayStart, options: NSCalendarOptions())!
}()
self.meals = realm.objects(Meal).filter("date BETWEEN %#", [dayStart, dayEnd])
completionBlock()
}
func deleteMeal(meal: Meal){
realm.beginWrite()
realm.delete(meal.reactions)
realm.delete(meal)
try! realm.commitWrite()
}
}

case UpdaterController
case InserterController
}
class NewMealTableViewController: UITableViewController, UITextViewDelegate{

#IBOutlet weak var foodItemsTextView: UITextView!

switch segue.destinationViewController {
case let controller as MealSelectorTableViewController:

}
}
func saveMeal(saveButton: UIBarButtonItem){
if kindOfController == .InserterController {

self.navigationController?.popViewControllerAnimated(true)
}
}
}
func textViewDidEndEditing(textView: UITextView) {
if kindOfController == .UpdaterController{
updateMeal{
self.meal.foodItems = textView.text
}
} else {
meal.foodItems = textView.text
}
}
}
extension NewMealTableViewController{
func updateMeal(updateBlock: ()->()){
try! realm.write(){
updateBlock()
}
}
func insertNewMeal(completionBlock: () -> ()){
meal.id = NSUUID().UUIDString
realm.beginWrite()
realm.add(meal)
try! realm.commitWrite()
completionBlock()
}
}

Answer 1

It looks like it's this part of your code:
} else {
meal.foodItems = textView.text
}
It should be inside the closure for method updateMeal().
EDIT 2:
I suggest:
} else {
try! realm.write(){
meal.foodItems = textView.text
}
}
and
realm.beginWrite()
meal.id = NSUUID().UUIDString
realm.add(meal)
try! realm.commitWrite()
completionBlock()
