error running yarn hardhat run scripts/deploy.js lesson 6

[daalmana]

Hi All!

I am running into trouble when i tried the command: yarn hardhat run scripts/deploy.js in lesson 6 "Hardhat Simple Storage"
I am getting this error:

error Command failed with exit code 1.
info Visit https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/run for documentation about this command.

If i run npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js (npx instead of yarn) all works fine!
Does someone have an idea??
thanks!

Are you running the command literally how you showed it? If so, your slash character is different in the first and second example (one is a forward slash /, the other is a backslash \):

yarn hardhat run scripts\deploy.js
npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js

@javierdash but it isn't solved yet! Do you have an idea?
Thanks

ok! could you paste your script from "deploy.js"?
and also print yarn --version ?

I will, but I am not behind my pc right now...
Maybe a silly question, when I have the answer how can I close the discussion as solved? I'll dive deeper into this but I am on my iPhone at the moment! Thanks for your comments and help so far!

sure. When someone answers you, you will see "1 suggested answer" and underneath it says "Mark as answer".

Hi! You can check this points: - Have you download from the terminal: yarn add dotenv - At the beginning of hardhat.config.js did you import this: require(”dotenv”).config(); - Do you have another file call .env. - Inside should be: PRIVATE_KEY= 123456789 - That .env file is in the same "area" that the others files (if you have a doubt please show us all the files you have listed) El jue, 9 jun 2022 a las 7:47, AjayAsnani ***@***.***>) escribió:
