Core Data NSTimeInterval using an accessor directly is buggy

Question

I\'m setting an NSTimeInterval using setValueForKey within an NSManagedObject Subclass, the value gets set correctly, and is also correct when it is retrieved using valueFor

Answer 1

Assigning to self.valueForKey("dateLastSynced") won't work; it's not an lvalue. You need to use setValueForKey.

Also, if the dateLastSynced is a date property, you cannot assign it a double value and expect it to work. Use

self.setValue(NSDate(timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate: ), forKey:"dateLastSynced")
