macOS Load URL with WebView

[Blakeasd]

Hello,
This is a very newby question, but can someone look at this code and tell me why it isn't working?

[myWebView loadRequest:@"google.com"];

Thanks

The documentation states that the parameter to loadRequest must be a NSURLRequest object. You are passing a NSString. You must create a NSURLRequest object representing the URL you want to load. I would suggest using requestWithURL: which takes a NSURL (again not a NSString). You can create a NSURL from a NSString using URLWithString:.

Note that the compiler/Objective-C/Cocoa will not magically turn objects into the correct type for you: this is not AppleScript. You must pass the correct type of object.

Re:

Here is my new code but it still is not working:

[ myWebView loadRequest:[URLWithString:@"http://www.google.com"]];

It says URLWithString is not declared. I have Webkit imported, but it's just not working.

It's very clear you didn't understand what I typed. Or even Objective-C in general (as if you did you'd not have done that). URLWithString is a class-method of NSURL. If used correctly it'll return a NSURL. Which you then use to create the NSURLRequest object.

I suggest you take a few steps back, stop trying to write code and learn the language and how to use the documentation links I provided.

[myWebView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString😡"http://www.google.com"]]];

Figured it out. Here is the code I used for anyone who wants to learn from it:

[[myWebView mainFrame]loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.google.com"]]];

[[myWebView mainFrame]loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.google.com"]]];

Or more simply

[myWebView setMainFrameURL:@"http://www.google.com"];

[myWebView setMainFrameURL:@"http://www.google.com"];

LOLZ. RTFM FTW.

From the class reference for WebView:

"Discussion
This method is functionally equivalent to invoking [[webView mainFrame] loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL: [NSURL URLWithString:URLString]]]."​
