Lesson 5: Compiling SimpleStorage.sol with brownie

[Rogelio1997]

When I compile SimpleStorage.sol I get a "Project has been compiled" message but the SimpleStorage.json doesn't appear. I tried to continue with the course but later when running the script deploy.py I get "ImportError: cannot import name 'SimpleStorage' from 'brownie', How can I solve this?

I know someone had the same problem in "#185" but I am not using a virtual environment so I am not sure how I should proceed.

Hello @Rogelio1997 using virtual envs is the best option to manage python projects, you can install virtualenv trough pip.
Also installing brownie with pipx is not recommended for linux users.
If you want a more straight forward guide about how to configure tour windows machine to work with web3, please refer to the course index apart "windows support":

It works now using venv, thanks

That other answer seems unnecessary.
For me, the answer was to use the compiled contract file from Browniefolder>Build>Contracts>FileName.json instead of the .sol file name.
