could not detect network while running deploy.js

[SamuelOsewa]

const provider = new ethers.providers.JsonRpcProvider(
    "http:///172.31.112.1:7545"

the RPC URL here is the one from wsl server on ganache as shown in the picture

Error:

I've already installed ganache on wsl

You have 3 '/' here.

Damn I changed that but for some reason It's just stuck at the console.log("Deploying") :(

[SamuelOsewa]

Still have the same issues
Could it be internet-related?

[Equious]

Try manually updating your network ID and port here to match mine. .. I remember having to change these once upon a time when I was doing web3.py.

Hello @SamuelOsewa
Did @Equious solution worked?
Change the network ID to 1337.

[SamuelOsewa]

Just about to try it now
Are you having the same issue?

[SamuelOsewa]

Didn't work
I'm still having the same issue

[SamuelOsewa]

At this point, I might just leave the course as nothing seems to be working
And I can't find anything similar on google

[Equious]

This definitely ain't the answer.

[cromewar]

@PatrickAlphaC a hand here please?

[thejojochen]

Try adding to package.json scripts the following: "ganache": "ganache --wallet.seed myCustomSeed"

Then run $ npm run ganache

[tomasignacioc]

This definitely ain't the answer.

exactly !!

Good morning
So I was a bit overwhelmed yesterday with the deploying not working and it seems like all I needed was a good night's sleep to reset and think about the error from another angle. I opened the ubuntu app outside vs code and I tried installing ganache on there to see if it would work using

$ git clone https://github.com/trufflesuite/ganache.git
$ cd ganache
$ npm install
$ npm start

But that just kept giving me errors when I got to the npm install part so I decided to try out installing the ganache cli which didn't work when I tried using it yesterday on the VS code terminal and it worked

To install ganache-cli on your terminal you need to run npm install -g ganache-cli in your ubuntu terminal outside the IDE.
Thanks to @Equious @cromewar @thejojochen for their suggestions.

hi @SamuelOsewa , I just tried to install the cli

But it didn't work. Any idea how to go about this?

[PatrickAlphaC]

Try installing it like here did:

$ git clone https://github.com/trufflesuite/ganache.git
$ cd ganache
$ npm install
$ npm start

[PatrickAlphaC]

And you'd need to install ganache and not ganache-cli

Thank you @PatrickAlphaC . Really appreciate this. I was able to solve the issue with almost a toggle switch following this - #34 (reply in thread). I didn't have to do anything on the command line. After tweaking the settings, the code run seamlessly as in the video.

[PatrickAlphaC]

Perfect!

Thank you for your help! I tried a lot of things and it still didn't work until I saw your solution to solve the problem
