I have faced the above error when I am trying to compile a simple solidity contract.I am also providing the link of the code that I have written for compiling the contract.

Answer 1

The problem is with the second parameter of solc.compile here:

console.log(solc.compile(source,1));

The second parameter should be a function or should be omitted. If your smart contract source file does not import other source files, try removing the second parameter like this:

console.log(solc.compile(source));

See documentation for details.
