Lesson 5: ReferenceError: contract is not defined

[mikechaban]

Hi, everyone

When trying to sign a transaction and view it in the console via

const signedTxResponse = await wallet.signTransaction(tx);
  console.log(signedTxResponse);

I get an error saying ReferenceError: contract is not defined at main (/Users/jasmine_sprout/Desktop/full-blockchain-solidity-course-js/ethers-simple-storage/deploy.js:31:15)

I believe that this is happening due to me commenting out the contract variable previously in the code:

// const contractFactory = new ethers.ContractFactory(abi, binary, wallet);
  // console.log("Deploying, please wait...");

  // const contract = await contractFactory.deploy(); // We're telling our code to stop here, wait for the contract to deploy
  // const transactionReceipt = await contract.deployTransaction.wait(1);

However, when done in the video it works for Patrick even with the variable commented out. The output he receives in the console looks like this:

Can I recreate this result without uncommenting the contract variable? If I do, a new entire contract is deployed.

You can find the full code here.

Resolved by commenting out console.log(contract.deployTransaction); and console.log(transactionReceipt);
