[swift-users] Binding NSTextField value to NSNumber

[Etan Kissling]

Hey there,

I have a model that contains an optional NSNumber.

@objc(Model) final class Model : NSObject {
    dynamic var someNumber: NSNumber?
}


I now bind such en object to an NSObjectController,
and bind the value binding of an NSTextField to the object controller's selection.someNumber key path.


After loading, the number is properly displayed.

(lldb) e/x someNumber!
(__NSCFNumber *) $R0 = 0x0000000000002a57

(lldb) e/d someNumber!.intValue
(Int32) $R1 = 42


However, when I change the entry, the number is replaced by a string.

(lldb) e/x someNumber!
(NSTaggedPointerString *) $R2 = 0x0000000000323425 "42"

(lldb) e/d someNumber!.intValue
(Int32) $R3 = 42

Now, stuff like ==, isEqualToNumber, and compare obviously no longer works.
-[NSTaggedPointerString isEqualToNumber:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x303425



It seems like the NSNumber variable morphed into a NSString.




What's going on here?

PS: The NSTextField documentation clearly states that NSNumbers are supported to be bound as the value:

value
An NSString or NSNumber that is displayed as the content of the NSTextField.

Availability:
Available in OS X v10.3 and later.
