if (win) {
// Game was won, set completed in puzzle and time
// Calculate seconds taken
int timeTaken = (int)([NSDate timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate] - self.gameStartTime);
int bestTime = [[self.puzzle valueForKey:@"bestTime"] intValue];
if (timeTaken < bestTime && bestTime != 0) {
[self.puzzle setValue:[NSNumber numberWithInt:timeTaken] forKey:@"bestTime"];
NSLog(@"Best time for %@ is %@", [self.puzzle valueForKey:@"name"], [self.puzzle valueForKey:@"bestTime"]);
}
}
This is some code from an iPad game I am making and I am using Core Data for storing the levels. When a level is completed and won, I want to set the best time for that level. The time taken is calculated, and if it is better than the previous best time, I want to set it as the best time for the level.
This code fails on the 'int bestTime' line when it tries to retrieve the best time from self.puzzle which is an NSManagedObject from Core Data. The best time is stored as an Integer 32 in the Core Data model. It fails with a SIGABRT error.
'[<NSManagedObject 0x95334d0> valueForUndefinedKey:]: the entity Puzzle is not key value coding-compliant for the key "bestTime".'
I have searched online for reasons as to why this is happening and how to fix it, but nothing seems to have helped. There are other places where I access Integer values from the Core Data model and they work perfectly, although they are used to filter and sort queries.
I also don't know if the line where I set the value will work.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: This is the code that fetches an array of puzzles of which one is taken to be the above puzzle.
// Define our table/entity to use
NSEntityDescription *entity = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:@"Puzzle" inManagedObjectContext:managedObjectContext];
// Setup the fetch request
NSFetchRequest *request = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];
[request setEntity:entity];
// Set the filter for just the difficulty we want
NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"difficulty == %d", difficulty];
[request setPredicate:predicate];
// Define how we will sort the records
NSSortDescriptor *sortDescriptor = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"sortid" ascending:YES];
NSArray *sortDescriptors = [NSArray arrayWithObject:sortDescriptor];
[request setSortDescriptors:sortDescriptors];
[sortDescriptor release];
// Fetch the records and handle an error
NSError *error;
NSMutableArray *mutableFetchResults = [[managedObjectContext executeFetchRequest:request error:&error] mutableCopy];
