How can I debug NSManagedObjects in XCode debugger?

Question

Hi All, How do you get to the values of your Entity (sub class of NSManaged Object) when in the XCode debugger? I get lost among the NSObject and _cd_XXX structures.

Answer 1

In the Debugger Console type

po [your_entity your_property]

I don't really know another useful way, as the entity may e.g. be faulted and also the NSManagedObject structure isn't really helpful, as you already noticed.

Answer 2

If you select the entity in the variables pane and then choose "Print Description to Console" from the contextual menu, you get a textual dump of the entity.
