This pretty simple code, adding an element to an array of optionals, fails to compile in Fire 8.3.2013 with this error:
Program.swift(11,14): error E486: Parameter 2 is “MyClass?”, should be “MyClass?”, in call to static swift.Array<MyClass?>!.append(_ self: swift.Array<MyClass?>!, _ newElement: MyClass?)
Looking for a workaround to add elements to an array of optionals?
class MyClass
{
}
var array = Array()
let opt:MyClass? = nil
array.append(opt)
Note a slight variant in the errors if you use the alternative array syntax:
Arrays don’t accept null values…
works fine in XCode. That was true of NSArray (?), but swift arrays can take pretty much any valid type.
My current horrible work around is to make a java.util.ArrayList<MyClass?>, append the values to that, then force cast it to an Array<MyClass?> , which obviously involves #if COOPER in the middle of otherwise cross platform code.
In a playground:
I’ll check into this.
