Error Readout:1st Error:this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key managedObjectContext
2nd Error:NSImageCell's object value must be an NSImage
Fix:1st Error:
There is one prominent reason you could get this answer. You didn't spell your property correctly when you were binding it to....well....whatever you want to bind it to, in my case it was an
Array Controller.
My problem however had nothing to do with this. When I created a new project after I upgraded to xCode 3.2 I forgot to check one very import checkbox,
Create document-based application (Note: it was not a check box in older version of xCode it was a full icon selection upon creating a project). By not checking this I created a big variety of problems for myself. One of the errors occurring when I didn't check the
Create document-based application, was the error
this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key managedObjectContext. 2nd Error:
This error is very clear in it's issue. I was creating an entity with a property of native type binary and the compiler wanted NSImage. Grrr but I should be able to pass an image as a binary object, I would say to myself as I had urges to break my laptop and anything else in reach over my knee. My fix again was to simply create a project and remember to click
Create document-based application. I know this is not your typical fix, but in case someone else runs into this issue the same way I did I hope they find this and it will be a quick and easy resolution.
Explanation:
All of this pain could have been resolved from the very beginning had I known to click
Create document-based application. It was a silly little mistake that cost me a few hours. In my defense however I was under the impression of not checking
Create document-based because in Hillegass's
book he states that for this exercise we will not be using NSDocument,
but NSPersistentDocument instead. It turns out this still means you
have to check
Create document-based application.I will state that I should have known something was wrong
when I didn't have a MyDocument.xib in the
Resource folder after I
created the project.
I've attached an image, mainly because blog posts are more fun when there is an image, but also because it shows where this one simple little check box changed my life for a hot minute.
