iOS fetching from managed object context before saved

Question

If I add entities to a moc and I execute a fetch request on that moc before its document gets a chance to save, will my fetch contain the newly added entities? (I'm unsure how to test this out because of the auto-save feature)

Answer 1

I guess you're using UIDocument when you say 'auto-saving'. If you aren't, then there is no 'auto-saving' (except when using Apple template code and the app delegate saves before termination).

When you create the fetch request, you can choose whether it should include unsaved items using the includesPendingChanges property. It defaults to YES so by default you will see unsaved items in the results.
