Question

I run my app and then fetched my data. Data is ok. When I run second time I got fault for my old values. What is wrong?

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
 NSEntityDescription *entity = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:@"Test" inManagedObjectContext:[self managedObjectContext]]; 
    for (int i =0; i<2; i++) 
    {
        Test *test = [[[Test alloc] initWithEntity:entity insertIntoManagedObjectContext:[self managedObjectContext]] autorelease];
        test.text = @"Text";
        test.index = [NSNumber numberWithInt:i];
    }
    [self saveContext];
}


-(void) showValues
{    
 NSEntityDescription *entity = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:@"Test" inManagedObjectContext:[self managedObjectContext]];
 NSFetchRequest *request = [[[NSFetchRequest alloc] init] autorelease];
 [request setEntity:entity];    
 NSError *error;    
 NSArray *array = [[self managedObjectContext] executeFetchRequest:request error:&error];
 NSLog(@"Array: %@ ", array);    
}

Answer 1

<fault> does not mean that your data is corrupted. It means that it is dynamically linked with the fetched results and the actual object will be loaded when any attempt is made to access any value/property from the object. remember – you have used @dynamic in .m file?
That’s why it shows <fault> when you NSLog with array and fault disappears when you access any property of the object NSLog(@"Test: %@ ", test.text);
