Lesson 6: Verification on Etherscan Goerli not working

[malachy17]

I have the below function taken from lesson six's deploy.js example.

When running deploy.js using hardhat, onto the Goerli network, the console.log("After verification") is never run. However, no errors are output, and yet when I check Goerli Etherscan, the code is not verified.

What is the issue that prevents those console.log statements from running and why isn't the verification working?

async function verify(contractAddress, args) {
  let verificationResponse;
  try {
    console.log("Verifying contract");
    await run("verify:verify", {
      address: contractAddress,
      constructorArguments: args,
    });
    console.log("After verification");
  } catch (e) {
    if (e.message.toLowerCase().includes("already verified")) {
      console.log("Already verified");
    } else {
      console.log(e);
    }
  }
}

post your repo link here. From the verify.js file, looks likes you didn't import {run} and what's purpose of this line: let verificationResponse;

Try:

const verify = async (contractAddress, args) =>{
    console.log("Verifying contract...")
try{

Need to see the explorer and deploy-raffle file
You have to have your verify in utils and properly imported into deploy-raffle

@malachy17 We need to see your complete so can find the issue, it would be better to leave your repo link.

In the main function in the if statement make sure "network.config.chainId === 5" and not 4 like in the tutorial.
