Summary:

The character set for an NSEntityDescription’s name is limited, but this is seemingly only enforced when typing in the Core Data model editor inside Xcode.

Consider this code:

#!/usr/bin/xcrun swift

import CoreData

class Foo_Bar : NSManagedObject {
}

let entity = NSEntityDescription()
entity.name = "Foo Bar"
entity.managedObjectClassName = "spacesInEntity.Foo_Bar"

let model = NSManagedObjectModel()
model.entities = [entity]

let coordinator = NSPersistentStoreCoordinator(managedObjectModel: model)
let url = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: "/tmp/store.lol")
coordinator.addPersistentStoreWithType(NSSQLiteStoreType, configuration: nil, URL: url, options: nil, error: nil)

let context = NSManagedObjectContext()
context.persistentStoreCoordinator = coordinator

let object = NSEntityDescription.insertNewObjectForEntityForName(entity.name!, inManagedObjectContext:context) as Foo_Bar
println(object.description)


Steps to Reproduce:

Run the Swift example code from above.

Expected Results:

Fails at some point with an error message regarding the use of an unsupported entity name.

Actual Results:

A syntax error in the generated SQL:

CoreData: error: (1) I/O error for database at /tmp/store.lol.  SQLite error code:1, 'near "BAR": syntax error'

Regression: -

Notes:

Adding insult to injury, this works just fine when using NSInMemoryStoreType
