Core Data NSManagedObject doesn't have a valid NSEntityDescription


I am trying to set up core data with my Xcode project and running into an error that I can't seem to get rid of. I have an entity called UserDetails inside of StudyHub.xcdatamodeld. My code in the AppDelegate:

// MARK: - Core Data stack

lazy var persistentContainer: NSPersistentContainer = {
    /*
     The persistent container for the application. This implementation
     creates and returns a container, having loaded the store for the
     application to it. This property is optional since there are legitimate
     error conditions that could cause the creation of the store to fail.
     */
    let container = NSPersistentContainer(name: "DELETE")
    container.loadPersistentStores(completionHandler: { (storeDescription, error) in
        if let error = error as NSError? {
            // Replace this implementation with code to handle the error appropriately.
            // fatalError() 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 parent directory does not exist, cannot be created, or disallows writing.
             * The persistent store is not accessible, due to permissions or data protection when the device is locked.
             * The device is out of space.
             * The store could not be migrated to the current model version.
             Check the error message to determine what the actual problem was.
             */
            fatalError("Unresolved error \(error), \(error.userInfo)")
        }
    })
    return container
}()

// MARK: - Core Data Saving support

func saveContext () {
    let context = persistentContainer.viewContext
    if context.hasChanges {
        do {
            try context.save()
        } catch {
            // Replace this implementation with code to handle the error appropriately.
            // fatalError() 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.
            let nserror = error as NSError
            fatalError("Unresolved error \(nserror), \(nserror.userInfo)")
        }
    }
}

// MARK: Send Data to CoreData

func saveUserDetails(data: [String: String]) {
    let appDelegate = UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate
    let context = appDelegate.persistentContainer.viewContext
    let user = UserDetails(context: context)
    if let authenticatedWith = data["authenticatedWith"] {
        user.authenticatedWith = authenticatedWith
    }
    if let email = data["email"] {
        user.email = email
    }
    if let fullName = data["fullName"] {
        user.fullName = fullName
    }
    if let username = data["username"] {
        user.username = username
    }
    if let schoolName = data["schoolName"] {
        user.schoolName = schoolName
    }
    if let schoolUID = data["schoolUID"] {
        user.schoolUID = schoolUID
    }
    if let facebookLink = data["facebookLink"] {
        user.facebookLink = facebookLink
    }
    if let twitterLink = data["twitterLink"] {
        user.twitterLink = twitterLink
    }
    if let instagramLink = data["instagramLink"] {
        user.instagramLink = instagramLink
    }
    if let vscoLink = data["vscoLink"] {
        user.vscoLink = vscoLink
    }
    appDelegate.saveContext()
}

My code for retrieving the data stored inside of a ViewController:

let user = UserDetails()

if (user.username != "") {
    self.navigationItem.title = user.username
} else {
    self.navigationItem.title = "Account."
}
self.usersNameLabel.text = user.fullName
if (user.schoolName != "") {
    self.usersSchoolNameLabel.setTitle(user.schoolName, for: .normal)
    self.usersSchoolNameLabel.isHidden = false
} else {
    self.addSchoolButton.isHidden = false
}
self.checkSocialLink(link: user.facebookLink!, button: self.facebookLinkButton) // TODO: Force unwrap might not work
self.checkSocialLink(link: user.twitterLink!, button: self.twitterLinkButton)
self.checkSocialLink(link: user.instagramLink!, button: self.instagramLinkButton)
self.checkSocialLink(link: user.vscoLink!, button: self.vscoLinkButton)

The error I am getting:

Solution

  • Try changing:

    let container = NSPersistentContainer(name: "DELETE")
    

    to this:

    let container = NSPersistentContainer(name: "StudyHub")
    

    According to documentation:

    By default, the provided name value is used to name the persistent store and is used to look up the name of the NSManagedObjectModel object to be used with the NSPersistentContainer object.
