Verification of contract using Brownie

Question

I'm at the point of a solidity course where I need to get the API key token from etherscan.io.

I followed all the steps, but my code breaks when I use Brownies deploy function with "publish_source".

fund_me = FundMe.deploy({"from": account}, publish_source=True)

and this is the error I get:

Transaction sent: 0xebb78b3dadcaac375f552f1352a32ec435f90ef75a02b10e6ced88133d53bf16

    return_value = f_locals[method_name](*args, **kwargs)
  File "./scripts/deploy.py", line 12, in main
    deploy_fund_me()
  File "./scripts/deploy.py", line 7, in deploy_fund_me
    fund_me = FundMe.deploy({"from": account}, publish_source=True)

    return tx["from"].deploy(

    contract.publish_source(deployed_contract, silent=silent)

    data = response.json()
  File "requests/models.py", line 975, in json
    raise RequestsJSONDecodeError(e.msg, e.doc, e.pos)
JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 2 column 1 (char 1)

I saw somewhere online that they said perhaps because I'm passing an empty variable, I've got the api key token in my .env file. I tried with wrap it in single quotes, double quotes and no quotes, still nothing. I tried to F12 to go to source but it said "no definition found for publish_source"

Here is the full deploy code:

And I'm running in command line:

brownie run scripts/deploy.py --network sepolia

I tried googling for a solution but I couldn't find anything helpful.

If anyone has any advice or suggestions, I'd be super grateful! Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

Try checking if you are using the correct explorer URL for Sepolia.

brownie networks add Ethereum sepolia host=https://sepolia.infura.io/v3/$WEB3_INFURA_PROJECT_ID chainid=11155111 explorer=https://sepolia.etherscan.io/

Answer 2

A few things to double check to make sure its working correctly:

1. Run brownie compile to ensure most recent contract is compiled
2. Ensure environment variable in .env file is named ETHERSCAN_TOKEN
3. Make sure brownie is updated. Run pip install eth-brownie -U

When you've set this up correctly and run brownie run deploy.py, you'll see this message in the terminal.

Waiting for https://api-sepolia.etherscan.io/api to process contract...

Answer 3

Este es un error de actualizacion de brownie referente a los endpoints. Debes verificar que el atributo explorer de la red este correctamente seteado La url actual es https://api-sepolia.etherscan.io/api.

├─Sepolia (Infura)
  │ ├─id: sepolia
  │ ├─chainid: 11155111
  │ ├─explorer: https://api-sepolia.etherscan.io/
  │ ├─host: https://sepolia.infura.io/v3/$WEB3_INFURA_PROJECT_ID
  │ └─provider: infura

Usa el comando brownie networks modify sepolia explorer=https://api-sepolia.etherscan.io/api

SUCCESS: Network 'Sepolia (Infura)' has been modified
  └─Sepolia (Infura)
    ├─id: sepolia
    ├─chainid: 11155111
    ├─explorer: https://api-sepolia.etherscan.io/api
    ├─host: https://sepolia.infura.io/v3/$WEB3_INFURA_PROJECT_ID
    └─provider: infura

Answer 4

In my case using this commmand worked

brownie networks modify sepolia explorer=https://api-sepolia.etherscan.io/api
