swift - Cannot invoke 'filter' with an argument list of type '((_) -> _)'

Question

Sounds ridiculous, but I'm unable to fix this piece of code:

self.runningScripts.filter({ $0 != scriptRunner })

No matter how I write the closure I always get this error:

Cannot invoke 'filter' with an argument list of type '((_) -> _)'

runningScripts is defined like this:

var runningScripts = [ScriptRunner]()

and ScriptRunner is a Swift class (does not inherit from NSObject)

I'm using nearly the same in many other places without problems. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

You can get that error if you didn't make ScriptRunner conform to Equatable:

class ScriptRunner : Equatable {
    // the rest of your implementation here
}

func ==(lhs: ScriptRunner, rhs: ScriptRunner) -> Bool {
    return ... // change this to whatever test that satisfies that lhs and rhs are equal
}
