override Record.description

[mtissington]

This maybe an issues with my knowledge of Swift

class Group: Record  {
    var name: String
    var description: String
    var enabled: Bool

I get an error cannot override member variable (description) ...
Is there a way around this short of using a different name?

Hi @mtissington.

Today the Record class adopts the CustomStringConvertible protocol, which defines the description property. Hence the conflict.

This was a bad move. It looked nice at first, because print(record) prints something nice. It has some defects, and you have just faced one of it. I should remove the default adoption of CustomStringConvertible. Consider it on the TODO list.

Until I release the fix, use a different property name. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The fix has shipped in v0.66.0.
