Got below error while running the first demo project using Ballerina Integration

invalid ‘org’ under [package]: ‘org’ can only contain alphanumerics and underscores

What is Ballerina?

Ballerina is a programming language made for connecting systems and APIs. It helps developers build cloud-based apps and integrations quickly.

And one important file in a Ballerina project is called Ballerina.toml. This file holds some basic information about your project — kind of like an ID card for your code.


Why it happened

What it’s really saying is that, the name you gave your organization (in the project file) has characters I don’t allow!

Invalid Value in Org Ballerina Project

The value "Maheshkumar Tiwari" has a space ( ) in it. Ballerina doesn’t like that. The org name can only contain letters, numbers, and underscores (_). No dashes, dots, or spaces!

What to do 

Just go into your Ballerina.toml file and change the org value to something that only uses:

  • Letters (A to Z, a to z)
  • Numbers (0 to 9)
  • Underscores (_)
corrected org in ballerina Toml file

Bad (will cause error):

org = “my-company”

org = “my.company”

org = “my company”

Good (will work just fine):

org = “mycompany”

org = “my_company”
