Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'Receiver () has no segue with identifier 'pizzaSegue'

Question

I am new to swift programming and running into errors with performing a segue from a tableview cell when it is pressed to a view controller giving details about that cell. The error I am getting is:

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 
'Receiver (<DrinkupClient.DrinkListTableViewController: 0x7fec5d431510>) 
has no segue with identifier 'pizzaSegue''

I have already tried the following: 1) Tried renaming the storyboard and make sure to set the main storyboard in the project settings and in the info.plist file (Key is 'Main storyboard file base name'). I currently have the storyboard named: "Main.storyboard"

2) Tried doing a clean of the product (Product -> Clean) and rebuild but this gives same error

3) I have tried deleting the app from the simulator and running it again

4) I have double checked and the segue identifier in interface builder is called "pizzaSegue" and it is the same in my code.

struct Drink {
    let id: String
    let name: String
    let description: String
    let amount: Float

        self.id = data["id"] as! String
        self.name = data["name"] as! String
        //self.amount = data["amount"] as! Float
        self.amount = ((data["amount"] as? NSNumber)?.floatValue)!

Answer 1

From your comment:

. I have a button in the tabBarController that presents the tableView and this is working fine.

let drinkController = DrinkListTableViewController() 
let drinkNavigationController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: drinkController) 
self.present(drinkNavigationController, animated: true, completion: nil)

No it isn't working fine. It is the problem.

Basically this is the same situation as in my answer here:

You are obtaining a useless instance when you say DrinkListTableViewController() . What you need to do is talk to the storyboard and ask it to instantiate the desired view controller (by identifier) so that you get the instance from the storyboard, the one that has the segue.
