Originally created by @joeljfischer on GitHub (Feb 3, 2020).

Referencing a property on an ObjectSnapshot<MyObject> where MyObject inherits from CoreStoreObject results in an error:

Referencing subscript 'subscript(dynamicMember:)' on 'ObjectSnapshot' requires that 'MyObject' inherit from 'NSManagedObject'

Do I have to change my object to be an NSManagedObject to get this to work?

It simply means the signature doesn't match. Can you show the code you are getting this error in?

Sure, I'll try to provide the relevant code:

private func prepareObject(_ object: MyObject) {
    observer = object.asPublisher(in: CoreStoreDefaults.dataStack)
    observer?.addObserver(self, { [weak self] (publisher) in
        self?.currentSnapshot = publisher.snapshot
        if let snapshot = self?.currentSnapshot {
            self?.updateUI(snapshot: snapshot)
        }
    })
}

private func updateUI(snapshot: ObjectSnapshot<MyObject>) {
    if snapshot.isPaused { // Accessing a property of MyObject fails with the error noted in the issue description
        playPauseButton.setImage(UIImage(systemName: "play.circle.fill"), for: .normal)
    } else {
        playPauseButton.setImage(UIImage(systemName: "pause.circle.fill"), for: .normal)
    }
}

What is isPaused? Is it a computed property? If so you will need to write that property in an extension:

extension ObjectSnapshot where O == MyObject {
    var isPaused: Bool {
        // ...
    }
}

That's a good catch. It is a computed property, I didn't think about that. So I will need to write the computed property twice, once on an ObjectSnapshot extensions and once on the actual object itself (if I need to access it in both of those contexts)?

Unfortunately that's a language limitation for now.

There will be a new way to do this using @Field.Virtual in an upcoming version (Swift 5.2): https://github.com/JohnEstropia/CoreStore/issues/359
It will be released soon after Xcode 11.4 goes out of beta.
