Question

I have been looking at this for hours but can’t find out what’s wrong.
I am trying to update objects via core data once a button is pressed.

Apple documentation states that: This method raises an NSInvalidArgumentException if aSelector is NULL.

I don’t see how aSelector is Null, it would be appreciated if someone could point out what I am missing.

-(void)updatePaymentFields:(NSString*) aValue {
NSLog(@"I'm inside Update Payment Fields");
[self setValue:aValue forKey:@"amountPaid"];
}

This is the button pressed method which should call the above updatePaymentFields: method

- (IBAction)saleCompleteButtonTapped:(id)sender {
Invoice_MarketAppDelegate* delegate = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];

NSManagedObjectContext* managedObjectContext = delegate.managedObjectContext;

NSFetchRequest *fetchRequest = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];
NSEntityDescription *entity = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:@"Invoice"     inManagedObjectContext:managedObjectContext];
[fetchRequest setEntity:entity];
NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"invoiceNumber == %@", invoiceNumberLabel.text];
NSLog(@"predicate is: %@",predicate);
[fetchRequest setPredicate:predicate];

NSLog(@"I'm inside saleCompleteButtonTapped");
NSError* error;
NSMutableArray *mutableFetchResults = [[[managedObjectContext executeFetchRequest:fetchRequest error:&error]mutableCopy ]autorelease];
NSLog(@"array:%@",mutableFetchResults);
NSLog(@"%@",amountPaidStr);
[mutableFetchResults makeObjectsPerformSelector:@selector(updatePaymentFields:) withObject:amountPaidStr];
}

This is the Log output

)

I suspect that I should have the code inside the method

 - (void)makeObjectsPerformSelector:(SEL)aSelector withObject:(id)anObject {
 NSLog(@"I'm inside the makeObjectsPerformSelector");
 }

But I then don’t know how to call this inside my buttonPressedMethod, I can’t simply do

[self makeObjectsPerformSelector:withObject:];

Any Help would be appreciated. Thanks

Answer 1

It looks like your Invoice class doesn’t have an instance method updatePaymentFields:. Are you sure you put that method in the right class?
