Core Data - NSInvalidArgumentException - ios

Question

there's not much to say, i have done another application for core data everything went always fine.
This application is giving a weird error.
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '+entityForName: nil is not a legal NSManagedObjectContext parameter searching for entity name 'Ingredient''
*** First throw call stack:(0x1faa012 0x13e7e7e 0x10edf57 0x1134052 0x3211 0x11a04b 0x2fe2 0x22c1 0x19157 0x19747 0x1a94b 0x2bcb5 0x2cbeb 0x1e698 0x1f05df9 0x1f05ad0 0x1f1fbf5 0x1f1f962 0x1f50bb6 0x1f4ff44 0x1f4fe1b 0x1a17a 0x1bffc 0x20dd 0x2005)
vlibc++abi.dylib: terminate called throwing an exception
i tried to simplify my app using only the app delegate and a mainViewController, in the MainViewController i tried to add an pbject to my Coredata just to see if everithing is working. This is my model
App delegate
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
MasterViewController *masterViewController = [[MasterViewController alloc]initWithNibName:#"MasterViewController" bundle:nil];
masterViewController.managedObjectContext = self.managedObjectContext;
[self.window setRootViewController:masterViewController];
self.window.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
- (NSManagedObjectContext *)managedObjectContext
{
if (_managedObjectContext != nil) {
return _managedObjectContext;
}
NSPersistentStoreCoordinator *coordinator = [self persistentStoreCoordinator];
if (coordinator != nil) {
_managedObjectContext = [[NSManagedObjectContext alloc] init];
[_managedObjectContext setPersistentStoreCoordinator:coordinator];
}
return _managedObjectContext;
}
- (NSManagedObjectModel *)managedObjectModel
{
if (_managedObjectModel != nil) {
return _managedObjectModel;
}
NSURL *modelURL = [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:#"pizzaCoreData" withExtension:#"momd"];
_managedObjectModel = [[NSManagedObjectModel alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:modelURL];
return _managedObjectModel;
}
- (NSPersistentStoreCoordinator *)persistentStoreCoordinator
{
if (_persistentStoreCoordinator != nil) {
return _persistentStoreCoordinator;
}
NSURL *storeURL = [[self applicationDocumentsDirectory] URLByAppendingPathComponent:#"pizzaCoreData.sqlite"];
NSError *error = nil;
_persistentStoreCoordinator = [[NSPersistentStoreCoordinator alloc] initWithManagedObjectModel:[self managedObjectModel]];
if (![_persistentStoreCoordinator addPersistentStoreWithType:NSSQLiteStoreType configuration:nil URL:storeURL options:nil error:&error]) {
/*
Replace this implementation with code to handle the error appropriately.
abort() causes the application to generate a crash log and terminate. You should not use this function in a shipping application, although it may be useful during development.
Typical reasons for an error here include:
* The persistent store is not accessible;
* The schema for the persistent store is incompatible with current managed object model.
Check the error message to determine what the actual problem was.
If the persistent store is not accessible, there is typically something wrong with the file path. Often, a file URL is pointing into the application's resources directory instead of a writeable directory.
If you encounter schema incompatibility errors during development, you can reduce their frequency by:
* Simply deleting the existing store:
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] removeItemAtURL:storeURL error:nil]
* Performing automatic lightweight migration by passing the following dictionary as the options parameter:
#{NSMigratePersistentStoresAutomaticallyOption:#YES, NSInferMappingModelAutomaticallyOption:#YES}
Lightweight migration will only work for a limited set of schema changes; consult "Core Data Model Versioning and Data Migration Programming Guide" for details.
*/
NSLog(#"Unresolved error %#, %#", error, [error userInfo]);
abort();
}
return _persistentStoreCoordinator;
}
- (NSURL *)applicationDocumentsDirectory
{
return [[[NSFileManager defaultManager] URLsForDirectory:NSDocumentDirectory inDomains:NSUserDomainMask] lastObject];
}
MainViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
TableIngredientsViewController *tableIngredientVC = [[TableIngredientsViewController alloc]init];
TablePizzasViewController *tablePizzaVC = [[TablePizzasViewController alloc]init];
NSManagedObject *newPizza = [NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:#"Ingredient" inManagedObjectContext:_managedObjectContext];
[newPizza setValue:#"TIMIDA" forKey:#"name"];
NSError *error;
if (![_managedObjectContext save:&error]){
NSLog(#"Error %# %#", error, [error userInfo]);
}
UINavigationController *ingredientNavController = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:tableIngredientVC];
UINavigationController *pizzaNavController = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:tablePizzaVC];
[self setViewControllers:#[pizzaNavController, ingredientNavController]];
}
This is a screenshot of the model:

i have updated my AppDelegate, i forgot copy last methods

Answer 1

Your _managedObjectContext is nil when you are doing this
NSManagedObject *newPizza = [NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:#"Ingredient" inManagedObjectContext:_managedObjectContext];
So before passing your context to a view controller make sure it is initialized properly.

Answer 2

You have to take your managedObjectContext from your appDelegate. So in your MainController instead of:
_managedObjectContext
use:
((AppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate]).managedObjectContext
