Cannot create default Dataset when starting Apify actor on local environment

[ivanvs]

In local environment with latest version of apify and crawlee, I am getting error below on startup:

Exception has occurred: ValueError
Invalid storage name "charging_log". Name can only contain letters "a" through "z", the digits "0" through"9", and the hyphen ("-") but only in the middle of the string (e.g. "my-value-1")
  File "/media/projects/apify/src/__main__.py", line 12, in test_actor
    async with Actor:
               ^^^^^
  File "/media/projects/apify/src/__main__.py", line 26, in <module>
    asyncio.run(test_actor()) 
    ~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ValueError: Invalid storage name "charging_log". Name can only contain letters "a" through "z", the digits "0" through"9", and the hyphen ("-") but only in the middle of the string (e.g. "my-value-1")

As far as I could tell Apify was not changing their code for quiet a long time:

apify-sdk-python/src/apify/_charging.py

Line 187 in 0c32f29

dataset = await Dataset.open(name=self.LOCAL_CHARGING_LOG_DATASET_NAME)

.

Everything seems to work fine with crawlee version 1.0.0.

Code that I am using to start actor:

async def test_actor():
    async with Actor:
        await create_scraper()

asyncio.run(test_actor()) 

apify version: 3.0.3
crawlee version: 1.0.4
python: 3.13

Hi @vdusek,

Thank you for your response. I understand that you introduced validation, that is clear to me.

But default name for local charging log dataset is not in sync with new validation and does not passing validation as you can see. Name can be found here:

apify-sdk-python/src/apify/_charging.py

Line 121 in 0c32f29

LOCAL_CHARGING_LOG_DATASET_NAME = 'charging_log'

Maybe we could change this default name?

Hi @ivanvs, thanks for reporting this. We will look into that.
