Lesson 5: ethers.js Simple Storage - Error: cannot estimate gas

[BentCrypto]

Hello

I am currently using hardhat as my local blockchain.
when I am trying to deploy my contract I get this error: "Error: cannot estimate gas; transaction may fail or may require manual gas limit"

Is there something I am missing since I am using hardhat and not ganache?

Following ethers documentation: Link I tried to add gasLimit but it did not help.

The code should be same:

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

gaslimit: "100000000000000";

async function main() {
  // compile them in our code
  // compile them separately
  // http://127.0.0.1:7545
  const provider = new ethers.providers.JsonRpcProvider(
    "http://127.0.0.1:8545"
  );
  const wallet = new ethers.Wallet(
    "0x59c6995e998f97a5a0044966f0945389dc9e86dae88c7a8412f4603b6b78690d",
    provider
  );
  const abi = fs.readFileSync("./SimpleStorage_sol_SimpleStorage.abi", "utf8");
  const binary = fs.readFileSync("./SimpleStorage_sol_SimpleStorage.bin");

  const contractFactory = new ethers.ContractFactory(abi, binary, wallet);
  console.log("Deploying, please wait...");
  const contract = await contractFactory.deploy();
  const transactionReceipt = await contract.deployTransaction.wait(1);

}

main()
  .then(() => proecess.exit(0))
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error(error);
    process.exit(1);
  });

This is a snipet of the error:

 reason: 'processing response error',
    code: 'SERVER_ERROR',
    body: '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":49,"error":{"code":-32003,"message":"Transaction ran out of gas","data":{"message":"Transaction ran out of gas","data":"0x"}}}',

Error here:

const binary = fs.readFileSync(
        "./SimpleStorage_sol_SimpleStorage.bin",
        "utf8"
    )

Also, add this after the transactionReceipt:

console.log(`Contract deployed to ${contract.address}`)

Hope this helps!

Which line does this refer to? at /root/hh-fcc/ethers-simple-storage-fcc/deploy.js:33:24

[BentCrypto]

That is the folder and file in Visual studio code

[krakxn]

No no -- what line as in, the code relevant in that line (33rd line).

[BentCrypto]

I am so sorry, I am very new to this so did not understand that it was referring to the line.
I had a spelling mistake on line 33:24

Now it works!!
Thank you so much Krakxn, you are amazing!!

No need to apologize!! We are all new at one point, what matters is learning consistently. All the best!
