Collection View Cell Button not triggering action

Question

So I have a button that looks like a pencil in a collection view cell xib.

Then I have this code.

func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {

    let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "groupsCollectionViewCellIdentifier", for: indexPath) as! GroupCollectionViewCell

    //add action to the edit button
    cell.editButton.tag = indexPath.row
    cell.editButton.addTarget(self, action: #selector(GroupsCollectionViewController.editGroupAction), for: .touchUpInside)

    return cell
}

//segue to edit group
func editGroupAction() {
    performSegue(withIdentifier: "editGroupSegue", sender: self)
}

But whenever I click the edit button. Nothing is happening. I wonder what's missing.

Answer 1

I realize this ticket is pretty old, but I had the same problem, and found a different solution.

I ran Xcode with the view-debugger. While the button was sized correctly, it's superview had a width of 0 points. This would make it impossible to tap on this button, or any other subviews.

Just mentioning this, as it might be worth trying out.

Answer 2

Try this one on your cell

cell.contentView.isUserInteractionEnabled = false
