Go Buffalo：ERRO[0000] 错误：名称 buffalodevn 是不允许的，请尝试不同的应用程序名称

Question

When trying to start a new buffalo project in my Go Path I get this error, in my search I don't see any references to this error in the docs or in other questions on different forums. I've tried different names in different forms but I always get the same error and I can't figure out why. (tried names without buffalo)

ERRO[0000] Error: name buffalodevn is not allowed, try a different application name

when I run Buffalo Info

Answer 1

I found your question since I had the same problem and searched for a solution... Then I had a look into the source and found:

fb := append(opts.ForbiddenNames, "buffalo", "test", "dev")

So it seems the name is not allowed to contain "buffalo", "test" or "dev".
