Lesson 4 The part where you compile

[slime956]

I have a question , i started compiling codes from github and that's the only way i was able to surpass the error of compiled_code.json , ever since i copied and pasted the code, it doesnt give me the error anymore

however

i try to print(abi) and it says

INFO: Could jnot find files for the given patttern(s).
it gives me all the data

                                                            "uint256",
                                "name": "_favoriteNumber",
                                "type": "uint256"
                            }

                        "type": "function"
                    }
                ]

it gives me all this and i dont understand why i cant get all the data they way patrick had deployed it and it instantly gave all the data in the terminal.

Hello @slime956 this is because how you are managing the info, the ABI data is transformed to a JSON file on compiling, so it's important to know where exactly is the print statement, could you share it please?

this is the way i have it

Yeah this is Ok, you vscode is printing the abi formatted meanwhile Patricks is printed as a single string, check your vscode settings you may find which formatter you are using., anyways this is not an error.
