I am trying to figure out why I am having constant compile problems with this type of construct in Xcode 6.3.2.
class Foo {
static let CONSTANT_NAME = "CONSTANT_STRING"
...
func bar () -> String {
var s = String(format:"%s,%d\n", CONSTANT_NAME, 7)
return s
}
...
}
As I understand the language, this should be perfectly legal code however Xcode is constantly (hah-pun) having issues with it raising the error
"there is no member CONSTANT_NAME in class Foo"
If I get lucky and force it to clean, and then rebuild it will some times sort itself out and work. Other times, even doing that, then trying an open/close project will still not resolve the issue.
So, I guess my implicit follow up question (if the answer to the above is - it is legal code) is: is the Xcode Swift compiler that buggy that even basic things like this are likely to cause problems? If so, swift seems to be in a pretty bad state.
static
is class property, that means you have to call it like thisClassName.property
That is not a bug. That is what it should be. A class property "belongs" to the class.
If you want your code work without using
ClassName
, do not usestatic
