Lesson 5 Ethers.js Simple Storage: Minute 7:20

[FernandoJ1995]

I am trying to deploy my Simple Storage contract and keep encountering the following error. Have been trying to figure it out for some time now and really having trouble with it.

fernando@DESKTOP-I312HEC:~/folder/hh-fcc/ethers-simple-storage$ node deploy.js
Here is the deployment transaction: 
ReferenceError: contract is not defined
    at main (/home/fernando/folder/hh-fcc/ethers-simple-storage/deploy.js:23:15)
    at Object.<anonymous> (/home/fernando/folder/hh-fcc/ethers-simple-storage/deploy.js:42:1)
    at Module._compile (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1103:14)

    at Function.executeUserEntryPoint [as runMain] (node:internal/modules/run_main:77:12)
    at node:internal/main/run_main_module:17:47

I have tried multiple solutions but nothing has worked, can anybody help me?

Send the code for deploy.js with three backticks before and after the code. Thanks

Appreciate the response, been trying to run the code and I keep running with the error that is above. Here is the code for deploy.js. I am not sure why my error is appearing though, the code should be good but I am not completely sure. The error does not really specify what is wrong from my point of view at least.

// const ethers = require("ethers");
const fs = require("fs-extra");

async function main() {
  const provider = new ethers.providers.JsonRpcProvider(
    "http://172.17.112.1:7545"
  );
  const wallet = new ethers.Wallet(
    "5885d390e9ff6249f8b846e59e431c0192eb19ca4e8db2c6ca39523cb13126c3",
    provider
  );
  const abi = fs.readFileSync("./SimpleStorage_sol_SimpleStorage.abi", "utf8");
  const binary = fs.readFileSync(
    "./SimpleStorage_sol_SimpleStorage.bin",
    "utf8"
  );
  // const contractFactory = new ethers.ContractFactory(abi, binary, wallet);
  // console.log("Deploying, please wait...");
  // const contract = await contractFactory.deploy();
  // const deploymentReceipt = await contract.deployTransaction.wait(1);
  
  console.log("Here is the deployment transaction: ");
  console.log(contract.deployTransaction);
  console.log("Here is the transaction receipt: ");
  console.log(transactionReceipt);

  console.log("Let's deploy with only transaction data!");

  console.log(sentTxResponse);

main()
  .then(() => process.exit(0))
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error(error);
  });

I am trying to find why the code is not running so I can keep moving forward without any issues when deploying something similar to this.

[Rishi860]

In the console.log(contract.deployTransaction) you are accessing contract variable which has been commented out by you.
You just need to comment out your console statements, anyway you are trying for a different approach of deploying the contract with transaction data.
