NSAlert fails

I am a newbie here, first request. This is called-from and declared inside my viewcontroller class:

func NrangeAlert() {

let alert = NSAlert()

alert.messageText = "N out of range"

alert.informativeText = "use a number between 1 and 92"

alert.alertStyle = .warning

alert.addButton(withTitle: "OK")

alert.runModal()

print("Select a number between 1 and 92")

}

but fails to show the alert. It compiles.

XCode Version 11.3.1 (11C504)

Swift -version

Apple Swift version 5.1.3 (swiftlang-1100.0.282.1 clang-1100.0.33.15)

Target: x86_64-apple-darwin19.2.0


It successfully prints to the debugger area.

What am I missing?

Is it a MacOS project ?


I tested, in XCode 11.3, MacOS Mojave inside a MacOS project.


It works.

Do you call NrangeAlert() somewhere in your code ?

Are you sure this line of code is executed ?

Please show code.


It successfully prints to the debugger area.

This can occur only once you have answered the alert. So it must show.


Note: name of func should start with lowercase: nRangeAlert()

BTW it printed to the debugger area by way of other triggers to print it there. All now call the NrangeAlert().


Thanks!
