UITableViewCell - unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints

Question

I'm using SnapKit in order to make constraints and am creating views programatically. However, there's one thing I can't grasp.

I want to add a child UIView into the content view of a table view cell and set its height. This already causes a unsatisfiable constraint error.

I've tried also setting (estimated)rowHeight in the table view, but that did not help.

    Probably at least one of the constraints in the following list is one you don't want. 
    Try this: 
        (1) look at each constraint and try to figure out which you don't expect; 
        (2) find the code that added the unwanted constraint or constraints and fix it.

    "<SnapKit.LayoutConstraint:0x6000000b7880@WeatherCell.swift#24 UIView:0x7fa342409240.bottom == UITableViewCellContentView:0x7fa342413970.bottom>",

    "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x604000282210 'UIView-Encapsulated-Layout-Height' UITableViewCellContentView:0x7fa342413970.height == 146   (active)>"
)

Will attempt to recover by breaking constraint 
<SnapKit.LayoutConstraint:0x6000000b8a80@WeatherCell.swift#26 UIView:0x7fa342409240.height == 145.784842967987>

Make a symbolic breakpoint at UIViewAlertForUnsatisfiableConstraints to catch this in the debugger.
The methods in the UIConstraintBasedLayoutDebugging category on UIView listed in <UIKit/UIView.h> may also be helpful.

Cell code:

class WeatherCell: UITableViewCell {
    override init(style: UITableViewCellStyle, reuseIdentifier: String?) {
        super.init(style: style, reuseIdentifier: reuseIdentifier)

        let expandView = UIView()

        self.contentView.addSubview(expandView)

        expandView.snp.makeConstraints { view in
            view.edges.equalToSuperview()

            view.height.equalTo(CGFloat(Float(arc4random()) / Float(UINT32_MAX)) * 200)
        }
    }

    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
    }
}

You need to reference the bottom constraint and change it's priority to 999 / high but not to required , so remove the edges constraint and make them separately

let expandView = UIView()
self.contentView.addSubview(expandView)
expandView.snp.makeConstraints { (view) in
    view.bottom.equalTo(self.contentView).priority(999) // can also be .priority(.high)
    view.top.left.right.equalTo(self.contentView)
    view.height.equalTo(CGFloat(Float(arc4random()) / Float(UINT32_MAX)) * 200)
}
