JTACMonthLayout Crash

[cesariel]

(Required) Version Number: 8.0.3

Description

#0 0x000000010483853c in JTACMonthLayout.setupDataFromDelegate() at ~/Pods/JTAppleCalendar/Sources/JTAppleCalendar/JTACMonthLayout.swift:168
JTAppleCalendar was compiled with optimization - stepping may behave oddly; variables may not be available.

Line 168:
strictBoundaryRulesShouldApply = thereAreHeaders || delegate._cachedConfiguration.hasStrictBoundaries

Steps To Reproduce

func setupCalendarView() {
        calendarView.minimumLineSpacing = 0
        calendarView.minimumInteritemSpacing = 0        
        calendarView.visibleDates { (visibleDates) in
            self.setupViewsOfCalendar(from: visibleDates)
        }

        if(self.appoDates.count > 0) {
            self.calendarView.selectDates(self.appoDates)
        }
        self.formatter.dateFormat = "yyyy MM dd"
        self.calendarView.selectDates([formatter.date(from: getTodayDate())!])
    }
    
    func setupViewsOfCalendar(from visibleDates: DateSegmentInfo){    
        let date = visibleDates.monthDates.first!.date
        formatter.dateFormat = "yyyy"
        year.text = formatter.string(from: date)        
        formatter.dateFormat = "MMMM"
        month.text = formatter.string(from: date).capitalized
    }

Expected Behavior

Additional Context

[patchthecode]

is it possible you can provide a sample app with this crash?

[umarchohan]

I am also getting the same crash.
Any luck with solving that @cesariel ?

[patchthecode]

@umarchohan
is it possible you can create a sample app (a barebones minimal app with no company code inside it) that recreates this issue?

[umarchohan]

@patchthecode
you can check with these settings as per @cesariel

func setupCalendarView() {
        calendarView.minimumLineSpacing = 0
        calendarView.minimumInteritemSpacing = 0        
        calendarView.visibleDates { (visibleDates) in
            self.setupViewsOfCalendar(from: visibleDates)
        }

        if(self.appoDates.count > 0) {
            self.calendarView.selectDates(self.appoDates)
        }
        self.formatter.dateFormat = "yyyy MM dd"
        self.calendarView.selectDates([formatter.date(from: getTodayDate())!])
    }
    
    func setupViewsOfCalendar(from visibleDates: DateSegmentInfo){    
        let date = visibleDates.monthDates.first!.date
        formatter.dateFormat = "yyyy"
        year.text = formatter.string(from: date)        
        formatter.dateFormat = "MMMM"
        month.text = formatter.string(from: date).capitalized
    }

[patchthecode]

if you are using the same code.
Can you confirm that it is not crashing at the forced optional values?
I see you force the values
here --> self.calendarView.selectDates([formatter.date(from: getTodayDate())!])
and here -> let date = visibleDates.monthDates.first!.date
using the ! character.

I'm encountering this same issue in version 8.0.3.
The crash is caused by this implicitly unwrapped optional in JTACMonthView.swift:115:

// Configuration parameters from the dataSource
var _cachedConfiguration: ConfigurationParameters!

which is used in JTACMonthLayout.Swift:168:

strictBoundaryRulesShouldApply = thereAreHeaders || delegate._cachedConfiguration.hasStrictBoundaries

A nil value for _cachedConfiguration crashes the app. Since this is an internal property, I believe the library should be updated to avoid force unwrapping, and guard or handle nil values rather than crashing.

[patchthecode]

this happened in production mode or in development?
And how did it happen?

Production build. In my comment above I describe why the crash occurred, but since _cachedConfiguration is internal to JTAppleCalendar, I don't know what circumstances could cause it to be nil.
