HardhatError: HH700: Artifact for contract "SimpleStorage" not found.

[Lob12]

// imports
const { ethers } = require("hardhat")

// async main
async function main() {
    const SimpleStorageFactory = await ethers.getContractFactory(
        "SimpleStorage"
    )
    console.log("Deploying contract...")
    const simpleStorage = await SimpleStorageFactory.deploy()
    await simpleStorage.deployed()
    console.log(`Deployed contract to: ${simpleStorage.address}`)
}
// main
main()
    .then(() => process.exit(0))
    .catch((error) => {
        console.error(error)
        process.exit(1)
    })

Keep getting error down below. I have SimpleStorage.sol as a file.

~/hh-fccl/hardhat-simple-storage-fcc$ yarn hardhat run scripts/deploy.js

Please @Lob12 try to re-compile it first and then try to re-run the run command. AND if it helps in fixing the issue.

[Lob12]

re-compiled and same issue

[alymurtazamemon]

@Lob12 run these commands;

npx hardhat clean
npx hardhat compile

[Lob12]

Tried this and did not work

[Lob12]

I redoing the lesson. I'm noticing that "accounts" is not listed as a task when running yarn hardhat. I'm not sure if this has something to do with it?

[Lob12]

I've redone the entire lesson, Rechecked everything and the same error occurs. There has to be an update missing. Going to skip it. Simplestorage is simply not being found

[alymurtazamemon]

@Lob12 If you have started again then ok, if you face again then just leave a repo link, we will solve the issue.

#1937 go to this will solve it u have to put the old simpleStorage.sol code into the contracts delete the greetings code

[ghost]

the issue may should be from your SimpleStorage.sol, go to the github repo of "Hardhat Simple Storage" copy his SimpleStorage.sol file, and paste it in your SimpleStorage.sol file, save it, try running the script, I did this it worked for me, hope it works for you

[philipo0]

this worked for me

[joeljosjoseph]

I think the issue is simply because the contract name is not exactly "SimpleStorage" (not the file name but the contract inside it). If it is not, then rename it to "SimpleStorage". It should hopefully fix it.

Thanks, this helped!!

@Lob12 I am capable of running your deploy.js file in my laptop successfully.
So you have surely made some mistake while setting up the environment and not in the above code.
