Problem in L5 deploy.js deploy contract not printing contract details like in the video

[Nicholas328]

Hi there,
Im having issue after contractFactory.deploy then printing the contract. It is just showing me this rather than the json contract

~/hh-fcc/ethers-simple-storage-fcc$ node deploy.js 
Deploying contract, please wait...
[AsyncFunction: deploy]

Here is my code:

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

async function main() {
  //  compile contracts in our code
  //  compile contracts seprately

  const provider = new _ethers.JsonRpcProvider("http://0.0.0.0:7545");
  const wallet = new _ethers.Wallet(
    "0x1914ccbf74ea5406db1321e0650b7a9419f699ab1d9adeaa8e8b7aebdb6a005c",
    provider
  );

  const abi = _fs.readFileSync("./SimpleStorage_sol_SimpleStorage.abi", "utf8");
  const bin = _fs.readFileSync("./SimpleStorage_sol_SimpleStorage.bin", "utf8");

  const contractFactory = new _ethers.ContractFactory(abi, bin, wallet);
  console.log("Deploying contract, please wait...");

  const contract = await contractFactory.deploy;
  console.log(contract);
}

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

The connection to Ganache is available, not sure why this is happening, please help!

Seems like for some reason the version of solidity you're using is causing issues... change the solidity version in your SimpleStorage.sol to

solidity 0.8.19;

and then go ahead and upgrade the solidity compiler in your terminal by running

npm install --save-dev solc@0.8.19

and then finally you want to go ahead delete both the SimpleStorage abi and bin files, making sure to recompile with

npx solcjs --bin --abi --include-path node_modules/ --base-path . -o . SimpleStorage.sol

Should be good after that! Let me know if that works for you...

Alright man It's going to take a while for me to get to my setup I'd check and text you back

just be sure to delete the abi and binary first before compiling.Alright luck!
