Crash when extension changes @Published from separate file

Development Compiler
1

it seems that if a function within an extension accesses an @Published property (possibly any Property Wrapper), then iff the extension is in a separate file to the main class, the compiler crashes

e.g.

//Test.swift
import Foundation
import SwiftUI

class Test:ObservableObject {
    @Published var count:Int = 0
}

and

//Test+Edit.swift
import Foundation
import SwiftUI

extension Test {
    func changeCount() {
        count = 2
    }
}

This causes a crash

whereas putting them both in one file like so:

//Test.swift
import Foundation
import SwiftUI

class Test:ObservableObject {
    @Published var count:Int = 0
}


extension Test {
    func changeCount() {
        count = 2
    }
}

this is fine

I have the same issue, but I also use @Published in a parent class:

class A  {
    @Published var item: ItemHandler.Item
    .
    .
}

class B: A {
    // call to self.item here and build fails with the same error
}
3

Is this a bug or are we doing something wrong when we think we can modify the var from eg. an extension?

I did this as a workaround:

@Published var isRequestActive = false
func set(isRequestActive value: Bool) { isRequestActive = value } // Workaround

Have someone filed a swift bug regarding this?

I haven't filed a bug

Have you tried using Xcode 11.4.1 or a trunk snapshot from swift.org? The bug might have already been fixed.

6

Good point! I'm using 11.3.1 due to external dependencies in my project, but I have latest XCode installed but can not run it due to old macOS. I'll upgrade and report back.

nope, I don't have either of these handy. It's a trivial two-file test though if you do.

This works in Xcode Version 11.4 (11E146).

I just found a workaround in Xcode 11.3.1.

If you wrap your code in a block and execute it the compiler does not fail.

extension Test {
    func changeCount() {
        { self.count = 2 }()
    }
}
