To reduce redundant data I have made a parent entity of User. Both patient and Midwife are children of User.
The only additional data is that a Midwife has a set of patients and a Patient can have a set of midwifes.
When I am populating the managed objects to core data it shows that their relationships to the correct objects.
The problem is, when I try to retrieve the object using the User class the relationship of the ManagedObject is pointing to the wrong object (it actually points to the same ManagedObject).
I query core data using the predicate NSString *predicateString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"username == '%@' AND password == '%@'", username, password];
When I attempt to login using my helper method I check to see if the object is a Midwife or a Patient so I know what relationship to call. But the relationship is pointing to the wrong object.
[User userWithUsername:username
password:password
success:^(id user) {
if([user isKindOfClass:[Midwife class]])
{
NSLog(@"Midwife : %@", [user fullName]);
dispatch_sync(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"midwifeDashboard" sender:self];
});
}
else if([user isKindOfClass:[Patient class]])
{
NSLog(@"Patient : %@", [user fullName]);
dispatch_sync(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"patientDashboard" sender:self];
});
}
}
failure:^(NSError *error) {
NSLog(@"Error %@", [error description]);
dispatch_sync(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
[SVProgressHUD showErrorWithStatus:@"Invalid username or password"];
});
}];
It knows what class the object is and calls the correct segue but this is where my data and their relationships become corrupt.
I assume it is because I am casting a Midwife Managed Object to a User Managed Object but how can I do this?
Thanks in advance.
Edit
I perform the fetch request like so
NSManagedObjectContext* context = [[[MDCDataStore sharedInstance] store] newPrivateContext];
NSEntityDescription *entityDescription = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:entityName inManagedObjectContext:context];
[context performBlock:^{
NSFetchRequest *fetchRequest = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];
[fetchRequest setEntity:entityDescription];
[fetchRequest setPredicate:predicate];
NSArray *fetchedObjects = [context executeFetchRequest:fetchRequest error:nil];
}];
Could it be the entityDescription messing this up?
