Unable to switch to another UIViewController when “Edit” UITableViewRowAction is pressed

Question

I want my swift app to open an UIViewController (called "SecondViewController") when the UITableViewRowAction "Edit" is pressed. However, my code below doesn't do anything; when I press the "Edit" action, absolutely nothing happens.

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, editActionsForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> [UITableViewRowAction]? {

//Edit action
let editAction = UITableViewRowAction(style: UITableViewRowActionStyle.Normal, title: "Edit") { (editAction, indexPath) -> Void in

    let secondViewController = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("secondViewController") as! SecondViewController
    self.navigationController?.pushViewController(secondViewController, animated: true)

}

return [editAction]

}

How could this be solved? Is this even possible? If more information is needed, please comment.

I think the navigation controller is nil. Please add the navigation controller in the storyboard — Mohammed Shakeer, Aug 23 '16 at 18:10
Ha that was quite simple. Didn't know that I NEED to have a uinavigationcontroller for this to work. thanks. Put it as an answer (just copy paste) so that I can mark it as correct. — Bossvanlindt, Aug 23 '16 at 20:03

I think the navigationController is nil. You can add the navigationController either through the storyboard or create it programatically and make the ViewController containing tableView as the rootViewController. This should work
