Question

我正在尝试在Core Data中找到特定属性中最早的日期。我发现an example in the Core Data Programming Guide声称可以做到这一点，但在我运行它时会一直无法识别选定的错误。

我的代码（只有Apple示例的最小更改）：

NSFetchRequest *request = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];
NSEntityDescription *entity = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:@"Session" inManagedObjectContext: ctx];
[request setEntity:entity];

// Specify that the request should return dictionaries.
[request setResultType:NSDictionaryResultType];

// Create an expression for the key path.
NSExpression *keyPathExpression = [NSExpression expressionForKeyPath:@"startedAt"];

// Create an expression to represent the minimum value at the key path 'creationDate'
NSExpression *minExpression = [NSExpression expressionForFunction:@"min:" arguments:[NSArray arrayWithObject:keyPathExpression]];

// Create an expression description using the minExpression and returning a date.
NSExpressionDescription *expressionDescription = [[NSExpressionDescription alloc] init];

// The name is the key that will be used in the dictionary for the return value.
[expressionDescription setName:@"minDate"];
[expressionDescription setExpression:minExpression];
[expressionDescription setExpressionResultType:NSDateAttributeType];

// Set the request's properties to fetch just the property represented by the expressions.
[request setPropertiesToFetch:[NSArray arrayWithObject:expressionDescription]];

// Execute the fetch.
NSError *error;
NSArray *objects = [ctx executeFetchRequest:request error:&error];

错误：

-[NSCalendarDate count]: unrecognized selector sent to instance ...

鉴于1）NSCalendarDate已弃用且2）我绝对不会调用count。这是奇怪的。

非常感谢任何帮助！

Answer 1

为什么不添加排序描述符以按startedDate升序排序，然后只让获取请求返回1个对象？

这是我的代码，它确实有用。我看不出您自己的代码有任何显着差异，也许它是在核心数据模型的定义中。确保您的日期是NSDate并且已编入索引。

- (NSDate *)lastSync:(PHAssetMediaType)mediaType {
    NSEntityDescription *entity = [NSEntityDescription  entityForName:kMediaItemEntity inManagedObjectContext:self.managedObjectContext];

    NSFetchRequest *fetchRequest = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];
    fetchRequest.entity = entity;
    fetchRequest.resultType = NSDictionaryResultType;

    NSMutableArray *predicates = [NSMutableArray array];
    [predicates addObject:[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"%K=%d", kMediaType,mediaType]];
    [predicates addObject:[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"%K=%d", kMediaProviderType,self.mediaProviderType]];
    NSPredicate *predicate = [NSCompoundPredicate andPredicateWithSubpredicates: predicates];
    fetchRequest.predicate = predicate;

    // Create an expression for the key path.

    NSExpression *keyPathExpression = [NSExpression expressionForKeyPath:kSyncTime];
    // Create an expression to represent the function you want to apply

    NSExpression *maxExpression = [NSExpression expressionForFunction:@"max:"
                                                            arguments:@[keyPathExpression]];

    // Create an expression description using the maxExpression and returning a date.
    NSExpressionDescription *expressionDescription = [[NSExpressionDescription alloc] init];
    [expressionDescription setName:@"maxDate"];
    [expressionDescription setExpression:maxExpression];
    [expressionDescription setExpressionResultType:NSDateAttributeType];

    // Set the request's properties to fetch just the property represented by the expressions.
    fetchRequest.propertiesToFetch = @[expressionDescription] ; // @[kSyncTime];

    NSError *fetchError = nil;
    id requestedValue = nil;

    // fetch stored media
    NSArray *results = [self.managedObjectContext executeFetchRequest:fetchRequest error:&fetchError];
    if (fetchError || results == nil || results.count == 0) {
        return [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSince1970:0];
    }
    requestedValue = [[results objectAtIndex:0] valueForKey:@"maxDate"];
    if (![requestedValue isKindOfClass:[NSDate class]]) {
        return [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSince1970:0];
    }
    DDLogDebug(@"sync date %@",requestedValue);
    return (NSDate *)requestedValue;
}
