Swift, segue information passed won't show - swift

Question

I'm trying to get some information to pass to another view controller. I did the segue and nothing is showing. I'm using an external class to organize the information. But I'm not sure why it's not working.
first view controller:
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
if segue.identifier == "toLocationVC" {
let lVC = segue.destinationViewController as! LocationViewController
lVC.locationImage?.image = locations[locationSelection].image;
lVC.nameLabel?.text = locations[locationSelection].name;
lVC.descriptionTextView?.text = locations[locationSelection].desc;
}
second view:
var selectedLocation : Location?;
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
locationImage.image = selectedLocation!.image
nameLabel.text = selectedLocation!.name
descriptionTextView.text = selectedLocation!.desc
}
and this is the class Location:
class Location {
var image : UIImage
var name : String
private var description : String
var desc : String {
return description + "\n\n\nThis Description and Images Provided by http://www.travel.usnews.com"
}
init(name : String, image : UIImage, description: String) {
self.name = name;
self.image = image;
self.description = description;
}
}
I've tried changing some of the code around, but nothing seems to work.

Answer 1

Obviously you override the information you just set prepareForSegue() in your second view controller's viewDidLoad() method.
Just remove the following code from your viewDidLoad() and it should be working (if this is actually the correct segue and all data are set):
locationImage.image = selectedLocation!.image
nameLabel.text = selectedLocation!.name
descriptionTextView.text = selectedLocation!.desc
(And I got the feeling that the selectedLocation is nil (= not set) in the viewDidLoad().)

Answer 2

I would rewrite the segue as follows:
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
if segue.identifier == "toLocationVC" {
if let lVC = segue.destinationViewController as? LocationViewController {
lVC.selectedLocation = locations[locationSelection]
}
}
Then set a breakpoint inside the if let lVC = segue...{ block to see if it's ever executed. Step through the code and use the po {variable name here} command in the debugger to look into each variable.
You shouldn't be setting anything in the viewDidLoad() function any longer like Mischa suggested. So delete those assignments.
If this answer doesn't help, I think you'll need to update your code listings to include more information. We can't see exactly where a lot of these variables are declared, or if the second view is the correct class.
