Swift 2.0 - "Argument passed to call that takes no arguments"

Question

I have check all of the other threads related to this issue and nothing has seemed to work. In this code I get an error on the line "if moc.hasChanges..." :

func saveContext () {
    var error: NSError? = nil

     if let moc = self.managedObjectContext {

        if moc.hasChanges && !moc.save(error) {
            // Replace this implementation with code to handle the error appropriately.
            // abort() causes the application to generate a crash log and terminate. You should not use this function in a shipping application, although it may be useful during development.
            NSLog("Unresolved error \(error), \(error!.userInfo)")
            abort()
        }
    }

}

Here is the full .swift file:

import UIKit
import CoreData

@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {

var window: UIWindow?

func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
    // Override point for customization after application launch.

    UIApplication.sharedApplication().setStatusBarStyle(UIStatusBarStyle.LightContent, animated: true)

    return true
}

func applicationWillResignActive(application: UIApplication) {
    // Sent when the application is about to move from active to inactive state. This can occur for certain types of temporary interruptions (such as an incoming phone call or SMS message) or when the user quits the application and it begins the transition to the background state.
    // Use this method to pause ongoing tasks, disable timers, and throttle down OpenGL ES frame rates. Games should use this method to pause the game.
}

func applicationDidEnterBackground(application: UIApplication) {
    // Use this method to release shared resources, save user data, invalidate timers, and store enough application state information to restore your application to its current state in case it is terminated later.
    // If your application supports background execution, this method is called instead of applicationWillTerminate: when the user quits.
}

func applicationWillEnterForeground(application: UIApplication) {
    // Called as part of the transition from the background to the inactive state; here you can undo many of the changes made on entering the background.
}

func applicationDidBecomeActive(application: UIApplication) {
    // Restart any tasks that were paused (or not yet started) while the application was inactive. If the application was previously in the background, optionally refresh the user interface.
}

func applicationWillTerminate(application: UIApplication) {
    // Called when the application is about to terminate. Save data if appropriate. See also applicationDidEnterBackground:.

Answer 1

In Swift 2.0, to save context, you have to use do { try ...} and catch {...} your error.

do {
    try context.save()
} catch let error {
    print("Could not cache the response \(error)")
}

In your case:

func saveContext () {
 var error: NSError? = nil

 if let moc = self.managedObjectContext {

    if moc.hasChanges {

        do {
            try moc.save()
        } catch let error {
            print("Could not cache the response \(error)")
        }
    }
}
}

Answer 2

The NSManagedObjectContext now has a save function that does not use the error argument any more. Instead you have to catch the error in a try-catch block.

do { try context.save() } 
catch let error { print((error as NSError)) }
