Failed to open file composer.json. Please verify the archive

[Jack]

Hey, follow developers, I am new in Magento2 module development and I have successfully managed to build a custom courier module that hits a third party API to generate quotations and creating client's bookings.

Now, my is issue is, when I go to Magento Technical Submission page to attach my module for review, I get an error: Failed to open file composer.json. Please verify the archive.

Hello @Jack ,

Trust you are doing well!

Make sure your module and composer files are placed in the root location of your archive file.

Assume you have developed a module below the app/code/Vendor/Module.

Create a composer file
Go to app/code/Vendor/Module and create the following composer.json file:

{
"name": "vendor/module",
"description": "Description of your Magento 2 module",
"type": "magento2-module",
"version": "0.1.0",
"license": [
"OSL-3.0",
"AFL-3.0"
],
"require": {
"php": "~5.5.0|~5.6.0|~7.0.0",
"magento/framework": "~100.0.4"
},
"authors": [
{
"name": "Firstname Lastname",
"email": "email@address.com",
"homepage": "https://www.store.com/",
"role": "Developer"
}
],
"autoload": {
"files": [ "registration.php" ],
"psr-4": {
"Vendor\Module\": ""
}
}
}
