Accessing variables outside the scope of the eventHandler scope

[eonist]

I cant reach any outside variable in this scope:

var temp:String = "test"
let filewatch = try! FileWatch(paths: ["/path/to/dir"],  createFlag: [.UseCFTypes, .FileEvents], runLoop: NSRunLoop.currentRunLoop(), latency: 3.0, eventHandler: { event in
   print(self.temp)//<---this doesn't work
    if event.flag.contains(.ItemIsFile) {
      debugPrint(event.path)
    }
})

I guess my dream of making a FileWatcher being instance based wont work. I can get it working with NSNotificationCenter But then the class becomes useless if i want to make more than one filewatcher.

My next idea is to use dispatch_get_main_queue to get it to work in an instance based mode.

Solved it using weak self in the closure
