Why doesn't build_runner generate files when serializing JSON in dart/flutter

I'm just trying to generate my files with the same command i stored like 3 months ago (i'm not very good with backend and devops) and now it doesn't generate the files anymore. It tells me to use the delete command which i don't remember but even using that one my files still won't be generated. This is what my log looks like, and below you can find the code for a simple class.

One of my guesses would be this has something to do with me changing my github account, since there's the permission issue mentioned.

Im using vs code in windows 10.

log file:

class file:

import 'package:json_annotation/json_annotation.dart';
part 'organisation.g.dart';

@JsonSerializable()
class Organisation {
  final String name;
  Organisation({this.name});

  factory Organisation.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) => _$OrganisationFromJson(json);

  Map<String, dynamic> toJson() => _$OrganisationToJson(this);
}

I had a similar issue, but I am using Android Studio IDE and I have done the following step:

File => Invalidate caches / Restart

Run following command:

flutter clean

flutter pub get

flutter packages pub run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs
