[Bug]: Got error said "icon file not found" although the icon is inside the bala file. about ballerina-lang

[ip2location]

Hi @anuruddhal,

Thanks for the tips, we had manually edit it in our Bala file and managed to push to the Central. Hope to see the fix.

@ip2location I tried pushing the package and I couldn't reproduce the issue. I was able to publish the package successfully under my organization.

We were able to reproduce the issue in a Windows machine. The issue is with the icon path in package.json in .bala file.

The path is as below in windows.

"icon": "docs\\icon.png",

Where is should be

"icon": "docs/icon.png",

We will add a fix for this. As a workaround you can manually modify the package.json file in the .bala file and push it to Central.

When we do a bal pack on a package from a Windows machine, the icon path would be recorded in the Package.json file as "docs\icon.png" using the file separator specific for Windows.
But when we try to push this package to Central, validations to check the icon path fails as the OS is different from the Central side and the icon path recorded is no longer a proper file path.
We are looking into the best way to fix this and will provide a fix in a release soon to come.
