I would like to keep the content of a UITableView cell in a separate file as I do in Objective-c even in my TodayExtension Swift table in order to wire it to the storyboard. Yet when I try to do it, it complaints it cannot find the class of the cell; this is the function I use:

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
println(indexPath)
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier( TableViewConstants.cellIdentifier, forIndexPath: indexPath) as! TodayCell
return cell

todayCell is the class in another file it reports it cannot find:

import UIKit class TodayCell: UITableViewCell {
@IBOutlet var bus: UILabel
 @IBOutlet var stopAddress: UILabel! 
 @IBOutlet var destination: UILabel!
}

Importing the file, even if not needed according the the Swift documentation, moved the error in the import statement.

I found the problem: Xcode forgot to add the new TodayCell file to the list of compile sources when I added it to the project. Once I manually did it everything worked fine - I had a funny horror trip in a list of errors in the MKStoreManager library, but all of them went away upon returning to the last commit.

Try this:

import UIKit
class TodayCell: UITableViewCell {
  @IBOutlet var bus: UILabel
  @IBOutlet var stopAddress: UILabel!
  @IBOutlet var destination: UILabel!
}

You have to split the import and the class statement either by a newline or a ";".

I did it, even if I got no errors and the main viewController had the import and class adjacent, but it keeps on being unable to locate TodayCell.

You could try deleting the derived data folder for the project. Perhaps the indexing got bugged.
