How do I print an object's property to the Debugger Console in Xcode?

Question

I have an object that was created with the Core Data code generator:

.h file:

@interface MyObject :  NSManagedObject  
{
}

@property (nonatomic, retain) NSString * title;
@end

.m file:

@implementation MyObject
@dynamic title;
@end

I put a breakpoint and now I want to print the title property of one of its instances (myObject) to the console.

---

When I try po myObject.title, I get the error:

There is no member named title.

When I try po [myObject title], I get the error:

Target does not respond to this message selector.

When I try myObject.title in the Expressions window, I get the error:

out of scope

... even though myObject in the same window allows me to see some of its members.

How can I print an object's property to the console and/or Expressions window in Xcode?

Answer 1

You can get around this by using valueForKey -

po [myObject valueForKey:@"title"]

which gets tiresome pretty quickly, but works ok.
