Lesson 14: Unable to upload token images using Pinata

[RijuChakraborty]

On deploying 02-deploy-random-ipfs-nft.js , it doesn't upload the image tokens to Pinata.

Running the command yarn hardhat deploy --tags randomipfs,mocks on terminal ,
it shows shows this-

Nothing to compile

and no files got uploaded to Pinata.

I have followed every step as shown in the video, still facing this issue.

Deploy script ( 02-deploy-random-ipfs-nft.js )-

const {network, ethers}= require("hardhat")
const {developmentChains, networkConfig}= require("../helper-hardhat-config")
const {verify}= require("../utils/verify")
const {storeImages}= require("../utils/uploadToPinata")
// require("dotenv").config()

const imagesLocation = "./images/randomNft"

module.exports= async function ({getNamedAccounts, deployments}){
    
    const {deploy, log}= deployments
    const {deployer}= await getNamedAccounts()
    const chainId= network.config.chainId
    let tokenUris

    if(process.env.UPLOAD_TO_PINATA== "true"){
        tokenUris = await handleTokenUris()
    }

    let VRFCoordinatorV2Address, subscriptionId

    if (developmentChains.includes(network.name)){
        const VRFCoordinatorV2Mock= await ethers.getContract("VRFCoordinatorV2Mock")
        VRFCoordinatorV2Address= VRFCoordinatorV2Mock.address
        const tx= await VRFCoordinatorV2Mock.createSubscription()
        const txReceipt= await tx.wait(1)
        subscriptionId= txReceipt.events[0].args.subId
    }
    else{
        VRFCoordinatorV2Address= networkConfig[chainId].VRFCoordinatorV2
        subscriptionId= networkConfig[chainId].subscriptionId
    }

    log("------------------------------------------------------------")
    await storeImages(imagesLocation)
    // const args= [
    //     VRFCoordinatorV2Address,
    //     subscriptionId,
    //     networkConfig[chainId].gasLane,
    //     networkConfig[chainId].callbackGasLimit,
    //     networkConfig[chainId].mintFee,
    // ]

}

async function handleTokenUris(){
    tokenUris= []

    return tokenUris;
}

module.exports.tags= ["all", "randomipfs", "main"]

Upload to Pinata script ( uploadToPinata.js ) -

const pinataSDK= require("@pinata/sdk")
const path= require("path")
const fs= require("fs")
require("dotenv").config()

const pinataApiKey= process.env.PINATA_API_KEY
const pinataApiSecret= process.env.PINATA_API_SECRET
const pinata= pinataSDK(pinataApiKey, pinataApiSecret)

async function storeImages(imagesFilePath){
    const fullImagesPath= path.resolve(imagesFilePath)
    const files= fs.readdirSync(fullImagesPath)
    console.log(files)
    let responses= []
    console.log("Uploading to Pinata!")
    for (fileIndex in files){
        console.log(`Working on ${fileIndex}...`)
        const readableStreamForFile= fs.createReadStream(`${fullImagesPath}/${files[fileIndex]}`)
        try{
            const response= await pinata.pinFileToIPFS(readableStreamForFile)
            responses.push(response)
        }catch(error){
            console.log(error)
        }
    }
    return { responses, files }
}

module.exports={ storeImages }

Note-

1. I have checked for all the required dependencies and I have all of them installed in my project
2. Image tokens are present in the exact path as mentioned in deploy script i.e. "./images/randomNft"

I tried running without the tags, and now it works! Just run :

yarn hardhat deploy
