Lesson 6: Control not entering verify function

[rayb0y]

Hey everyone! Thanks for being such a supportive community! I am in Lesson 6, and I tried to run my Hardhat Simple Storage, which is running, but skipping over one key element - auto verification.
only when I'm doing this:

console.log("Deploying Contract...")
    const simpleStorage = await SimpleStorageFactory.deploy()
    await simpleStorage.deployed()
    console.log(`Deployed contract to: ${simpleStorage.address}`)
    if (network.config.chainId === 4 || process.env.ETHERSCAN_API_KEY) {
        console.log("awaiting block confirmations...")
        await simpleStorage.deployTransaction.wait(6)
        await verify(simpleStorage.address, [])
    }

This is working, output:

Deploying Contract...
Deployed contract to: 0x1B6bC113F3A3168F46Bd7791319dC9b8D984a732

The following is the output when I use Patrick's code:

Compiled 1 Solidity file successfully
Deploying Contract...

This is my hardhat.config.js:

require("@nomiclabs/hardhat-waffle")

require("dotenv").config()

require("@nomiclabs/hardhat-etherscan")

task("accounts", "Prints the list of accounts", async (taskArgs, hre) => {
    const accounts = await hre.ethers.getSigners()

    for (const account of accounts) {
        console.log(account.address)
    }
})

const RINKEBY_RPC_URL = process.env.RINKEBY_RPC_URL
const PRIVATE_KEY = process.env.PRIVATE_KEY
const ETHERSCAN_API_KEY = process.env.ETHERSCAN_API_KEY

module.exports = {
    defaultNetwork: "hardhat",
    networks: {
        rinkeby: {
            url: RINKEBY_RPC_URL,
            accounts: [PRIVATE_KEY],
            chainID: 4,
        },
    },
    solidity: "0.8.8",
    etherscan: {
        apiKey: ETHERSCAN_API_KEY,
    },
}

What is happening here? I feel like I'm missing something very small.

Thank you for your time!

@rayb0y which one is your output please clarify, it is not clear. You are showing the output, but the first output is correct, I do not know which one is your output.

[rayb0y]

I got the first output after i replaced the && with || in the if statement.

The second output is when I'm using Patrick's code.

[alymurtazamemon]

@rayb0y print both chainId, and etherscan key before if statement, you will see one of them will be undefined that's why it was not entering to if block with && condition.

[alymurtazamemon]

@rayb0y chainID: 4, here D is capital.

Wow okay thanks a lot! I really wish I didn't make small mistakes like these :0
