Can't create simple application.

[Filipp-Druan]

Hello! I tried to write the most simple application:

(define-application (:name main
                     :id   "qwertyuiop")
  (define-main-window (main-window (make-application-window :application
                                                            *application*))
    (setf (window-title main-window)
          "Share-files")

    (let ((main-box (make-box :orientation +orientation-vertical+
                              :spacing     0)))
      (setf (window-child main-window)
            main-box)

      (window-present main-window))))

When I called main function I got this:

Backtrace:

application = NIL

Your application ID is invalid. For example, you can set it to org.filipp.qwertyuiop.

Thanks! Can you write rules of application id naming in documentation?

[Filipp-Druan]

I suggest creating a file of NOTES in which to put such non-obvious points.

[bohonghuang]

In the official documentation of GTK4, it is mentioned in the new constructor of Application:

If application_id is not NULL, then it must be valid. See g_application_id_is_valid().

Please refer to the GIO documentation for the rules regarding application IDs.

Currently I haven't found a good way to embed the official documentation of GTK and related libraries into Lisp's Docstring. Therefore, referring to the official documentation directly is still the preferred method for troubleshooting.
