Why am I getting has no member error

Question

Sorry if this is an easy one, but I'm spinning up on Swift 3 and I'm just stuck.

I created my Swift 3 class and a unit test for it. I'm now adding a new method and want to write a unit test for it:

public func isEmpty() -> Bool {
    return false
}

Then I went to my unit test and wrote the following:

func testPersist() {
    XCTAssertFalse(currentQuote.isEmpty())
}

But the assert gets an error saying: Value of type CurrentQuote has no member 'isEmpty'

I found these questions, but they don't seem to help me:

Swift - Type has no member "classname has no member functionname" when adding UIButton target

I'm sure this is something basic, but I just can't figure it out.

Where did you define `isEmpty()`? Is it within the definition of `CurrentQuote`? — Luke, Mar 02 '17 at 15:55
try to remove your unit test from build and use it only in debug — RinaLiu, Mar 02 '17 at 15:59
is the `CurrentQuote` class also marked `public`? e.g. `public class CurrentQuote { ... }`, or you could try `@testable import ` in your unit test file. — par, Mar 02 '17 at 16:02

I think it's just a timing error. I ran the test to force a build and it ran fine. I think the executable hadn't been updated since I added the method and it was still showing as missing.
