Xcode does not autocomplete memberwise initializer of a Struct

Question

I am defining a struct like this in the Point.swift inside of my Xcode Project file:

struct Point {
    var x: Int
    var y: Int
}

If i am trying to init the Point struct from another file, Xcode does not autocompleting the memberwise initializer. Even if I have been restarted the machine as some friends suggest.

BUT autocompletion works fine, if i am defining initialising a new Instance in the same file or playground.

Any ideas how to fix this autocompletion issue?

Answer 1

This appears to just be a bug in Xcode. The first time you use an instance in another file, Xcode does not provide the autocompletion. But, the second time you use it it does.

Here is a demo of the strange behavior I am seeing. Even with the Point.swift file saved, the first time I use Point in ViewController.swift it doesn't autocomplete, but the second time it does:

This is with Xcode 7.2.

Answer 2

This bug is still actual in Xcode 10. As an addition to top answer: you can use explicit .init for autocomplete and then delete .init.

1. Get autocomplete to work with explicit init:

Point.init(x: x, y: y)

2. Delete .init and you'll end up with the expected code:

Point(x: x, y: y)
