NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate does not fire

Question

I can’t understand why in my life the NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate methods do not start when I add data to the underlying data store. Data immediately appears if I restart the iPhone application.

I subclassed a UITableViewController and matched NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate:

@interface ProjectListViewController : UITableViewController <NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate> {
    NSFetchedResultsController* fetchedResultsController_;
    NSManagedObjectContext* managedObjectContext_;
}

I create an instance of NSFetchedResultsController and set a delegate for myself:

// Controller
fetchedResultsController_ = [[NSFetchedResultsController alloc] initWithFetchRequest:request
    managedObjectContext:self.managedObjectContext 
                                                                  sectionNameKeyPath:@"Client" 
                                                                           cacheName:@"ProjectsCache"];
fetchedResultsController_.delegate = self;

I implement delegate methods:

- (void)controllerWillChangeContent:(NSFetchedResultsController*)controller {
    NSLog(@"ProjectListViewController.controllerWillChangeContent");
    // The fetch controller is about to start sending change notifications, so prepare the table view for updates.
    [self.tableView beginUpdates];
}

- (void)controllerDidChangeContent:(NSFetchedResultsController*)controller { ... }
- (void)controller:(NSFetchedResultsController*)controller didChangeObject:(id)anObject atIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath forChangeType:(NSFetchedResultsChangeType)type newIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)newIndexPath { ... }
- (void)controller:(NSFetchedResultsController *)controller didChangeSection:(id<NSFetchedResultsSectionInfo>)sectionInfo atIndex:(NSUInteger)sectionIndex forChangeType:(NSFetchedResultsChangeType)type { ... }

I create an object that I want to save:

Project* newProject = [NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:@"Project" inManagedObjectContext:self.managedObjectContext];
ProjectDetailViewController* detail = [[ProjectDetailViewController alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStyleGrouped 
                                                                                delegate:self 
                                                                                selector:@selector(finishedAdding:) 
                                                                                 project:newProject];

And then I saved it:

- (void)save {
    // NSLog(@"ProjectDetailViewController.save");
    self.project.name = projectNameTextField_.text; 
    NSError* error;
    BOOL b = [self.project.managedObjectContext save:&error];
    if (!b) {
        NSLog(@"Error saving project!");
    } else {
        NSLog(@"Project was successfully saved.");
        [delegate_ performSelector:selector_ withObject:self.project];
    }
    [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}

Everything works fine except that my delegate methods do not work. Obviously, my table view is not being updated, and the only way to see the new data is to explicitly update or restart the application.

Answer 1

sectionNameKeyPath @ "" fetchedResultsController_, Project !

fetchedResultsController_ = 
    [[NSFetchedResultsController alloc] initWithFetchRequest:request
                                        managedObjectContext:self.managedObjectContext 
                                          sectionNameKeyPath:nil
                                                   cacheName:@"ProjectsCache"];
