ednc--get-hint errors out on valid association list about ednc HOT 4 CLOSED

Thank you very much for the quick response!

Plover works correctly with DBus introspection now. Thank you!

Thanks for writing ednc! I use it with exwm and love it!

Thank you, glad to hear!

The first argument is a valid association list.

I'm not so sure about that. The notification specification contains the following sentence:

When adding a dictionary of hints, this type must be used, rather than putting the actual hint value in as the dictionary value.

So, the way I understand it (which is also the way the notifications library of Emacs interprets it when sending notifications), the code should look like this:

(ednc--get-hint '(("urgency" (1))) "urgency")

Did you encounter this issue with a specific application? If programs exist in the wild that violate the spec in this way, I might add a workaround.

I think it tries to introspect to find the types, and maybe because ednc does not implement introspection, it sends out wrongly typed messages. Does that make sense?

Yes, you're absolutely right! I didn't realize that some programs rely on introspection even in cases like this, where the specification fully describes the expected types of everything.

I just added support for introspection, and now notifications created in the same way as by Plover work fine. If you could just confirm that your problem with Plover is gone, I can close this issue. Thanks again.
