Swift: detecting an unexpected nil value in a non-optional at runtime: casting as optional fails

Question

I have a UITableViewController loading its entries from Core Data via a NSFetchedResultsController. Like this:

let historyItem = fe         


        

Answer 1

I think you should make your title an optional if core data can return nil value for title

@NSManaged var title: String?

And test it without the cast

if let possibleTitle = historyItem.title{
    NSLog("possibleTitle was set OK")
} else {
    NSLog("possibleTitle was nil")
}
