ios - Lazy var giving 'Instance member can not be used on type' error

Question

I had this error several times now and I resorted to different workarounds, but I'm really curious why it happens. Basic scenario is following:

class SomeClass {
  var coreDataStuff = CoreDataStuff!
  lazy var somethingElse = SomethingElse(coreDataStuff: coreDataStuff)
}

So I understand I can not use self before class is fully initialised, but in this case I'm using self property coreDataStuff to initialise a lazy var which will not happen until my instance is ready.

Anybody could explain me why I'm getting Instance member can not be used on type error?

Answer 1

Try that :

class SomeClass {
  var coreDataStuff = CoreDataStuff!
  lazy var somethingElse: SomethingElse = SomethingElse(coreDataStuff: self.coreDataStuff)
}

It is important to precise the type of your lazy var and to add self. to the argument you pass
