"Invalid use of 'this' in non-member function" in objective-c context?

Using Xcode.

In this code (func is declared in interface), te开发者_Go百科lls subj error, standing on string with 'self'.

+ (void) run: (Action) action after: (int) seconds 
{
    [self run:action after:seconds repeat:NO];
}

What the... ?

---

self is an instance variable used to refer to an instance of the current object.

You are attempting to use it in a class level method +(void)... where self has no meaning. Try using a shared instance, or passing an instance of the class in question to the method.

+ (void) run:(Action)action on:(MyClass*) instance after:(int) seconds
{ 
    [instance run:action after:seconds repeat:NO];
}

EDIT

My commenters have pointed out that self does have meaning in class level contexts, but it refers to the class itself. That would mean you were trying to call a method that looks like this:

 [MyClass run:action after:seconds repeat:NO];

Where you should be aiming for:

 [myClassInstance run:action after:seconds repeat:NO];
