Mark --
Thanks for the input.
The code for the accessor methods are shown below:
- (NSManagedObject *)wineType
{
id tmpObject;
DebugMessage(@"entering");
[self willAccessValueForKey: @"wineType"];
tmpObject = [self primitiveValueForKey: @"wineType"];
[self didAccessValueForKey: @"wineType"];
DebugMessage(@"exiting");
return tmpObject;
}
- (void)setWineType:(NSManagedObject *)value
{
DebugMessage(@"entering");
[self willChangeValueForKey: @"wineType"];
[self setPrimitiveValue: value
forKey: @"wineType"];
[self didChangeValueForKey: @"wineType"];
DebugMessage(@"exiting");
}
As far as I know these are correct. But I'm sure someone will tell me
if they aren't ;-)
As for what changed in the app not much -- I rearranged a few things
in IB (I removed an NSTableView and some related UI stuff that lived
in a split view) and suddenly had this problem. I've also seen it
complain about another attribute which makes me wonder if this is the
result of a wandering pointer. I will check to see if for some reason
something is being stored in an ivar -- just to make sure. There is an
IKImageBrowserView that is bound to the NSArrayController for wine's.
Have you any other hints as to how I might track this gremlin down? In
the meantime I'm checking to see if there are memory leaks that might
be related to the problem -- as the app is leaking a very small amount
of memory.
Thanks very much.

How are KVO notifications for the Wine class' wineType property
being done? KVO is complaining that not enough of them are being
sent out. The rule for KVO-compliance in this case is that something
must do [wine willChangeValueForKey:@"wineType"] before the value
returned by [wine valueForKey:@"wineType"] would change and then
something must invoke [wine didChangeValueForKey:@"wineType"] after
the value returned by [wine valueForKey:@"wineType"] has changed.
Automatic KVO notification does that, but only for changes done with
[wine setWineType:aWineType], if there is such a method, or [wine
setValue:aWineType forKey:@"wineType"]. If the wine type is stored
in an instance variable and something changes the value of that ivar
without doing -willChangeValueForKey:/-didChangeValueForKey: you'll
get this exception.
What changed in your app? One guess is that nothing was observing
any Wine's "wineType.name" before but you're now doing something
different with Cocoa Bindings that is causing it to be observed.

Starting earlier today, I started getting the following error in my
software.
2008-04-14 17:59:41.535 WineCellar[4928:10b] Cannot remove an
observer <WineArrayController 0x25a450> for the key path
"wineType.name" from <Wine 0x6c55170>, most likely because the
value for the key "wineType" has changed without an appropriate KVO
notification being sent. Check the KVO-compliance of the Wine class.
I haven't changed anything significant (well at least I don't think
I did) and I definitely have not been messing around with the
WineArrayController and/or the Wine classes. I can't figure out how
to track this error down -- I've tried a number of things including
putting a removeObserver:forKeyPath method in the array controller
so I could look at the back trace and I've also put in enter and
exit debug messages in a large portion of the code. Still the error
seems to come from nowhere and I am stumped as to how I might find
what the root cause of the problem is.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to track down this type
of error.
Thanks very much.
