TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'ReadFileSync')

const { ethers } = require("ethers");
const { fs } = require("fs-extra");
require("dotenv").config();

async function main() {
const provider = new ethers.providers.JsonRpcProvider(process.env.RPC_URL);

const encryptedJson = fs.readFileSync("./.encryptedKey.json", "utf8");

let wallet = new ethers.Wallet.fromEncryptedJsonSync(
encryptedJson,
process.env.PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD
);

wallet = await wallet.connect(provider);

const abi = readFileSync(
"./hh-fcc/ethers-simple-storage_SimpleStorage_sol_SimpleStorage.abi",
"utf8"
);
const binary = readFileSync(
"./hh-fcc/ethers-simple-storage_SimpleStorage_sol_SimpleStorage.bin",
"utf8"
);
const contractFactory = new ethers.ContractFactory(abi, binary, wallet);
console.log("Deploying, please wait...");
const contract = await contractFactory.deploy();
await contract.deployTransaction.wait(1);

const currentFavoriteNumber = await contract.retrieve();
console.log(Current Favorite Number: ${currentFavoriteNumber.toString()});
const transactionResponse = await contract.store("7");
const transactionReceipt = await transactionResponse.wait(1);
const updatedFavoriteNumber = await contract.retrieve();
console.log(Updated favorite number is: ${updatedFavoriteNumber});
}

main() // code for waiting the above code to finish
.then(() => process.exit(0)) //and then print any errors
.catch((error) => {
console.error(error);
process.exit(1);
});

For this code I'm getting an error: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'readFileSync')

right now Im going to tag @PatrickAlphaC
there is a rise in this particular error and seems no one has been able to overcome this challenge

Hi all, sorry, this repo is no longer maintained. I recommend trying out Cyfrin Updraft.

There are a lot of stale chunks of code in this course now, and we've found keeping content fresh is MUCH easier on Cyfrin Updraft.

Thank you so much @PatrickAlphaC
