Problems with deploy.js (stuck in pending with no help)

[LordReya]

I tried to fix this problem as described in #39 #34 and #75 but for some reason it is stuck at pending for an eternity. (picture attached in comments). I work on Windows with Ubuntu. It simply doesn't connect to Ganache...

Here is my code for reference:

//synchronous (Solidity) -- asynchronous (Javascript)

//async function setupMovieNight() {
//await cookPopcorn();
//await pourDrinks();
//startMovie();
//}
//function cookPopcorn() {
//return Promise();
//}

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

async function main() {
  //compile in code or seperately
  //http://127.0.0.1:7545
  const provider = new ethers.providers.JsonRpcProvider(
    "http://172.31.128.1:7545"
  );
  const wallet = new ethers.Wallet(
    "0eaae46dcb2aadfd07649447316fa54ac0871b05bbee76723c4178d49c4a42c4",
    provider
  );
  //abi+binary
  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(); //stop! wait contract to deploy bro!
  console.log(contract);
  //const deploymentReceipt = await contract.deployTransaction.wait(1);
  //console.log(deploymentReceipt);
}

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

Hi @consolexyz @LordReya Could you help? I ran hardhat but it is somehow not allowing me to select "Create an empty hardhat.config.js", among the three option only one option which is to "create a JavaScript project" is clickable.

Please create a separate discussion + mark me and I'll be glad to help you my friend :)

[LordReya]

my code

you need to put in const {ethers, network, (maybe NamedAccounts)} = require("hardhat")

Maybe this helps

@LordReya if we are using hardhat, do we need to add the private key and the http address in deploy.js?

Hi @LordReya it worked, I did not add "require("dotenv").config();". However, when I tried to run deply.js it threw an error saying
MODULE_NOT_FOUND and Cannot find module 'dotenv'
My deploy.js code looks something like this:

const ethers = require("ethers");
const fs = require("fs");
require("dotenv").config();

async function main() {
  // http://127.0.0.1:7545
  const provider = new ethers.providers.JsonRpcProvider(
    //"http://172.18.96.1:7545"
    "http://127.0.0.1:8545"
  );
  const wallet = new ethers.Wallet(
    "0xac0974bec39a17e36ba4a6b4d238ff944bacb478cbed5efcae784d7bf4f2ff80",
    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(() => ProcessingInstruction.exit(0))
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error(error);
    ProcessingInstruction.exit(1);
  });

If we are using hardhat, do we need to add the private key and the http address in deploy.js?

You need to add it as a dependency if this error shows up. Please, once again, create a separate discussion, so everyone with the same problem can solve this problem too!
