Trying to do two Parse PFQueries but getting error - in SWIFT - ios

Question

I am currently doing two PFQueries at once, one which is a PFUser.query and one which is a standard object query. These are both trying to execute roughly at the same time. I get no errors in the code until it runs it says:
'Cannot do a comparison query for type: Swift._NSSwiftArrayImpl'
I can only assume this is because I am trying to do two different queries at once?
Can somebody add some input into what it means a bit more and how maybe to overcome it?
the code I have used for both queries is:
var query = PFQuery(className: "Traits")
query.whereKey("name", equalTo: self.names)
var waveUsers = query.findObjects()
if waveUsers != nil {
self.profile.waves.removeAll(keepCapacity: true)
for waveUser in waveUsers{
self.profile.waves.append(waveUser["waves"] as Int)
}
}
and the PFUser Query:
var query = PFUser.query()
query.whereKey("location", nearGeoPoint:geopoint)
query.limit = 20
var users = query.findObjects()
if users != nil {
self.profile.names.removeAll(keepCapacity: true)
self.profile.images.removeAll(keepCapacity: true)
self.profile.genders.removeAll(keepCapacity: true)
self.profile.locations.removeAll(keepCapacity: true)
self.profile.status.removeAll(keepCapacity: true)
self.profile.rStatus.removeAll(keepCapacity: true)
self.profile.age.removeAll(keepCapacity: true)
for user in users {
{
self.profile.names.append(user["name"] as Int)
self.profile.images.append(user["image"] as NSData)
self.profile.genders.append(user["gender"] as NSString)
self.profile.locations.append(user["location"] as PFGeoPoint)
self.profile.rStatus.append(user["relationship"] as NSString)
self.profile.age.append(user["age"] as NSInteger)
self.profile.status.append(user["status"] as NSString)
self.appsTableView.reloadData()
user.save()
}
}
thanks in advance

If you want to test whether the "name" col can be found in your self.names array, then use containsAllObjectsInArray:
equalTo operates on single objects (it can test for a single object's presence in an array type column, but you're attempting the other way around).
EDIT - Lets say you have an array of strings, and you'd like to find objects whose string column an be found in the array...
// find people in the People class who were SNL cast members
var array = ["belushi", "akroyd", "radner"];
var queries = [];
// assume underscorejs
_.each(array, function(name) {
var query = new Parse.Query("People");
query.equalTo("lastName", name);
queries.push(query.find());
});
Parse.Query.or(queries).then(function() {
var snlCastMembers = _.toArray(arguments);
});
