I have a subclass of NSTextView which I'm trying to update in my UI. When the
user clicks a button in the main UI, I run a bunch of processes in the
background, save their output to an attributed string, then update the
textview's textstorage on the main thread using performSelector(onMainThread:).
@IBAction func profileAction(_ sender: Any)
{
<background stuff that appends text to a string, then wait till
it's all done with repeat timer >...
this_timer = Timer.scheduledTimer(timeInterval: 1.0, target:
self, selector: #selector(self.myRepeatFunc),userInfo: nil, repeats: true)
this_timer.fire()
}
@objc func myRepeatFunc()
{
if stuffIsDone == true
{
this_timer.invalidate()
self.scanBtn.isEnabled = true
self.profileBtn.isEnabled = true
self.historyBtn.isEnabled = true
performSelector(onMainThread: #selector(updateUI), with: nil,
waitUntilDone: false)
}
}
@objc func updateUI()
{
let zeroAttributesString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "")
self.profilerTextView.textStorage?.setAttributedString(zeroAttributesString)
self.profilerTextView.textStorage?.setAttributedString(self.superAttributedString)
}
This works absolutely fine in both 10.11 and 10.12; however, on 10.13 I get the
dreaded "This application is modifying the autolayout engine from a background
thread after the engine was accessed from the main thread. This can lead to
engine corruption and weird crashes." message.
I've tried swapping out performSelector(onMainThread:) for
DispatchQueue.main.async to no avail. I still get the same error. I've tried
using Xcode 9's 'Main Thread Checker' diagnostic tool, but even though I have
'Pause on issues' selected, it never pauses and just lets my code run. I've
also tried symbolic breakpoints on [NSView setFrame] and
_AssertAutolayoutOnAllowedThreadsOnly from the stack trace. Neither stop my
code.
I'm out of ideas, and the rubber duck has come up short. Any advice much
appreciated (stack trace follows):
This application is modifying the autolayout engine from a background thread
after the engine was accessed from the main thread. This can lead to engine
corruption and weird crashes.
