How to get CAShapeLayer to work with constraints with swift?

Question

i got this in viewdidload

rectShape1 = CAShapeLayer()

rectShape1.fillColor = UIColor.blueColor().CGColor
rectShape1.path = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: rectShape1.bounds, byRoundingCorners: .BottomLeft | .TopRight, cornerRadii: CGSize(width: 20, height: 20)).CGPath
redview.layer.addSublayer(rectShape1)


var constTop = NSLayoutConstraint(item: redview, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.CenterX, relatedBy: NSLayoutRelation.Equal, toItem: view, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.CenterX, multiplier: 1, constant: 0)
view.addConstraint(constTop)

var constH = NSLayoutConstraint(item: redview, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.Height, relatedBy: NSLayoutRelation.Equal, toItem: nil, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.NotAnAttribute, multiplier: 1, constant: 50)
redview.addConstraint(constH)

var constW = NSLayoutConstraint(item: redview, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.Width, relatedBy: NSLayoutRelation.Equal, toItem: nil, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.NotAnAttribute, multiplier: 1, constant: 50)
redview.addConstraint(constW)

constH = NSLayoutConstraint(item: redview, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.CenterY, relatedBy: NSLayoutRelation.Equal, toItem: view, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.CenterY, multiplier: 1, constant: 0)
view.addConstraint(constH)
rectShape1.frame = redview.bounds

and this in didlayoutsubviews

            self.rectShape1.frame = self.redview.bounds

i have similar stuff with gradientLayer and i works fine, any suggestions?

The problem is that rectShape1.bounds.size is {0,0} at the time you create the bezier path. Remove the line where you create the path from viewDidLoad, and move it to after you set the frame in viewDidLayoutSubviews,

override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
        self.rectShape1.frame = self.redview.bounds
        rectShape1.path = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: rectShape1.bounds, byRoundingCorners: .BottomLeft | .TopRight, cornerRadii: CGSize(width: 20, height: 20)).CGPath
    }

is it possible to do this on a `UIView` subclass? i.e. by overriding `layoutSubviews`, as it doesn't seem to work this way — igrek, Sep 05 '17 at 15:35
