"Has no segue with identifier" error occurs only when performSegue is called on `tableView (_: didSelectRowAt:)`

Question

I'm struggling the whole day to fix "has no segue with identifier" error and got stuck.

Error message:

SegueTest[41862:1585831] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException',
reason: 'Receiver (<SegueTest.TableViewController: 0x7feed6510260>) has no segue with identifier 'tableToCollectionSegue''
*** First throw call stack:

Capture of segue configuration for ViewController (👌 Working)

Capture of segue configuration for TableViewController (❌ Getting error)

Environment:

• macOS Mojave 10.14.2
• Xcode 10.1
• Swift 4.2

What I did in Main.storyboard:

1. Created UINavigationController as an initial view controller and connect to RootViewController as a root view controller

2. Create UINavigationController that opened from RootViewController as a modal view

3. Connected the Open Modal button with the modal UINavigationController and named it navigationSegue

4. Create ViewController, TableViewController, and CollectionViewController

5. Connect the modal UINavigationController with the ViewController as a root view controller

6. Connect the ViewController with the TableViewController as a triggered segue (manual) named viewToTableSegue

7. Connect the TableViewController with the CollectionViewController as a triggered segue (manual) named tableToCollectionSegue

8. Connect the the Next Button on the ViewController with @IBAction func didTapNext(_ sender: Any) declared in ViewController.swift

How the error occurs:

When I called performSegue(withIdentifier:sender:) in ViewController.swift, it works. (Segue capture)

// Go to TableViewController
@IBAction func didTapNext(_ sender: Any) {
    // 👌 Working
    self.performSegue(withIdentifier: "viewToTableSegue", sender: nil)
}

When I called performSegue(withIdentifier:sender:) in TableViewController.swift, it got the error. (Segue capture)

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, 
                        didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    self.tableView.deselectRow(at: indexPath, animated: true)

    // ❌ The segue `tableToCollectionSegue` is connected
    //    from `TableViewController` to `UICollectionViewController`,
    //    but got error.
    //
    // *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException',
    // reason: 'Receiver (<SegueTest.TableViewController: 0x7feeea04a090>) has no segue with identifier 'tableToCollectionSegue''

    self.performSegue(withIdentifier: "tableToCollectionSegue", sender: nil)

    // ❌ The segue `tableToCollectionSegue` is not connected
    //    from `UINavigationController` to `UICollectionViewController`.
    //    This error is expected.
    //
    // *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException',
    // reason: 'Receiver (<SegueTest.TableViewController: 0x7feeea04a090>) has no segue with identifier 'tableToCollectionSegue''

    // self.navigationController?.performSegue(withIdentifier: "tableToCollectionSegue", sender: self)
}

What I have read:

• performSegueWithIdentifier has no segue with identifier
• Receiver has no segue with identifier error message
• performSegueWithIdentifier produce no segue with identifier error
• Segue Error : ViewController has no segue with identifier
• And more

What I have tried:

• Make sure the segue identifiers are correctly specified and actually connected
• Reset all simulator settings and contents
• Clean Xcode Build Folders and ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ directory
• Rename Storyboard
• Restart and rebuild Xcode project
• Restart Mac

Answer 1

Remove the following lines from TableViewController:

required public init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
    super.init(style: .plain)
}
