I have an image (UIImage and it's url too) and I'm trying to send it to CloudKit as a CKAsset but I'm having this error: Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'Non-file URL'
. Here is the code:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
send2Cloud()
}
func send2Cloud() {
let newUser = CKRecord(recordType: "User")
let url = NSURL(string: self.photoURL)
let asset = CKAsset(fileURL: url!)
newUser["name"] = self.name
newUser["photo"] = asset
let publicData = CKContainer.defaultContainer().publicCloudDatabase
publicData.saveRecord(newUser, completionHandler: { (record: CKRecord?, error: NSError?) in
if error == nil {
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), { () -> Void in
print("User saved")
})
} else {
print(error?.localizedDescription)
}
})
}
I have the URL, I can print it, copy and paste to my navigator and it will show my image! So, I don't know what is happening here...
It would be easier if I worked with an UIImage instead of it's URL? Because, as I sais before, I have both of them! Any help is very appreciated! Thanks, guys!!
In my experience, the only way to save upload UIImage
as a CKAsset
is to:
let data = UIImagePNGRepresentation(myImage); // UIImage -> NSData, see also UIImageJPEGRepresentation
let url = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: NSTemporaryDirectory()).URLByAppendingPathComponent(NSUUID().UUIDString+".dat")
do {
try data!.writeToURL(url, options: [])
} catch let e as NSError {
print("Error! \(e)");
return
}
newUser["photo"] = CKAsset(fileURL: url)
// ...
publicData.saveRecord(newUser, completionHandler: { (record: CKRecord?, error: NSError?) in
// Delete the temporary file
do { try NSFileManager.defaultManager().removeItemAtURL(url) }
catch let e { print("Error deleting temp file: \(e)") }
// ...
}
CKAsset
from in-memory NSData
, but it hasn't been done yet.
This is Objective C version of how to save an image to Cloudkit
This took quite a bit of digging as there is not much info to go on, but this works
if([results count] <= 0) {
NSLog(@"this Record doesnt exist so add it ok!! %@", error);
CKRecordID *wellKnownID = [[CKRecordID alloc]
initWithRecordName:idString];
CKRecord *entitiesName = [[CKRecord alloc] initWithRecordType:@"mySavedDetails"
recordID:wellKnownID];
[entitiesName setObject:idString
forKey:@"myDetailsId"];
[entitiesName setObject:self.myName.text
forKey:@"myName"];
if (myUIImage.image != nil)
{
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory,
NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString* path = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:
@"test.png" ];
NSData* data = UIImagePNGRepresentation(myUIImage.image.image);
[data writeToFile:path atomically:YES];
//so we get the full path of the uiimage
NSLog(@"Path details %@",path);
NSURL* myImagePath = nil;
myImagePath =
[[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:path
withExtension:@"png"];
//here we change the path of Image which is a string to a URL
NSURL *yourURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
CKAsset* myImageAsset = nil;
myImageAsset =
[[CKAsset alloc] initWithFileURL:yourURL];
[entitiesName setObject: myImageAsset
forKey:@"myImage"];
[publicDatabase saveRecord: entitiesName
completionHandler:^(CKRecord *savedState, NSError *error) {
if (error) {
NSLog(@"ERROR SAVING: %@", error);
}
}];
}
}
I did something a tad different: I made a class that you can use in multiple places, and thanks to the fact that Swift has deinitialization that works (unlike C++), it cleans up after itself:
//
// ImageAsset.swift
//
import CloudKit
import UIKit
class ImageAsset {
let image:UIImage
var url:NSURL?
var asset:CKAsset? {
get {
let data = UIImagePNGRepresentation(self.image)
self.url = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: NSTemporaryDirectory()).URLByAppendingPathComponent(NSUUID().UUIDString+".dat")
if let url = self.url {
do {
try data!.writeToURL(url, options: [])
} catch let e as NSError {
print("Error! \(e)")
}
return CKAsset(fileURL: url)
}
return nil
}
}
init(image:UIImage){
self.image = image
}
deinit {
if let url = self.url {
do {
try NSFileManager.defaultManager().removeItemAtURL(url) }
catch let e {
print("Error deleting temp file: \(e)")
}
}
}
}
Here's a unit test that exercises it (presumes there is an image named stopwatch in the test target):
//
// ImageExtensionTests.swift
//
import CloudKit
import XCTest
@testable import BudgetImpactEstimator
class ImageExtensionTests: XCTestCase {
let testImageName = "stopwatch" // provide the name of an image in test bundle
override func setUp() {
super.setUp()
// Put setup code here. This method is called before the invocation of each test method in the class.
}
override func tearDown() {
// Put teardown code here. This method is called after the invocation of each test method in the class.
super.tearDown()
}
func testConvertingImageToAsset() {
guard let image = UIImage(named: self.testImageName) else {
XCTFail("failed to load image")
return
}
let imageAsset = ImageAsset(image: image)
XCTAssertNotNil(imageAsset)
guard let asset = imageAsset.asset else {
XCTFail("failed to get asset from image")
return
}
print("constructed asset: \(asset)")
}
}
Was originally going to do it as an extension on UIImage but then the deinit made me move to a class.
