Lesson 2 : deploying the first contract to ethereum testnet.

[Mahendrabhishek]

I can't see any injected web3 provider in environment settings while deploying the contract and hence my metamask won't pop up while deploying the contract.

Options I see are :
Remix VM (London)
Remix VM (Berlin)
Injected Provider
Hardhat Provider
Ganache Provider
Foundry Provider
Wallet Connect
External Http Provider
L2 - Optimism Provider
L2 - Arbitrum One Provider

does anyone know what can I do to deploy my first little contract on the testnet?

I'm a newbie and I have little knowledge of coding.

@Mahendrabhishek Remix underwent an upgrade and they changed some of the network names. Javascript VM was changed to Remix VM(London), and Web3 Provider was changed to Injected Provider. So Just choose Remix VM for local compilation. But if you want to deploy to a testnet like rinkeby(Like in your case right now), choose Injected Provider.
Make sure you have installed Metamask in the same browser you are using remix.

Also, check the network you are on (in MetaMask)

Hey, thanks for the response but I was asking about the offline version of remix ide.
things are working fine in online version and metamask is popping up everytime I deploy the contract but not when I do it in offline version.

I doubt an offline version will work on injected Web3 since these are live chains that need internet connection to access and interact with the blockchain.

Thanks a lot for your feedback sir.

@Mahendrabhishek : Just click on the Injected Provider Metamask,
Your metamask will pop and make sure metamask is pinned to your browser. Hopefully, It will resolve your issue!

@Mahendrabhishek : You should always use Online version of Remix IDE. Because offline version is not as efficient.

Hopefully, You get my point!

[Mahendrabhishek]

Yes I will try doing that I mean I am just in a full time job that has no access to the internet so I use offline version of Remix but I'll try using the online version sir.
Thanks a lot for your feedback.
