Re: How to validate Core Data attributes ? (example in official doc doesn't work)

I’ve stuck it out with Core Data through several projects, but I *never* use Core Data’s validation because it usually raises exceptions as objects are being constructed, presenting inscrutable errors to the user. So I can’t explain why your validate is not getting called. But if you did fix i

Re: How to validate Core Data attributes ? (example in official doc doesn't work)

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with Core Data. I feel like it probably should be reimagined for Swift. So far my use case has been light and it didn't bite my in the butt yet. But I did submit a few Core Data tickets to bugreport. Haven't received any replies from any of them yet. It's

Re: How to validate Core Data attributes ? (example in official doc doesn't work)

You're the hero man! I totally forgot about the @objc case in swift 4. After prefixing it to my validation method, it works! And if you don't mind me asking, what do you use instead of Core Data? It's indeed not that friendly to swift (relationships being NSSet instead of Set etc). Also I don'

Re: How to validate Core Data attributes ? (example in official doc doesn't work)

Thanks for quick reply. I guess i should provide the full context, sorry I was unclear. In my case, the location attribute is actually defined on a parent entity (let's call it Parent), and it has two child entity (Child1 and Child2), I want location to be optional for Child1 but not for Child2

Re: How To Install El Capitan From Sierra?

My coworker was able to dig up an archive of installers. I used the createinstallmedia command in the El Capitan installer, but Startup Disk didn't show the install drive as a potential boot volume. I was able to get into the installer drive by holding the Option key at boot, then selecting "Insta
