Greetings Cocoa-Devs!

I'm trying to implement a callback using an NSInvocation. However, when i call invoke, i get: "<NSInvalidArgumentException> *** - [MyTestApp methodSignatureForSelector:]: null selector".

Here is some test code that I am using:

- (void)awakeFromNib {
    SEL *handlerSelector = @selector(someMethod: otherArg:);

The value @selector returns is not a pointer.

NSMethodSignature *signature = [self methodSignatureForSelector: handlerSelector];
NSInvocation *handler = [NSInvocation invocationWithMethodSignature: signature];
[handler setTarget:self];
[handler retain];
int *someArg = 1;
int *otherArg = 2;
[handler setArgument:&someArg atIndex:2];
[handler setArgument:&otherArg atIndex:3];

Here you're passing int pointers to a method that expects normal ints. Removing the pointer aspect of int *someArg and int *otherArg should fix that.


[handler invoke];

You need to do setSelector: on handler as well before you invoke it. Both that setting and the method signature are absolute requirements when using NSInvocation.


}

- (void)someMethod:(int)someArg otherArg:(int)otherArg {
    NSLog("keyCode=%d",someArg);
    NSLog("modifierFlags=%d",otherArg);
}

the "someMethod" method is declared in the header file. The error occurs when calling [handler invoke].

Does anyone out there in cocoa land see the problem? This feels like a rookie mistake, but as a cocoa rookie, I can't really tell what that is.

Many thanks,
