trying to deploy my first contract on zksync sepolia tesnet network

[QUEST09]

I keep get this error when I tried to deploy and verify the contract from the Cyfrin course. It keeps saying "solidity verification failed, logs can be read in the terminal log"

here is my code
// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.24;

contract SimpleStorage {
uint256 public myFavoriteNumber;

struct Person {
    uint256 favoriteNumber;
    string name;
}

Person[] public listOfPeople;

mapping(string => uint256) public nameToFavoriteNumber;

function store(uint256 _favoriteNumber) public {
    myFavoriteNumber = _favoriteNumber;
}

function retrieve() public view returns(uint256) {
    return myFavoriteNumber;
}

function addPerson(string memory _name, uint256 _favoriteNumber) public {
    listOfPeople.push(Person(_favoriteNumber, _name));
    nameToFavoriteNumber[_name] = _favoriteNumber;
}

}

Hello @QUEST09, Please create a contracts folder in the default-workspace and put your SimpleStorage file inside of that contracts folder then retry.

okay
i did create that earlier on and the zksync plugin was able to compile it sir.

If you have done everything right and the issue persist, I will say leave it and proceed, as working with zksync isn't really smooth as of now and that is why every zksync content in the course is optional.

okay, thank you so much sir...
can I get your X handle so I can connect with you sir?

Hi @QUEST09,
I encountered the same issue, and here's what worked for me:

I remove all the files that were generated by remix and recreated the contracts file and pasted the code back in the SimpleStorage.sol.
Recompile, then deploy and don't forget to tick the "Verify Contract" box.

Also, i renamed the file from "Contracts" to "contract" with small "c". Maybe it helped or maybe it didn't. But that's just what i did!

Good luck

Awesome. Thanks for the great heads-up.
