Help setting up

[HotSurfSpot]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to set up GRDB for my app. I've installed the pod but there is something I am doing wrong when trying to create my database connection.

I have tried writing these lines in my App.swift file:

import GRDB

let dbQueue = try DatabaseQueue(path: "/Desktop/App")
let inMemoryDBQueue = DatabaseQueue()

But an error occurs and it says:

Call can throw, but errors cannot be thrown out of a global variable initializer

What am I doing wrong ?
Also, I read in the documentation that when writing these lines, a .sqlite file should be created in the folder given in the path but that is not the case.

Thanks !

Creating the Database file can fail but you are not defining what should happen if it does. I'd recommend reading the Error Handling section of the Swift language manual.

If you want to just get something to compile then you can use try!

Also, "/Desktop/App" is almost certainly not going to create the file you expect. Take a look at one of the examples.
