Hi Martin,
I don't have a complete answer for you, but I put together a project
similar to yours and found a few things of interest:
1) It appears to work correctly with Binary and In-Memory store types.
2) Using XML store, I get the behavior you described.
3) Using SQLite store, I get "Unsupported predicate ALL bars.isHappy
== 1" in the console.
Looking a little deeper with XML store, I added a second fetch:
[request setEntity:[NSEntityDescription entityForName:@"Bar"
inManagedObjectContext:managedObjectContext]];
[request setPredicate:[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"isHappy =
YES"]];
NSArray *results2 = [managedObjectContext executeFetchRequest:request
error:&error];
NSLog(@"Found %d happy Bars.", [results2 count]);
This fetch correctly returned the number of happy Bars, even while
incorrectly fetching the number of Foos with all bars.isHappy=YES.
I'll let you know if I figure anything else out, but I thought this
might spark some productive thoughts...

Hi,
Let Foo and Bar be two entities of my Core Data app. There is a one-
to-many relationship between the two of them, Foo have bars and each
Bar has a foo:
Foo Bar
bars <--->> foo
The Bar entity also has a boolean "isHappy" attribute.
Here is what I do:
- (IBAction)test:(id)sender {
NSError *error;
NSFetchRequest *request = [[[NSFetchRequest alloc] init]
autorelease];
[request setEntity:[NSEntityDescription entityForName:@"Foo"
inManagedObjectContext:managedObjectContext]];
[request setPredicate:[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"ALL
bars.isHappy = YES"]];
NSArray *results = [managedObjectContext
executeFetchRequest:request error:&error];
NSLog(@"Found %d Foos with very happy Bars.", [results count]);
for (NSManagedObject *foo in results)
for (NSManagedObject *bar in [foo mutableSetValueForKey:@"bars"])
[bar setValue:[NSNumber numberWithBool:NO] forKey:@"isHappy"];
}
Let's say that there are 3 Foos when my app launches, each of this
Foos have happy bars.
When test: is first called, the log says:
"Found 3 Foos with very happy Bars."
Then all the isHappy attributes are changed to NO, which is
instantly visually verified in the GUI (the checkboxes get unchecked).
But if I call test: again, the log says:
"Found 3 Foos with very happy Bars."
Why doesn't the fetch request finds 0 Foos? Why isn't the fetch
request aware of the changes just made when the GUI is?
The only thing that makes it work is to save the context after doing
the changes, but I don't want to save at that point.
This behaviour seems to go completely against the documentation: "If
an object in a context has been modified, a predicate is evaluated
against its modified state, not against the current state in the
persistent store."
Thanks,
Martin.
