Hi all, I'm probably glossing over something silly, but I can't seem to get the right answer here. I don't have any errors in xcode compiler, but upon checking work it just keeps saying "Your code could not be compiled" despite there being no errors in the editor. Any ideas what may be amiss with the below?
enum BarButton { case done(title: String) case edit(title: String)
func MakeMeAbutton() -> UIBarButtonItem {
switch self {
case .done(let doneValue):
return UIBarButtonItem(title: doneValue, style: .done, target: nil, action: nil)
case .edit(let editValue):
return UIBarButtonItem(title: editValue, style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil)
}
}
}
let button = BarButton.done(title: "Done") let doneButton = button.MakeMeAbutton()
// Example of UIBarButtonItem instance
// let someButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "A Title", style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil)
enum BarButton {
case done(title: String)
case edit(title: String)
func MakeMeAbutton() -> UIBarButtonItem {
switch self {
case .done(let doneValue):
return UIBarButtonItem(title: doneValue, style: .done, target: nil, action: nil)
case .edit(let editValue):
return UIBarButtonItem(title: editValue, style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil)
}
}
}
let button = BarButton.done(title: "Done")
let doneButton = button.MakeMeAbutton()

I can confirm your code was compiling within Xcode for me at least. I was able to get your code to compile and function within the code challenge just by adjusting your naming conventions to the requests of the scenario. My guess is the way the code challenge is checking your solution, played into your compiler errors from the various name discrepancies. I cant speak to how the treehouse code challenge compiler actually works though.
Ultimately something like this:
// Example of UIBarButtonItem instance
// let someButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "A Title", style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil)
enum BarButton {
case done(title: String)
case edit(title: String)
func button() -> UIBarButtonItem {
switch self {
case .done(let doneValue):
return UIBarButtonItem(title: doneValue, style: .done, target: nil, action: nil)
case .edit(let editValue):
return UIBarButtonItem(title: editValue, style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil)
}
}
}
let done = BarButton.done(title: "Save")
let button = done.button()
I hope this helps.

Python Web Development Techdegree Student 15,217 PointsTHANK YOU SO MUCH! I had been staring at this for far too long and had forgotten to change all my names back. That seemed to do the trick.
