Using custom tableViewCells created in an xib in swift

Question

I am trying to create a custom tableview cell in interface builder and use it in a tableview created in swift, the relevant code in the controller holding the tableview is as fallows:

class SearchesMainViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate {
    @IBOutlet var contentTableView: UITableView?

    override func viewDidLoad(){
        super.viewDidLoad()
        self.navigationItem.title = "Search"
        self.contentTableView?.registerNib(UINib(nibName: "SingleSearchTableViewCell", bundle: nil), forCellReuseIdentifier: SingleSearchTableViewCellController.reuseID())
    }

    func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell{
        var cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier(SingleSearchTableViewCellController.reuseID(), forIndexPath: indexPath) as SingleSearchTableViewCellController
        return cell
    }

The Cell itself is very simple, 4 labels and a custom class:

class SingleSearchTableViewCellController : UITableViewCell {

@IBOutlet var dateMonthLable : UILabel?
@IBOutlet var dateDayLable : UILabel?
@IBOutlet var yearLable : UILabel?
@IBOutlet var makeModelLable : UILabel?

var search : Search

class func reuseID() -> String{
    return "SingleSearchTableViewCellType"
}

override init(style: UITableViewCellStyle, reuseIdentifier: String!) {
    search = Search()
    super.init(style: style, reuseIdentifier: reuseIdentifier)
}

override func awakeFromNib() {
    super.awakeFromNib()
}

override func setSelected(selected: Bool, animated: Bool) {
    super.setSelected(selected, animated: animated)

}
required init(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
    search = Search()
    super.init()
}

init(previousSearch s : Search){
    search = s
    super.init()
}

override init(frame: CGRect) {
    search = Search()
    super.init(frame: frame)
}

If I did not put enough data please feel free to ask and I thank you for your help in advance. Info on swift interacting with xib does not seem to be widely available yet.

EDIT I have removed my custom class and the bindings for my cell look like this: after making these changes the error reads as fallows: Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSUnknownKeyException', reason: '[ setValue:forUndefinedKey:]: this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key dateDayLable.'

now it looks like it is trying to bind my views to some view that is not my customUITableViewCellController

Answer 1

When I run into these kinds of issues it usually is caused by two things. One is that the main view in the xib file is a UIView instead of a UITableViewCell . The other is that the custom class field isn't being set to your custom class.

Answer 2

1. Check your "Datasource" and "Delegate" connections.
2. Check that you have added to viewController.
3. Check that you have properly assigned "dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier".
