Illegal relationship between objects in different

I get the following error:

'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'Illegal attempt to establish a relationship 'condition' between objects in different contexts

when running my iphone app. The relevant part of my model looks like this:

AssessmentTree
-has one TreeCrown

TreeCrown
-has one TreeCrownCondition
-has one AssessmentTree

TreeCrownCondition
-has many TreeCrowns

For the sake of context, I'll mention that this part of the model is designed to allow an arborist to record the condition of a tree's crown. It stores a list of options for assessing the tree crown that can also be edited by the user (So TreeCrownConditions contains the options, and TreeCrown.condition points to the specific selection made in an assessment).

I have a UIPickerView that loads these options and associates the selected option with the AssessmentTree, using the following code in didSelectRow:inComponent:

TreeCrownCondition *fc = (TreeCrownCondition *)[conditionArray objectAtIndex:[conditionPicker selectedRowInComponent:0]];
tree.crown.condition = fc;

When I run this, the first few times I select an option everything is fine, but sometimes (usually after adding/editing/deleting a TreeCrownCondition option) the app will crash on the above lines with the error I posted at the beginning.

The error seems straightforward to fix, except that I'm only using one NSManagedObjectContext throughout the entirety of my app. Each new controller grabs it when it's loaded with the following code:

if(!managedObjectContext){
    managedObjectContext = [(AppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate] managedObjectContext];
}

I couldn't find very much information about this error or how to resolve it, and I certainly didn't find anyone who'd had this problem without using multiple contexts.

I can only assume I somehow do have multiple contexts, but I can't see how that's possible. What am I missing?

Edit Heres the stack trace:

回答1:

How are you creating your Entities? If you are creating an entity without a NSManagedObjectContext it would produce the same error.

Update

From the look of your code I am guessing that what you are getting back out of the picker is not what you are expecting or unnecessarily casting to.

I would put a breakpoint on objc_throw_exception and duplicate the crash in the debugger. Once you do that then inspect the objects and I expect you will find that what you are getting out of the picker is not a NSManagedObject but something else.

回答2:

I've seen weird errors like this are often due to a stale data store. Have you tried completely removing the app from the sim or device (e.g. tap-hold delete)? Do a clean build, then build and run.

回答3:

Interestingly enough, this error can be caused by the wrong NSManaged Object inserted into another NSManaged object.

Something like this: I.E Orange A Apple B //many to one relationship

A.b = [NSOrderedset setwithObjects Orange,nil];
