Question

I have some entities in core data, and they are all sub classes of a super class which has a NSDate attribute,

and all others works well when I save them,

but one of them would seemingly probabilisticly crash when I save it,

and I found the reason is about its NSDate attribute inherited from its super Class,

when I set the date value for the NSDate attribute, it crashes and log out this:

2012-02-10 00:24:34.474 EasyWallet[37772:707] -[__NSDate managedObjectContext]: unrecognized 
selector sent to instance 0xdc54c30

terminate called throwing an exception(gdb) 

and here is my code for saving these attributes

... // get keys
 self.rowKeys = [NSMutableArray arrayWithObjects:@"personName",@"amount",@"incomingAccount",
                    @"date",@"returnDate",@"isReturned",@"memo",nil];
... // saving
for (int i = 0; i < [self.rowKeys count]; i++) {
    NSLog(@"%d: %@",i,[rowValues valueForKey:key(i)]);
    [newMo setValue:[self.rowValues valueForKey:key(i)] forKey:key(i)];
}

the key(i) here is a macro define:

#define key(X) [rowKeys objectAtIndex:(X)]

and the date was printed out like this, with no surprise.

2012-02-10 16:00:00 +0000

when it comes to save “date” attribute, it crashes, but fewer times it just passed.

I got that date from a UIDatePicker, and I’ve checked my codes finding nothing wrong I think.

Really need some help!

Thanks a lot!

I’ve fixed it.

The problem is that I made a silly mistake of sending some NSDate method to a non-NSDate ojbect, in some very secret place.

Just pay attention to your codes, especially confusing parts.
