Lesson 5 - Deployment error!

[zubyoha]

Hi, I'm having issues here, can someone help?

ERROR MESSAGE:
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'JsonRpcProvider')
at main (/home/zubyoha/folder/ethers-simple-storage/deploy.js:9:41)
at Object. (/home/zubyoha/folder/ethers-simple-storage/deploy.js:27:1)

CODE:

const ethers = require("ethers");

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

async function main() {
  // compile them in our code
  // compile them separately
  // http://127.0.0.1:7545
  const provider = new ethers.providers.JsonRpcProvider(
    "http://127.0.0.1:7545"
  );
  const wallet = new ethers.Wallet(
    "0xc81a4c8e63eccb9c41e755de3c72f785c3fe915f4950565105cb277af389aa24",
    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);
  });

Worked for me, latest version of ethers seem to be unstable. Saw a couple of posts on Stack Exchange as well: https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/144451/typeerror-cannot-read-properties-of-undefined-reading-jsonrpcprovider
