Realm object has been deleted or invalidated

realm

When I start my app, I perform an API call to see whether there's new data available. The data is stored in my local Realm database, and some of it is displayed in the initial table view controller.

Once the API call is finished, I check if some conditions are met that require me to delete a bunch of the previous data from the database and then create new objects. However, when I delete the old data, my app crashes with the following exception:

2015-08-06 11:56:32.057 MSUapp[19754:172864] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'RLMException', reason: 'Object has been deleted or invalidated.'

libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException

This call stack lets me assume, that it's because of my write access in FavoriteLeaguesViewController's generateLeagueList method. The following is its body:

var favorites = FavoritesHelper.sharedInstance.favoriteLeagues
favorites.sort { $0.sport < $1.sport }

for favorite in favorites {
  // Add to array, which we can later use for cellForRowAtIndexPath
}

favorites is of the type [League], where League is a Realm Object. I'd assume the exception occurs because I'm accessing properties of the League objects, which have been deleted from the Realm database in the mean time (because the API call that has been started in the AppDelegate is now finished).

My question then is: How can I prevent this from happening? How can I make sure that there's no more writing/reading-access to any of the League objects prior to deleting them?

You can check if an object has been deleted from the Realm by calling object.invalidated -- if it returns true, then it has been deleted or the Realm has manually invalidated.

I got a really nice way to catch a RLMException within Swift.

Currently Swift doesn't show where a RLMException happened.

In Realm/RLMUtil.mm:266, there is the definition for RLMException.

If you change the code to generate a swift error,

Xcode now can show you where the exception occurred.

Now it is a part of Swift.

// Realm/RLMUtil.mm:266
static NSException *RLMException(NSString *reason, NSDictionary *additionalUserInfo) {
    // add some code to generate a swift error. E.g. division-by-zero.
    int a = 0;
    if (reason == nil) {
        a = 1;
    }
    NSLog(@"calculating 1 / %d = %f", a, 1 / a);

    ... remainder of the original code...
}
