I read the solc document and followed the instruction.
When I am using [email protected] version, compile command is working fine

solc.compile(smartContractPath, 1);

When I switched to [email protected] version, compile command throwing error

(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { var Module;if(!Module)Module=(typeof Module!=="undefined"?Module:null)||{};var moduleOverrides={};for(var key in Module){if(Module.hasOwnProperty(key)){moduleOverrides[key]=Module[key]}}var ENVIRONMENT_IS_WEB=typeof window==="object";var ENVIRONMENT_IS_WORKER=typeof importScripts==="function";var ENVIRONMENT_IS_NODE=typeof process==="object"&&typeof require==="function"&&!ENVIRONMENT_IS_WEB&&!ENVIRONMENT_IS_WORKER;var ENVIRONMENT_IS_SHELL=!ENVIRONMENT_IS_WEB&&!ENVIRONMENT_IS_NODE&&!ENVIRONMENT_IS_WORKER;if(ENVIRONMENT_IS_NODE){if(!Module["print"])Module["print"]=function print(x){process["stdout"].write(x+"\n")};if(!Module["printErr"])Module["printErr"]=function printErr(x){process["stderr"].write(x+"\n")};var nodeFS=require("fs");var nodePath=require("path");Module["read"]=function read(filename,binary){filename=nodePath"normalize";var ret=nodeFS"readFileSync";i

AssertionError [ERR_ASSERTION]: Invalid callback specified.

In the solc documentation it is not mentioned about the changes in compile command.
Please tell how to use .compile function in [email protected] version.

  • Further down the documentation states: Starting from version 0.5.0, compile, compileStandard and compileStandardWrapper all do the same thing - what compileStandardWrapper used to do. There's some help how to use the new syntax here stackoverflow.com/a/49709550.

  • Yes, and below that it is also mentioned that compileStandard and compileStandardWrapper will be deprecated. Then only compile is remained there. In the error: it is giving error of invalid callback specified. May be in 0.5 callback is introduced in compile function but it is not mentioned in document Nov 30, 2018 at 5:41
  • compile in v0.5 expect a json string and output a json string. The format of the input is in solidity documentation. In the stackoverflow answer is the input equivalent to v0.4.xx behavior.

At first, I also tried your method to compile and got the same error.
Finaly, I found a workable method in the official doc.

I tried it with [email protected]. It's OK.

let contractSource = fs.readFileSync(contractPath, 'utf-8');
//console.log("contract content: \n" + contractSource);

let jsonContractSource = JSON.stringify({
    language: 'Solidity',
    sources: {
      'Task': {
          content: contractSource,
       },
    },
    settings: { 
        outputSelection: {
            '*': {
                '*': ['abi',"evm.bytecode"],   
             // here point out the output of the compiled result
            },
        },
    },
});

let solcResult = solc.compile(jsonContractSource);  

You can see the output format of the compile in this link.
