Core Data - why was this returned ?

[Jonathan]

Hello,

In the latest version of my music player, I'm doing a lookup on Tracks with this predicate

 NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"NOT (ANY genreRel.status_date <= status_date)"];

Checking the returned data with 

    

for (Track *trk in fetchController.fetchedObjects){

   for(Genre *gen in trk.genreRel){

      if([trk.status_date timeIntervalSinceNow] >= [gen.status_date timeIntervalSinceNow]){

         NSLog(@"Should not have been returned. track date %@, genre date %@ %@", trk.status_date, gen.status_date);

      }

   }

}

Ended up with over a thousand of messages like this. 

016-01-28 09:44:58.040 FMA Player[323:15902] Should not have been returned. track date 2016-01-28 14:36:12 +0000 genre date 2015-10-20 21:16:47 +0000 

Is there a flaw in my predicate?  Or a bug in the Core Data process?  Any suggestions for a predicate that will do this reliably? 

Thanks,

Jonathan

why do you have the ANY in there when there’s only one argument being run?

by the look of it, you might just want to say "genreRel.status_date <= status_date” ?

not that I understand what’s wrong, but you can easily test a predicate using an array in a sandbox or debugger which might help you get the exact predicate format you need.

genreRel.status_date represents all the dates in the related set, not just one value.  The predicate would be correctly rejected 

without the ANY.
