Lesson 5: Ether.js Simple Storage: Problems with console.log Favorite Number

[rgperkins]

There's not an issue per se; however, I am having some problems with the JavaScript syntax. Everything is running properly. When I deploy:

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

async function main() {
  //http://127.0.0.1:7545
  const provider = new ethers.providers.JsonRpcProvider(
    "http://127.0.0.1:7545"
  );
  const wallet = new ethers.Wallet(
    "73553d72c38dd56682a0ae59fd6de90b8e3b85d5b660f3bcd11652850d2c42ab",
    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();
  console.log(contract);
  //const deploymentReceipt = await contract.deployTransaction.wait(1);

  const currentFavoriteNumber = await contract.retrieve();
  console.log('Current Favorite Number: ${currentFavoriteNumber.toString()}');
}

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

It returns

Current Favorite Number: ${currentFavoriteNumber.toString()} 

instead of

Current Favorite Number: 0

And when I save the file, it always auto formats to

console.log("Current Favorite Number: ${currentFavoriteNumber.toString()}");

instead of

console.log('Current Favorite Number: ${currentFavoriteNumber.toString()}');

It's not a big issue, everything else is working properly. I going to move forward in the course, but I would like to know why this is happening. I am at the time marker 7:31:00, in case anyone is wondering. Thank-you in advance.

Add "0x" to your private key like this. 0x73553d72c38dd56682a0ae59fd6de90b8e3b85d5b660f3bcd11652850d2c42ab

@rgperkins You are using single quote instead of backtick.

console.log(`Current Favorite Number: ${currentFavoriteNumber.toString()}`);
