mouseMoved function not called when I move the mouse? - swift3

Question

I am trying to find mouse coordinates within an SKScene, however, the moveMouse function is not being called. (This is in a Swift Playground by the way) I even wrote a print function that tested to see if the function was even being called, but it prints absolutely nothing.
This is how I set up my NSTrackingArea:
let options = [NSTrackingAreaOptions.mouseMoved, NSTrackingAreaOptions.activeInKeyWindow, NSTrackingAreaOptions.activeAlways, NSTrackingAreaOptions.inVisibleRect, ] as NSTrackingAreaOptions
let tracker = NSTrackingArea(rect: viewFrame, options: options, owner: self.view, userInfo: nil)
self.view?.addTrackingArea(tracker)
And here is the mouseMoved function (the one that is not being called)
override public func mouseMoved(with event: NSEvent) {
point = event.location(in: self)
print(point)
}
Is there a reason that mouseMoved isn't being called?

Answer 1

I created a playground with the following code (and only that code):
import AppKit
import SpriteKit
import PlaygroundSupport
class Scene:SKScene {
override public func mouseMoved(with event: NSEvent) {
let point = event.location(in: self)
print(point)
}
}
let frame = CGRect(x:0, y:0, width:1920, height:1080)
let view = SKView(frame:frame)
let scene = Scene(size: CGSize(width: 1080, height: 1080))
scene.backgroundColor = #colorLiteral(red: 0.4078431373, green: 0.7843137255, blue: 0.6509803922, alpha: 1)
scene.scaleMode = .aspectFit
let options = [NSTrackingAreaOptions.mouseMoved, NSTrackingAreaOptions.activeInKeyWindow, NSTrackingAreaOptions.activeAlways, NSTrackingAreaOptions.inVisibleRect, ] as NSTrackingAreaOptions
let tracker = NSTrackingArea(rect:frame, options: options, owner:view, userInfo: nil)
view.addTrackingArea(tracker)
PlaygroundPage.current.needsIndefiniteExecution = true
view.presentScene(scene)
PlaygroundPage.current.liveView = view
Then, I opened the playground Timeline view by clicking the "Show the Assistant Editor" button in the toolbar. I also opened the Debug area so that I could see the console.
At that point, the Timeline view showed a green view. I moved my mouse pointer over the green view and I could see the mouse coordinates being printed out in the console. So, as far as I can tell, the above code works fine.
Could you please try the code at your end and see what happens?
