Lesson 5: "Deploying, please wait....." taking forever to deploy. Please help.

[IshanShirodkar]

const ethers = require("ethers");

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

async function main() {
  const provider = new ethers.providers.JsonRpcProvider(
    "HTTP://172.20.96.1:7545"
  );

  const wallet = new ethers.Wallet(
    "0x1db5f58ae3f12fa6736307585b2deeb4ff75d836574c2be9d974f6caa1131e10",
    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);
}

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

The above code is showing no output after deploying. The only thing visible is "Deploying, please wait...". Please tell me if i have made any mistake...

@IshanShirodkar Are your Ganache Node running?

[alymurtazamemon]

@IshanShirodkar here is the code;

@alymurtazamemon Ohh i see. What do you think went wrong with mine ?

Only two things, either RPC URL or Private Key.

@IshanShirodkar But you do not need to worry about this, only take the learnings from this lesson and move on to the next lesson because we will not use Ganache after this lesson and we will use the Hardhat so this lesson is not so important (just learn the basics of how transactions work, etc).

@alymurtazamemon Ohh alright. Thanks again for helping. Really appreciate it...
