Account Reg: Fix a bug in account creation

in Witness Activities • 5 days ago

A few days ago, there was an error in creating one of the accounts - which appears to that the account name has a Upper case character, which is invalid.

Somehow, it passes the account validation. I've addressed this and it should be fine now:

2025-08-15 09:02:40: Error in account creation: 0/6, id=8493: {name":"RPCError","jse_shortmsg":"is_valid_account_name( name ): Account name Idris643 is invalid","jse_info":{"code":10,"name":"assert_exception","message":"Assert Exception","stack":[{"context":{"level":"error","file":"validation.hpp","line":19,"method":"validate_account_name","hostname":"","timestamp":"2025-08-15T21:02:40"},"format":"is_valid_account_name( name ): Account name ${n} is invalid","data":{"n":"Idris643"}},{"context":{"level":"warn","file":"database.cpp","line":3712,"method":"_apply_transaction","hostname":"","timestamp":"2025-08-15T21:02:40"},"format":"","data":{"trx":{"ref_block_num":3903,"ref_block_prefix":2948485708,"expiration":"2025-08-15T21:03:39","operations":[{"type":"create_claimed_account_operation","value":{"creator":"justyy","new_account_name":"Idris643","owner":{"weight_threshold":1,"account_auths":[],"key_auths":[["",1]]},"active":{"weight_threshold":1,"account_auths":[],"key_auths":[["",1]]},"posting":{"weight_threshold":1,"account_auths":[],"key_auths":[["",1]]},"memo_key":"","json_metadata":"","extensions":[]}}],"extensions":[],"signatures":[""]}}},{"context":{"level":"warn","file":"database.cpp","line":915,"method":"push_transaction","hostname":"","timestamp":"2025-08-15T21:02:40"},"format":"","data":{"trx":{"ref_block_num":3903,"ref_block_prefix":2948485708,"expiration":"2025-08-15T21:03:39","operations":[{"type":"create_claimed_account_operation","value":{"creator":"justyy","new_account_name":"Idris643","owner":{"weight_threshold":1,"account_auths":[],"key_auths":[["",1]]},"active":{"weight_threshold":1,"account_auths":[],"key_auths":[["",1]]},"posting":{"weight_threshold":1,"account_auths":[],"key_auths":[["",1]]},"memo_key":"","json_metadata":"","extensions":[]}}],"extensions":[],"signatures":[""]}}}]},"message":"is_valid_account_name( name ): Account name Idris643 is invalid"}

I've manually fixed this for the account creation:

The detailed error log you included is super helpful for anyone interested in the technical side of things, and it's reassuring to see such proactive maintenance. It's really interesting how a single uppercase character can throw a wrench in the works! Thanks for keeping the platform robust and user-friendly.
