How to migrate NSWorkspace notifications to Swift 4?

In Swift 3 I registered for sleep and wake notifications with this code:

let notificationCenter = NSWorkspace.shared.notificationCenter
notificationCenter.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(AppDelegate.sleepListener), name: NSNotification.Name.NSWorkspaceWillSleep, object: nil)
notificationCenter.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(AppDelegate.wakeUpListener), name: NSNotification.Name.NSWorkspaceDidWake, object: nil)

but after migrating to Swift 4, I get this error after applying the suggested fixes:

Type 'NSNotification.Name' has no member 'NSWorkspace'

How do I do this in Swift 4?

Solution

  • To fix this, you need to adjust the code referencing the notification's name from NSNotification.Name.NSWorkspaceWillSleep to NSWorkspace.willSleepNotification. The Swift 4 version is:

    let notificationCenter = NSWorkspace.shared.notificationCenter
notificationCenter.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(AppDelegate.sleepListener), name: NSWorkspace.willSleepNotification, object: nil)
notificationCenter.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(AppDelegate.wakeUpListener), name: NSWorkspace.didWakeNotification, object: nil)
