NSInternalInconsistencyException（无效更新：第0部分无效的行数）

Question

I design the process is that:

1. Enter into a CourseAddViewController(UITableViewController) via a Model Segue;
2. The right bar button display "Done"(At this status, the tableview display all data in eachrow with "-", but the additional row at the bottom with "+");
3. Press "Done" button, the save the data.

When I add the statement "self.editing = YES;" in - (void)viewDidLoad method, it will crash.

I found that it didn't perform "tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:" method.But, actually I trust that there is 1 row in section 0 via the result of NSLog().

If I don't add "self.editing = YES;", it run correctly.

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem;
    self.editing = YES;     // here: adding it cause crash
}

After performing "insertRowsAtIndexPaths:withRowAnimation:", it crashed. Two statement:

[self.tableView beginUpdates];
[self.tableView endUpdates];

add them or not, all cuase crash.

- (void)setEditing:(BOOL)editing animated:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super setEditing:editing animated:animated];

    [self.tableView beginUpdates];

    NSInteger booksCount = self.course.books.count;

    NSArray *booksInsertIndexPath = [NSArray arrayWithObject:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:booksCount inSection:0]];

    if (editing) {
        [self.tableView insertRowsAtIndexPaths:booksInsertIndexPath 
                              withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationBottom];  // then, it crashes
    } else {
        [self.tableView deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:booksInsertIndexPath 
                              withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationBottom];
    }

    [self.tableView endUpdates];

    // ...

}

Other method,

- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
    NSLog(@"%d", self.fetchedResultsController.sections.count);     // the result is always 1;

    return self.fetchedResultsController.sections.count;
}

Other method,

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
    id <NSFetchedResultsSectionInfo> sectionInfo = [self.fetchedResultsController.sections objectAtIndex:section];
    NSInteger rows = [sectionInfo numberOfObjects];
    if (self.editing)
        rows++; 

    NSLog(@"%d", rows);     // the result is always 1;

    return rows;
}

Other method,

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];

    if (!cell) 
        cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];

    id <NSFetchedResultsSectionInfo> sectionInfo = [self.fetchedResultsController.sections objectAtIndex:indexPath.section];
    NSInteger rows = [sectionInfo numberOfObjects];
    if (self.editing && rows == indexPath.row) {
        return  cell;
    }
    [self configureCell:cell atIndexPath:indexPath];

//    NSLog(@"%d-%d-%d-%d", self.editing, rows, indexPath.section, indexPath.row);

    return cell;
}

Answer 1

Just add

[self.tableView reloadData];

before

self.editing = YES;

This is needed because the table view doesn't initially have information about its data source and delegate; if you create a table view, it always needs to be sent a reloadData message as part of its initialization.
