Lesson 4 Challenge #1610
-
|
I'm around 4 hours in the python course and I keep getting these "Could not find files for the given pattern(s)." which I searched up and said it doesn't mean anything is wrong but I also get a Traceback call every time I run my deploy.py script. It shows a bunch of directories in my files and I really don't want these things to pop in every time I run, I just want to see the printed statements(I'm on windows if this does anything). Does anyone have a solution or am I just messing up the code?

Not really. I have no idea how to setup a virtual env or if it will help. I don't have a ton of experience with python. I don't know if the Javascript version of this course is more updated for these version mismatches, but for now I will just skip over my errors and keep learning through the course. Thanks though, and I will look into what is a virtual env in the future. |

Actually this errors are more related with windows itself than the packages... let's just say windows is a mess managing all this libraries that's why I always recommend using WSL. |

Okay I see how to install WSL now from the beginning of the course in github, do you recommend that I setup this WSL before installing any web3.py, pip3, and other packages on my computer? Is it best if I delete everything and install WSL after downloading VScode but before installing any packages? |

WSL is and isolated operating system inside windows so you can have both instances with separated libraries. So re-installing everything in WSL should not affect your windows install. |

Hello @Brandoneos
As you know
Could not find files for the given pattern(s).is no an error, however the rest of the log you are receiving is not related to this, you are getting the cytools error, the solution is here: https://medium.com/@cromewar/the-mighty-cytools-error-at-web3-smart-contract-development-with-brownie-63335d50f230Cheers.
