Hi!

Noticed strange behaviour while fetching from db, don't know if it is related to core store

// Ok
func getSomeId() -> String? {
  let transaction = DataStack.beginUnsafe()
  return try? transaction.fetchOne(From<Users>().where(\.id == myId))?.otherField?.id
}

// Not Ok, return nil
func getSomeId() -> String? {
  return try? DataStack.beginUnsafe().fetchOne(From<Users>().where(\.id == myId))?.otherField?.id
}

My guess it that ARC releases the transaction earlier in the second code. If that's the case, you will probably experience the same thing in the first code when building release (optimized) builds.

You can try

return withExtendedLIfetime(DataStack.beginUnsafe()) { transaction in
    try? transaction.fetchOne(From<Users>().where(\.id == myId))?.otherField?.id
}
