Binding are not working on NSTableView.

[gcasa]

Currently I have two examples in my repository NSArrayController_test and NSDictionaryController_test. I am currently working on implementing NSDictionaryController, so I will cover NSArrayController here.

1. build the NSArrayController_test example
2. run

Expected: you should get a table with one column with three rows being 1,2, & 3.
Actual: You get nothing.

Currently, the bindings are not causing the NSTableView to show the results as it is under macOS:

Have you tried to bind NSTableColumn programmatically? For cell-based table views it should be something like this:

    NSTableColumn *column = [myTableView tableColumnWithIdentifier: @"column"];
    [column bind: NSValueBinding
        toObject: myArrayController
     withKeyPath: @"arrangedObjects.someKey"
         options: nil];

This is not working at this point. Bindings are not completely supported in GNUstep, but they should be soon as this is something I am currently working on.

The problem here seems to be that the numberOfRows for the NSTableView is not computed from the value binding of the column. I am not sure how this should be done in general, although the simple case with just one column should be easy.

One issue I am running into with this is that it seems to get into infinite recursion. I'm wondering if it might not be possible for you to take a look and see if you can understand what I am doing wrong. :(

[fredkiefer]

Could you please explain what you are doing and how to reproduce the recursion issue you are seeing?
I am willing to help but first need to understand where you are going. Getting your simple example to work won't be a problem. As I wrote it is the general solution where I don't know how to processed.

I implemented that simple solution I talked about above. This should resolve this specific issue. If you have further problems, please open a new ticket.
