CKQueryOperation queryCompletionBlock only runs 3 times

Question

I\'m trying to download a batch of records from my iCloud public database using CloudKit and the cursor. The code works fine for the first 3 executions, regardless of how t

The way you're defining nextOp inside of your queryCompletionBlock scope is causing a problem after three iterations of that block. If you break the creation of the CKQueryOperation out into its own method your problem goes away.

Here is the code:

func fetchedDetailRecord(record: CKRecord!) -> Void {
    println("Retrieved record: \(record)")
}

func createQueryOperation(cursor: CKQueryCursor? = nil) -> CKQueryOperation {
    var operation:CKQueryOperation
    if (cursor != nil) {
        operation = CKQueryOperation(cursor: cursor!)
    } else {
        operation = CKQueryOperation(query: CKQuery(...))
    }
    operation.recordFetchedBlock = self.fetchedDetailRecord
    operation.resultsLimit = 5
    operation.queryCompletionBlock = { [weak self]
        (cursor: CKQueryCursor!, error: NSError!) -> Void in
        println("comp block called with \(cursor) \(error)")
        if error != nil {
            println("Error on fetch \(error.userInfo)")
        } else {
            if cursor != nil {
                self!.publicDatabase?.addOperation(self!.createQueryOperation(cursor: cursor))
                println("added next fetch")
            } else {
                self!.fileHandle!.closeFile()
                self!.exportProgressIndicator.stopAnimation(self) 
            }
        }
    }
    return operation
}

func doQuery() {
    println("Querying records...")
    self.publicDatabase?.addOperation(createQueryOperation())
}
