Custom navigation bar button and action to open a new viewController

I´m trying to make a new custom navigation bar button with my own image. That´s working fine, but I´m trying to open a new view controller when I press that button. Unfortunately that doesn´t work and I have no idea how I should do it. 

let testUIBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(image: UIImage(named: "Image.png"), style: .plain, target: self, action: nil)
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem  = testUIBarButtonItem
func clickButton(sender: UIBarButtonItem){}

That´s my code right now and its inside my viewDidLoad. My intention is to perform a show detail Segue comment. Can someone help me ?

why don't you just use a UIButton and assign it as bar button item as suggested in this thread:

UIBarButtonItem: target-action not working?

let button  = UIButton(type: .Custom)
if let image = UIImage(named:"icon-menu.png") {
    button.setImage(image, forState: .Normal)
}
button.frame = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 30.0, 30.0)
button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(MyClass.myMethod), forControlEvents: .TouchUpInside)
let barButton = UIBarButtonItem(customView: button)
navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = barButton

If you are using a Storyboard, add a manual segue to your ViewController and give it an identifier. Then you have to call performSegue in your custom navigationbar button's IBAction.

func clickButton(sender: UIBarButtonItem){
    self.performSegue(withIdentifier: "yourSegueIdentifier", sender: nil)
}
