Core Data auto-generated Swift files errors?

Jean-Denis_Muys1 · 2017-01-16T06:01:39.000Z

Hi,

Using Xcode 8.2.1 I just created a brand new document-based Cocoa
application using Core Data and Swift. I created a single entity in the
Document.xcdatamodeld file. I selected "Class Definition" in the CodeGen
pop up menu in the inspector.

My entity is named PHAudioFile.

I then asked Xcode to generate the files with the "Create NSManagedObject
subclasses". It generated two files:

- PHAudioFile+CoreDataClass.swift
- PHAudioFile+CoreDataProperties.swift

But everything breaks. Building the project, I now get several errors
similar to this:

<unknown>:0: error: filename "PHAudioFile+CoreDataClass.swift" used twice:
'/Users/jdmuys/Phoenix/PHAudioFile+CoreDataClass.swift' and
'/Users/jdmuys/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Phoenix-buxfnwoppzieggdrogkoajdyimri/Build/Intermediates/Phoenix.build/Debug/Phoenix.build/DerivedSources/CoreDataGenerated/Document/PHAudioFile+CoreDataClass.swift'

<unknown>:0: note: filenames are used to distinguish private declarations
with the same name

More over, the Xcode editor shows many syntax errors in the generated files.

PHAudioFile+CoreDataClass.swift contains this:

import Foundation

import CoreData

@objc(PHAudioFile)

public class PHAudioFile: NSManagedObject {

}

With this error on the "public class PHAudioFile" line:

"Invalid redeclaration of PHAudioFile"

PHAudioFile+CoreDataProperties.swift starts with this line:

extension PHAudioFile {

Which breaks with:

"'PHAudioFile' is ambiguous for type lookup in this context"

and of course every line thereafter breaks too.

Searching for 'PHAudioFile' in my Xcode project, finds only those two
files. In particular I can't find any other declaration for 'PHAudioFile'.

Am I missing something, or is this broken?

Thanks,

Jean-Denis

This would probably be better-suited on the Xcode list than here as I think it's a bug in Xcode.

I've had issues when trying out this new CoreData codegen feature. What fixes it for me is to go to:

~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData

and delete the entire directory for the build of my project that is there and then it re-generates everything correctly.

HTH,

This is better suited to the Apple developer forums/stack overflow, FYI.

I selected "Class Definition" in the CodeGen pop up menu in the inspector.

This tells Xcode to automatically create and maintain the entity classes for you. They don't show up in the project navigator because they're autogenerated files, but they're available via autocomplete and command-click jump to definition.

I then asked Xcode to generate the files with the "Create NSManagedObject subclasses".

Xcode has already generated NSManagedObject subclasses for you, so you've now created duplicate classes. That's why you're getting this:

But everything breaks. Building the project, I now get several errors similar to this:

<unknown>:0: error: filename "PHAudioFile+CoreDataClass.swift" used twice:

TL;DR: Don't create NSManagedObject subclasses manually—they're already created and automatically updated for you in Xcode 8.

A great article on a subject.

Core Data Code Generation

When working with Core Data it is common to create subclasses of NSManagedObject for each entity in the data model for easy property access and other helper methods. Starting with Xcode 8 the default for new entities is for Xcode to automatically...
