informe o client_id da sua app do Trakt

Error message

informe o client_id da sua app do Trakt

What it means

trakt::save_app validates that after applying the provided client_id/client_secret, the stored credentials contain a non-empty client_id. The Trakt API application registration requires a client_id, so saving without one is rejected before anything is written.

Solutions

Create a Trakt application at https://trakt.tv/oauth/applications and copy its client_id
Pass the client_id string as the id argument to save_app (non-empty)
Check the input field is not blank — trim accidental whitespace-only input before calling
If a client_id was previously saved, confirm the credentials file loads (see 'sem pasta de dados' error if it does not)

Example fix

// before
trakt::save_app("", "some-secret")?;
// after
trakt::save_app("abc123def456clientid", "some-secret")?;

Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

let id = id.trim().to_string();
if id.is_empty() {
    return Err("preencha o client_id da app do Trakt antes de salvar");
}

Try / catch

match trakt::save_app(&id, &secret) {
    Err(e) if e.to_string().contains("client_id") => {
        eprintln!("crie uma app em trakt.tv/oauth/applications e cole o client_id");
    }
    other => other?,
}

Prevention

Create the Trakt application first and store the client_id in your settings UI
Trim and non-empty check the client_id input before calling save_app
Never clear the client_id field while leaving it required downstream

When it happens

Trigger: Calling save_app with an empty or whitespace-only id argument and no previously stored client_id (or the stored credentials failed to load), so c.client_id remains empty after merging the arguments.

Common situations: User opened the Trakt settings dialog and submitted without pasting the client_id; the Trakt app was never created on trakt.tv so there is no client_id to paste; a previously saved client_id was cleared and save_app called with empty args expecting the old value.
