XCode 8 Comment out broken [duplicate]

On XCode 8 Beta 5 & 6 cannot use the comment out functionality. Seems it is disabled in the context menu and shortcut does not work.

I have submitted this to Apple via bugreport.apple.com and got a response that it has already been reported. I am on Mac OS 10.11.6

Does anyone know how to fix this?

In Terminal: sudo /usr/libexec/xpccachectl

Reboot.

Worked great. Well done, good find. – Myriagram 25/8, 2016 at 17:40

Thank you!! Worked. This was driving me nuts. Apple closed my bug report as a dupe. – Alyshaalysia 26/8, 2016 at 20:16

Still actual for 8.1 – Herzegovina 1/11, 2016 at 11:58

sudo: /usr/libexec/xpccachect: command not found – Trove 4/11, 2016 at 8:18

Indeed actual for 8.1. Apple, hello ?? – Essayistic 4/11, 2016 at 9:10

Doesn't work. Even since I updated from Xcode 7, along with my custom shortcuts, the simple comments shortcut doesn't work. Today updated to Xcode 8.2 (8C38) and still doesn't work. Running El Capitan. – Sethrida 18/12, 2016 at 2:19

I am sad that this is the actual answer, but it worked for me with Xcode 8.2 – Yaws 19/12, 2016 at 0:30

Just worked for me in 8.2.1. Why on earth is this still a bug? – Sparerib 25/1, 2017 at 23:17

This also works for Xcode 8.2 (8C38). Rebooting does not appear to be required. I cannot be certain, but the occurrence of this issue may be correlated with using Xcode to start and stop an app a large number of times in a relatively short period of time. – Travertine 8/2, 2017 at 20:42

Command not found on High Sierra, any ideas? – Tlingit 16/10, 2017 at 6:9

I had this issue with the Xcode 8 GM version. I just moved Xcode 8 into another directory and opened it again. Then it works.

The terminal command no helps for me, but this is works! I simply quit the Xcode, rename Xcode's app name, and reopen it, then everything works fine. Awesome, thanks a lot! – Oversubtlety 1/10, 2016 at 7:15

You aren't, by some chance, commenting out the second line of a multi-line macro, are you? If so, I already filed a bug about it, and it was broken in Xcode 7, too.

Otherwise, the way you fix it is to

File a bug report at bugreport.apple.com
Roll back to a previous version (or just ignore it and manually comment out the lines)

I am commenting uncommented lines (or at least trying). Seems it is problem with XCode. I will try raise a bug. Thanks – Myriagram 16/8, 2016 at 18:29

XCode 8 GM is out for download which fixes issue: https://developer.apple.com/download/

I am using the full release of XCode 8, and this issue still persists. The accepted answer does solve the problem, but Apple hasn't fixed it. – Wentletrap 22/9, 2016 at 23:27
