I'm using a TableViewController that has a table with 2 sections of static cells. This is embedded in a view controller. I cannot get didSelectRowAtIndexPath to run when I tap the cells. I've already check all of the usual suspects from this question as well as this one. When I try with a table view inside a viewcontroller with a dynamic table, I am able to get it to work just fine. Is there an issue with using a TableViewController with static cells that would not allow for using didSelectRowAtIndexPath?

Here is what I have in the custom class for the TableViewController:

import UIKit class OptionTableViewController: UITableViewController { @IBOutlet var optionsTable: UITableView! let numberOfRows = [7,2] let cellIdentifier = "OptionCells" override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() self.optionsTable.delegate = self self.optionsTable.dataSource = self } override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() { super.didReceiveMemoryWarning() // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated. } override func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int { // #warning Incomplete implementation, return the number of sections return 2 } override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int { // #warning Incomplete implementation, return the number of rows var rows = 0 if(section < numberOfRows.count){ rows = numberOfRows[section] } return rows } func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath){ print("You selected cell #\(indexPath.row)!") } }

Update: I tried replacing the tableviewcontroller and the viewcontroller it was embedded in but I am still not able to get didSelectRowAtIndexPath to run.

Update 2: Does anyone know if this is possible in Swift 3? I found a working example using Swift 2.2 with a tableviewcontroller and static cells here. Maybe there is a bug doing this with Swift 3?

Wow, so it turns out that didSelectRowAtIndexPath is no longer correct in Swift 3. The correct usage is now didSelectRowAt. I didn't see this mentioned anywhere except this question which I stumbled upon.

This:

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) { print("You selected cell #\(indexPath.row)!") }

Not This:

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath){ print("You selected cell #\(indexPath.row)!") }

It's possible you have the wrong table view hooked up. Normally, a UITableViewController has it's tableView in the view property and you don't need to set up the data source and delegate programatically.

I double check and even "re-hooked" it up. I figured that I didn't need the data source and delegate but put them in anyway when I couldn't get it to work.
