What seems to be the problem here? Am I doing something wrong? I'm using i3 4.15 on ubuntu 16.04.

I managed to fix those errors, and it works when I run it from terminal but I can't make it hide/un-hide or make it work from shortcuts.

What am I doing wrong? This is what I have in ~/.config/i3/config:

bindsym $mod+t exec i3-quickterm

Both the i3-quickterm and i3-quickterm.json are in the same folder (~/.config/i3/)..

EDIT: Solved. Full path works.

Good that you resolved your issue. From your description it sounds like a PATH inconsistency issue: PATH modified in your shell's config (e.g: .bashrc) which would be sourced in your shell and not when i3 was run.

It's usually best to set these variables in .profile, .xprofile or similar, depending on how X is launched.
