Schema creation not working in Swift 4.1

[vccabral]

I am attempting to use SharkORM with Swift 4.1 and the table are not being created automatically.

So, if you place a breakpoint on the +(void)initialize method, you should see one for every object. Form your previous issues, it could be that the delegate is being set after opening the database?

This is inside my App delegate.

SharkORM.setDelegate(self)
SharkORM.openDatabaseNamed("dbname")

I'm running into the very same issue. After some sleuthing, I've found that the code in -[SharkSchemaManager refactorDatabase:(NSString*)database entity:(NSString*)entity] is failing if it is called before the database is opened.

This happens with Swift because some Swift objects are initialized before the app's AppDelegate is given a chance to open the Shark database in it's init method. refactorDatabase is designed to handle this situation, but it fails. When SharkORM.openDatabaseNamed is called and invokes refactorDatabase to define entities discovered previously, the tests for a nil database fail and cause refactorDatabase to return prematurely.

Changing refectorDatabase to this corrects the problem:

- (void)refactorDatabase:(NSString*)database entity:(NSString*)entity {
    
    if (!database || [database isEqualToString:@""]) {
        
        // this is blank, so grab the default
        
        if (SRKGlobals.sharedObject.defaultDatabaseName != nil) {
            database = SRKGlobals.sharedObject.defaultDatabaseName;
        }
        
        // see if this database has been opened
        if ([SRKGlobals.sharedObject handleForName:database] == nil) {
            // this database will be refactored when finally opened in teh future.
            return;
        }
        
    } // database != nil
    
    // check to see if this table already exists
    if (databases[entity] == nil) {
        
        if ([entity isEqualToString:@"SmallPerson"]) {
            int i=0;
        }
        
        // completely new table, so we can do this in a single operation
        NSString* sql = @"CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ";
        sql = [sql stringByAppendingString:entity];
        sql = [sql stringByAppendingString:@" (Id "];
        if ([self schemaPrimaryKeyTypeForEntity:entity] == SRK_PROPERTY_TYPE_NUMBER) {
            sql = [sql stringByAppendingString:@"INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT);"];
        } else {
            sql = [sql stringByAppendingString:@"TEXT PRIMARY KEY);"];
        }
        
        [SharkORM executeSQL:sql inDatabase:database];
        
        // now add the columns in one-by-one
        for (NSString* f in [self schemaPropertiesForEntity:entity]) {
            sql = @"ALTER TABLE ";
            sql = [sql stringByAppendingString:entity];

great I have another fix for the code above even, where new columns don't get created properly. I'll bring it all together and do a release tomorrow.

Thanks @alldritt
