And can you rename

todolist.app.TodoList

to

TodoListApp

and double check that your primaryView ref still points to

TodoList

?

Why do you have the fields in the companion object? That makes no sense, and is even wrong considering View scopes.

Hmm, it compiles and works, it just doesn't work when I use the resource thing

Another tip: Avoid saving field references in the view, use properties bound to the components instead.

But more importantly: I see no reference to

resource

in

TodoList

?

Ah, you're talking about the one in your App class.

this part setStageIcon(resources.image("icon.png"))

I got confused 🙂

Yeah

Let's see..

Where have you placed icon.png?

The

resources

helper look for resources in the same package/folder as the class you're accessing it from, so that would be resources/todolist/app.

I thought so, and then I made a folder inside the app class and named it resources but it didn't work either

The reason can be seen in the implementation, it simply does

component.javaClass.getResource(resource)

Do that, and show me the target folder where resources have been copied to the correct folder.

?

Looks correct.

It doesn't work though 😞

I think I see the issue now.

You're calling setStageIcon before the stage is created.

🤔

Override

start

in your app class, call super first, then call

setStageIcon

. You're doing it in the init block of the class, before the framework has had a chance to assign a stage.

.. or even start JavaFX at all.

Hm.. actually, the

setStageIcon

function does handle that.

Looking at the sources now.

It did something yet still loggin an error, the app opens and suddenly closes again

Can I run this project, is it available in a public repo?

No

it isn't
