Lesson 6: ReferenceError : contract is not defined

[yatinkhandelwal]

This is the error that I'm encountering

[waleedcj]

could you paste your deploy.js here, also try recompiling contracts again by

1. deleting cache
2. deleting artifacts
3. compile and run

[mattjaf]

you could try

yarn hardhat clean

yarn hardhat deploy --network rinkeby --reset

your deploy script might have an error in it where your defining contract

[yatinkhandelwal]

yarn hardhat deploy --network rinkeby --reset this command gives me an error:

[DorianDaSilva]

@yatinkhandelwal Can you share you deploy script, please? It seems to be a simple issue defining the contract but we need to see the script.

[yatinkhandelwal]

//deploy.js file

const { ethers } = require("hardhat")

async function main() {
  const SimpleStorageFactory = await ethers.getContractFactory("SimpleStorage")
  console.log("Deploying contract...")
  const simpleStorage = await SimpleStorageFactory.deploy()
  await simpleStorage.deployed()
  console.log(`Contract deployed to: ${contract.address}`)
}

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

In console.log, you are trying to access contract.address where the variable contract isn't defined anywhere in the file.

Use simpleStorage.address instead

Hey thanks a lot, that worked. I made a silly mistake from my side
