Question

I am following Apples Core Data Tutoriol but implementing it into my own Project, this means I’ve not started by creating a Project using Core Storage Data. So I’ve been copying and pasting quite a lot of the stuff that should of been automatically made for me, and I have run into a problem.

I am getting this error:

* Terminating app due to uncaught exception
‘NSInvalidArgumentException’, reason:
‘* -[NSURL initFileURLWithPath:]:
nil string parameter’

Which happens in this function:

- (NSManagedObjectModel *)managedObjectModel {

    if (managedObjectModel_ != nil) {
        return managedObjectModel_;
    }
    NSString *modelPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"Assignments" ofType:@"momd"];
    NSURL *modelURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:modelPath];
    managedObjectModel_ = [[NSManagedObjectModel alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:modelURL];    
    return managedObjectModel_; 

}

I have my data model in the Resources Group and its named “Assignments.xcdatamodel” so I’m stuck on what the problem is.

I am thinking in some configuration file I need to change something, or perhaps its just a simple path mistake?

Any help is much appreciated.

If you have a single version of the object model in your project you may need to use “mom” as the extension instead of “momd”. Give it a try and see if it helps!
