Dear list

I'm just getting started with Cocoa and Obj-C. I've done a little bit of Java in the past but mainly I'm a tcl scripter. Apologies for the wordiness of the following.

I've been following some of the tutorials and so far have been pretty successful at finding the bugs I've introduced, except this one:-

In the NSPersistentDocument Core Data Tutorial, I have had the thing working all the way until I added the Department - now the interface all works as expected but I cannot save my data anymore. If I invoke the File -> Save As option and enter a filename the file doesn't save but I get the following logged in the Debugger Console:-

2008-03-16 19:25:43.070 DepartmentAndEmployees[6368:10b] Cannot perform operation since entity with name '(null)' cannot be found

However, If I open a file saved by a previous version, before the Department entity was added, I can now define my Department, add Employees and successfully save the data. (I had to amend the department accessor method to make it create a new Department if it was unable to fetch one but that seems to work OK).

So, it seems to me that I've got the UI wired up correctly since it works if I can use a document which was successfully saved and I should be looking in my code for a bug. But I don't know where to start to debug this - I can't find a suitable place to add a breakpoint to enter the debugger during the file save routine. Is this the time for me to find out about Instruments?

Many thanks

Neil
