objective-c Tabbed App, Thread 1 signal: SIGABRT

Question

I am writing an app from the Tabbed Application template in xCode. Without any code, the app will switch tabs with no problems.

After adding code to the first view controller, I get an error when trying to switch tabs.

here is the error message:

2012-04-26 09:43:01.171 Triangle Solver[9516:f803] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSUnknownKeyException', reason: '[<TriSecondViewController 0x68827d0> setValue:forUndefinedKey:]: this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key solve.'

The usual reason for this error is that somewhere in a xib file or storyboard you have a link from some control or view to an IBOutlet called 'solve' but you no longer have that property or variable defined in the code of the class where the link points.

where are the xib files, all the links in the storyboard are good. – TPLeavitt Apr 26 '12 at 16:29
If you have a storyboard, you probably don't have xib files. Have you ever had something called 'solve' in this project? (Because the app thinks you did and that there's still a reference to it somewhere.) – Phillip Mills Apr 26 '12 at 16:35
Yes, I renamed them to different names and redid the links from the storyboard – TPLeavitt Apr 26 '12 at 16:50
@TPLeavitt: Apparently, you still have a xib or storyboard somewhere that contains the `solve` outlet and has it connected. The xib or storyboard in question either contains or is owned by the TriSecondViewController. – Peter Hosey Apr 26 '12 at 16:59
Right-click on your .storyboard file in the file list and choose Open As->Source Code from the popup menu. Then search for the word 'solve' in the XML source that is displayed. If you find it, the context should give you a hint as to where it's hiding. If it's not there, you have some different problem that's showing the same symptoms. – Phillip Mills Apr 26 '12 at 17:06
I found the problem. In the storyboard source code, there was one line referencing 'solve' as an outlet. – TPLeavitt Apr 27 '12 at 14:45

I think you could get the detailed info in Xcode debugger or gdb, the call stack is very important info. I did it and found the result that a identifier of tableviewcell is wrong.

UIViewController compliant to NSKeyValueCoding protocol, so when set a value for undeined key and you do not override

- (void)setValue:(id)value forUndefinedKey:(NSString *)key;

it will arise a NSUndefinedKeyException exception..

[self setTriText1:nil];
[self setTriText2:nil];
[self setLegA:nil];
[self setLegB:nil];
[self setHypotenuse:nil];
[self setAngleA:nil];
[self setAngleB:nil];
[self setButton1:nil];

may be here can brings that exception. why not you write it like this:

self.triText1 = nil;
self.triText2 = nil;
self.legA = nil;

as well for sencondViewContrlloer, if you use "set method" explicitly and write wrong method, similar exception will be happened..

There's no reason to override `setValue:forUndefinedKey:`, and dot syntax and message syntax do exactly the same thing (send a `setWhatever:` message). — Peter Hosey, Apr 26 '12 at 16:57
i know it ,i just recommend a simple use method，prevent writing wrong method， your vote is a little unpassive。。 — ianwang, Apr 27 '12 at 16:28
