Property of Realm object skips its value, but I see it when printing the whole object

Question

I came across a strange thing, trying to get an object from my Realm (iOS, Swift, Realm version 0.98.2)

print("speaker:") print(RealmProvider.appRealm.objects(FavoriteSpeaker).first!) 

Correctly resets my object in the console:

 speaker: FavoriteSpeaker { name = Ashley Nelson-Hornstein; } 

But when I try to get the value of the name property:

 print("speaker name:") print(RealmProvider.appRealm.objects(FavoriteSpeaker).first!.name) 

I get an empty string 🤔

 speaker name: 

Four lines combined in my init method

Update 1 . I found an answer that assumes that you simply do not see the value when printing in the console: The Realm object is missing all properties except primaryKey , but I also tried to display the name property through the warning view, and also empty.

Update 2 . To make sure everything happens sequentially and in the same thread, I did this:

 let favorite1 = FavoriteSpeaker() favorite1.name = "Debbie Downer" try! RealmProvider.appRealm.write { RealmProvider.appRealm.deleteAll() RealmProvider.appRealm.add(favorite1) } print("speaker:") print(RealmProvider.appRealm.objects(FavoriteSpeaker.self).first!) print("speaker name:") print(RealmProvider.appRealm.objects(FavoriteSpeaker.self).first!.name) 

But the result is the same - printing name prints an empty string

Answer 1

The name property is probably not declared dynamic , which results in reading the nil value stored on the object itself, rather than reading data from Realm.
