Lesson 4: Invalid Syntax Error

[Akshat9999]

Hello Dear,

I hope you and your family are doing well.

Time of video 3:44:37 While deploying the code the following message is shown.

"sources":{"SimpleStorage.sol": {"content": simple_storage_file}}}, ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Thank You

Hello @Akshat9999 We will need more information on this, please give a look to #980 and reformulate. Anyway you may have a extra comma somewhere or a indentation error, but please share the entire code here ;)

Hello @cromewar, Thank you for your response. Here is the entire code as you suggested. I have directly reported the issue here because I didn't know what to do.

from solcx import compile_standard

with open("./SimpleStorage.sol", "r") as file:
    simple_Storage_file = file.read()

#Compile our solidity
compiled_sol = compile_standard({"language":"Solidity",
"sources":{"SimpleStorage.sol":"content": "simple_storage_file"}},
"settings": {"outputSelection":{
"*": {"*":["abi", "metadata", "evm.bytecode", "evm.sourceMap"]}
},},
solc_version="0.6.0",
)

print(compiled_sol)

and here is the output:-

File "C:\Users\sriva\demos\web3_py_simple_storage\deploy.py", line 10 "sources":{"SimpleStorage.sol": {"content": simple_storage_file}} ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

There is no Brownie involved here upto this point.

For me seems to be a formatting error, do you have the auto-format on save option activate?

No I will do it and share the result after that.

Hey Vasiliy, Thank you for such a quick response. I have activated the auto- format on save option and the same error is being displayed. What can be done now?

Sometimes python just freaks out, mostly without reason, just to verify, please delete that part of the code and replace it with this:

# Solidity source code
compiled_sol = compile_standard(
    {
        "language": "Solidity",
        "sources": {"SimpleStorage.sol": {"content": simple_storage_file}},
        "settings": {
            "outputSelection": {
                "*": {
                    "*": ["abi", "metadata", "evm.bytecode", "evm.bytecode.sourceMap"]
                }
            }
        },
    },
    solc_version="0.6.0",
)

Does it works?

No dear it is still showing the same message.
