Getting An Error When Deleting Cell From Table

Question

When I delete a cell from my table, i am getting the following error:

Assertion failure in -[UITableView _endCellAnimationsWithContext:], /SourceCache/UIKit_Sim/UIKit-1448.89/UITableView.m:995 Serious application error. An exception was caught from the delegate of NSFetchedResultsController during a call to -controllerDidChangeContent:. Invalid update: invalid number of rows in section 0. The number of rows contained in an existing section after the update (5) must be equal to the number of rows contained in that section before the update (5), plus or minus the number of rows inserted or deleted from that section (0 inserted, 1 deleted). with userInfo (null)

Here is the relevant code:

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
    id <NSFetchedResultsSectionInfo> sectionInfo = [[self.fetchedResultsController sections] objectAtIndex:section];
    return [sectionInfo numberOfObjects];
}
-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    if (editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete) 
    {
        // Delete the managed object for the given index path
        NSManagedObjectContext *context = [self.fetchedResultsController managedObjectContext];
        [context deleteObject:[self.fetchedResultsController objectAtIndexPath:indexPath]];
        NSLog(@"fetched results : \n%@\n",[self.fetchedResultsController fetchedObjects]);

        // Commit the change.
        NSError *error = nil;

        // Update the array and table view.
        if (![managedObjectContext save:&error]) 
        {
            // Handle the error.
        }
        //[tableView deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:[NSArray arrayWithObject:indexPath] withRowAnimation:YES];
    }
}

- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canEditRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    // Return NO if you do not want the specified item to be editable.
    return YES;
}

            break;
    }

            break;

        case NSFetchedResultsChangeDelete:
            [tableView deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:[NSArray arrayWithObject:indexPath] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
            break;

        case NSFetchedResultsChangeUpdate:
            [self configureCell:[tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath] atIndexPath:indexPath];
            break;

        case NSFetchedResultsChangeMove:
            [tableView deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:[NSArray arrayWithObject:indexPath] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
            [tableView insertRowsAtIndexPaths:[NSArray arrayWithObject:newIndexPath]withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
            break;
    }
}

- (void)controllerDidChangeContent:(NSFetchedResultsController *)controller
{
    [self.resultsTableView endUpdates];
}

I tried removing [self.setsTableView reloadData]; from the last method but that did not work either.

Answer 1

seems like you're deleting the cell from the table, but not deleting the object from the table datasource, which creates an inconsistency. try adding something like:

[[[self.fetchedResultsController sections] objectAtIndex:indexPath.section] removeObjectAtIndex:indexPath.row];

when you use tableView:deleteRowsAtIndexes

the number returned by numberOfRowsInSection: must by the same as the number of rows in your tableView, minus/plus the ones you've deleted/added

Answer 2

Change self.fetchedResultsController to fetchedResultsController in all the above methods. Just keep self.fetchedResultsController only in method

- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
   return [[self.fetchedResultsController sections] count];
}

- (NSManagedObjectContext *)managedObjectContext {

if (managedObjectContext != nil) 
{
    return managedObjectContext;
}

NSPersistentStoreCoordinator *coordinator = [(AppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate] persistentStoreCoordinator];   
if (coordinator != nil) {
    managedObjectContext = [[NSManagedObjectContext alloc] init];
    [managedObjectContext setPersistentStoreCoordinator:coordinator];
}
return managedObjectContext;
