method.identifier_invalid

A name is not a valid identifier


Type	`https://mthds.ai/errors/method.identifier_invalid`
Family	`method`: The method as written, the validation vocabulary included.
Domain	`method`: the method's author acts, by changing the method
Retry	`no`: repeating the operation fails the same way
HTTP status	`422`
Raised as	a problem document, sent as the body of an HTTP response or kept in a run's record

What it means

A pipe code, a main pipe or an input name breaks the naming rules: each is a plain snake_case identifier matching [a-z][a-z0-9_]*. A stored name, such as a step's result or batch_as or a PipeBatch's input_item_name, takes the form of an input name, so one that breaks it is this code too, and so is a plain batch_over starting with the reserved prefix _bound_.

What to do

Rename it to a plain snake_case identifier, with no dot and no capital letter, and update every reference to it.

Next steps

A problem carries the step aimed at whoever reads it: the first when its reader is the domain's actor, the method's author, and the second for any other reader.

Reader	Kind	Detail
The domain's actor	`change_method`	Rename '`{name}`' to a plain snake_case identifier, then validate the method again.
Any other reader	`contact_owner`	Ask the method's owner to rename '`{name}`'.

Detail

The problem's detail is written from this template, filled with the occurrence's parameters:

The name '{name}' breaks the naming rules of a {identifier_kind}.

Parameters

Every parameter is present on every occurrence of the code.

Name	Type	Description
`identifier_kind`	one of `pipe_code`, `main_pipe`, `input_name`	What the name is: a pipe code, the main pipe, or an input name, which a stored name takes the form of.
`name`	`caller_text`	The name as the method writes it.
