Crash String - stringByRemovingPercentEncoding

[sadanro100]

For some weird reason, converting an object to a dictionary crashed with the following error:

valueForUndefinedKey:]: this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key stringByRemovingPercentEncoding

if there was a string generated with the following code set to a property in the object

func generateRandomKey(amountOfCharacters: Int) -> String {

    var alphabet = Array("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXZY0123456789".characters)
    var randomKey = String()

    for (var i = 0; i < amountOfCharacters; i++) {
        randomKey.append(alphabet[Int(arc4random_uniform(62))])
    }

    return randomKey
}

I have now changed to the following solution and it works, funny though:

func generateRandomKey (len : Int) -> String {

    let letters : NSString = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789"

    let randomString : NSMutableString = NSMutableString(capacity: len)

    for (var i=0; i < len; i++){
        let length = UInt32 (letters.length)
        let rand = arc4random_uniform(length)
        randomString.appendFormat("%C", letters.characterAtIndex(Int(rand)))
    }

    return randomString as String
}

Well, I suppose it's got something to do with how OCMapper handles it's String parsing, and gets messed up at some point, which makes me think whether I should be concerned with content I try to parse that's been typed by the user, since the output string causing the problem had nothing special in it.

Feel free to remove the topic if you feel offended, I merely wanted to share a negative experience I had, which could help others.

hmmm what does this have to do with OCMapper?

sorry, I missed the part where you said convert object to dictionary :) My bad
for a second I thought you opened a bug in a wrong repo hehe
Will check to see why it's crashing, thanks
