Expression type '@lvalue String?' is ambiguous without more context

Question

Out of nothing I got this error Expression type \'@lvalue String?\' is ambiguous without more context in my code:

    if textView.text != \"\" &         


        

Answer 1

Two things are wrong:

textView.text != "" You are comparing an optional String with a non-optional one.

Replace by:

if let text = textView.text, text != ""

Then in your constructor, don't unwrap the text!

If you want keep the optional :

self.text = text ?? "" //will avoid crash

Or better:

init(text: String = "")
