Strange error inserting new relationship data in core-data
- by michael
My app will allow users to create a personalised list of events from a large list of events. I have a table view which simply displays these events, tapping on one of them takes the user to the event details view, which has a button "add to my events".
In this detailed view I own the original event object, retrieved via an NSFetchedResultsController and passed to the detailed view (via a table cell, the same as the core data recipes sample). I have no trouble retrieving/displaying information from this "event". I am then trying to add it to the list of MyEvents represented by a one to many (inverse) relationship:
This code:
NSManagedObjectContext *context = [event managedObjectContext];
MyEvents *myEvents = (MyEvents *)[NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:@"MyEvents" inManagedObjectContext:context];
[myEvents addEventObject:event];//ERROR
And this code (suggested below):
//would this add to or overwrite the "list" i am attempting to maintain
NSManagedObjectContext *context = [event managedObjectContext];
MyEvents *myEvents = (MyEvents *)[NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:@"MyEvents" inManagedObjectContext:context];
NSMutableSet *myEvent = [myEvents mutableSetValueForKey:@"event"];
[myEvent addObject:event]; //ERROR
Bot produce (at the line indicated by //ERROR):
*** -[NSComparisonPredicate evaluateWithObject:]: message sent to deallocated instance
Seems I may have missed something fundamental. I cant glean any more information through the use of debugging tools, with my knowledge of them.
1) Is this a valid way to compile and store an editable list like this?
2) Is there a better way?
3) What could possibly be the deallocated instance in error?

I have now modified the Event entity to have a to-many relationship called "myEvents" which referrers to itself. I can add Events to this fine, and logging the object shows the correct memory addresses appearing for the relationship after a [event addMyEventObject:event];. The same failure happens right after this however. I am still at a loss to understand what is going wrong. This is the backtrace
