Unable to load xib file

Question

I am trying to use a custom UITableViewCell.
Setup: Xcode 7.1, Swift, running in Emulator
Steps:
1. Created a new "Cocoa Touch Class"(CMD+N) with Subclass of UITableViewCell
2. Also create XIB file, when creating the swift file.
3. Now I would like to load the XIB file into a TableViewController

 override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() let yourNibName = UINib(nibName: "MyTableViewCell", bundle: nil) tableView.registerNib(yourNibName, forCellReuseIdentifier: "test") // << EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION ...

I get: Thread 1: EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION(code=EXC_I386_INVOP, subcode=0x0)

Info:
1. I can see in the debug area: that yourNibName has a memory address but all other properties is 0x0. Therefore the XIB must not be loaded?
2. I can see it is a member in the Inspector: Target Membership
3. It is in "Build Phases/Copy Bundle Resources"
4. I do Product Clean every each thing I am trying.
But why?

Yes: I can see it is a member in the Inspector: Target Membership. — Chris G.

Did you add your "MyTableViewCell" identifier to the prototype cell? — JAL

In the Attribute Inspector I have set; identifier to "test". Is that what you mean? — Chris G.

try this

your top should look like this

class myTableViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource {

view did load func like this:

 tableView.registerNib(UINib(nibName: "MyTableViewCell", bundle: nil), forCellReuseIdentifier: "test") tableView.delegate = self tableView.dataSource = self

and this func like this:

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell { let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("test", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! MyTableViewCell tableView.rowHeight = 470 tableView.allowsSelection = false return cell }

If it does not work let me know..

in MyTableViewCell.xib your cell identifier should be "test" so check if it is the same and you should also check if there is no spelling mistake in "MyTableViewCell"
Thanks Ondra, I created the ViewController from code and was missing the self.view itself :-/
Yes, you and others was/is on the right track :-) See my answer. Thanks

One could only wish for better error messages in Xcode. That said I was creating a TableViewController from code, and was missing the view itself.

self.tableView = UITableView(frame:self.view.frame)

And ofcource you can not do anything with the view being nil, and that includes trying to tableView.registerNib
