Hey guys , I am getting this error during compilation of solidity contract

 yarn solcjs --bin --abi --include-path node_modules/ --base-path . -o . simplestorage.sol
yarn run v1.22.15
warning ../../package.json: No license field
$ /Users/cardinal/Documents/Freecodecamp-Blockchain/node_modules/.bin/solcjs --bin --abi --include-path node_modules/ --base-path . -o . simplestorage.sol
Error reading simplestorage.sol: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'simplestorage.sol'
error Command failed with exit code 1.

This below is my package.json file

{
  "name": "blockchain",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "deploy.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "solc": "^0.8.17"
  }
}

Thank you

Hey @cardinalsama make sure you are using the correct name for your contract file. Is you contract file saved as simplestorage.sol (inclusive of capitalization)? If there is any slight difference make sure you include it in the command you are running.

No , there are no spelling mistake on my part on the name of the simplestorage.sol file . A little update , updated my package.json file with help from discord

{
  "name": "hardhat-simple-storage",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "license": "MIT",
  "devDependencies": {
    "@nomiclabs/hardhat-ethers": "^2.0.0",
    "@nomiclabs/hardhat-etherscan": "^3.0.4",
    "@nomiclabs/hardhat-waffle": "^2.0.0",
    "chai": "^4.2.0",
    "dotenv": "^16.0.1",
    "ethereum-waffle": "^3.0.0",
    "ethers": "^5.0.0",
    "hardhat": "^2.9.7",
    "hardhat-gas-reporter": "^1.0.8",
    "solidity-coverage": "^0.7.21"
  },
  "dependencies": {

    "solc": "^0.8.17"
  }
}

still this error is prevalant

Error reading simplestorage.sol: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'simplestorage.sol'

My file structure

Hey @cardinalsama there is indeed a typo in your filename. You have named your file simplstorage.sol while you are using simplestorage.sol in your command (notice the missing e). Make that change accordingly. Use simplstorage.sol when running the command or better yet, rename your solidity file as simplestorage.sol to avoid future confusion.
