Ballerina Native Build Returns an Error for UUID Package

I am in the process of utilizing ballerina native build in my microservice. The native build fails with the following log.

ERROR [ballerina/uuid/1.3.0::/root/.ballerina/repositories/central.ballerina.io/bala/ballerina/uuid/1.3.0/java11/modules/uuid/utils.bal:(23:28,23:46)] '0x8000000000000000' is out of range for 'int'
ERROR [ballerina/uuid/1.3.0::/root/.ballerina/repositories/central.ballerina.io/bala/ballerina/uuid/1.3.0/java11/modules/uuid/utils.bal:(23:28,23:46)] '0x8000000000000000' is out of range for 'int'

The dependencies.toml refers to the following uuid module/s

[[package]]
org = "ballerina"
name = "uuid"
version = "1.3.0"
dependencies = [
	{org = "ballerina", name = "crypto"},
	{org = "ballerina", name = "jballerina.java"},
	{org = "ballerina", name = "lang.int"},
	{org = "ballerina", name = "regex"},
	{org = "ballerina", name = "time"}
]
modules = [
	{org = "ballerina", packageName = "uuid", moduleName = "uuid"}
]

The Dockerfile is as follows.

How do I fix this error?

The GraalVM native-image build is supported in Ballerina 2201.3.0(SwanLake) or greater. So the GraalVM compatible uuid version is 1.4.0.

Your Dependencies.toml has been updated with a lower version. This might be because you have build it locally with a Ballerina version lower than 2201.3.0.

In the docker file you are pulling Ballerina 2201.3.2. So I believe the error you mentioned is thrown from the compiler. This is expected as your Dependencies.toml is pointing to the incompatible versions. You can try by deleting the Dependencies.toml or update it with the version used in the docker file.

In addition to the above issue, the GraalVM version pulled in the docker file is incompatible with Ballerina. You should install GraalVM java 11 supported version with native-image build tool and set GRAALVM_HOME.

Ballerina provides a --cloud option to generate the docker file for you. You could use bal build --native --cloud=docker. For more information, see Build a native executable.
