Lesson 6: Error: invalid bytecode (argument="bytecode", value=undefined, code=INVALID_ARGUMENT, version=contracts/5.7.0)

[baroonjha]

My hardhat.config.js file

require("@nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox")

require("dotenv").config()

/** @type import('hardhat/config').HardhatUserConfig */

const GOERLI_RPC_URL = process.env.GOERLI_RPC_URL
const PRIVATE_KEY = process.env.PRIVATE_KEY
module.exports = {
    defaultNetwork: "hardhat",
    networks: {
      hardhat:{},
      goerli: {
        url: GOERLI_RPC_URL,
        accounts: [PRIVATE_KEY],
        chainId: 5,
        },
    },
    solidity: "0.8.8",
}

Error I'm getting

my deploy.js file

const {ethers} = require("hardhat")

async function main(){
  const SimpleStorageFactory = await ethers.ContractFactory("SimpleStorage")

  console.log
  ("Deploying contract ....")

  const simpleStorage = await SimpleStorageFactory.deploy()
  await simpleStorage.deploy()
}



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

my .env file

GOERLI_RPC_URL = here i have given my rpc url

PRIVATE_KEY = i have pasted my private key here but i have not shown here

my contract is getting compiled wituout any error.

in deploy file:
Change to await ethers.getContractFactory("SimpleStorage:)

async function main(){
  const SimpleStorageFactory = await ethers.ContractFactory("SimpleStorage")
