Hey guys
I was having issues with getting a response to my cloud function and was told to install truffle again and start another ganache and Moralis server. Now Iām getting this error and Iām confused at how this has happened and how to fix it.
Cheers
Try restarting VSCode and close any existing terminals.
Hey
Iāve tried reinstalling everything. Iāve tried renaming files. Iāve tried closing all terminals and restarting VS code and I downloaded a new npm. Iām very lost with this issue.
Cheers
Hey Glad
This might be a newbie thing but Iām getting a error for the it says expected a JSON object, array or literal. Iāve tried a few other ways of writing the DOCTYPE and havenāt got far. Do you know what would fix this?
Cheers
Like 1 should be <!DOCTYPE html>
Hi Qudusayo
Thanks for the quick reply.
Iāve just tried that and nothing has changed. Do you know if there are any other ways of writing this line of code?
Cheers
You can post your code here
Hi Qudusayo
Iāve posted my code below. I wasnt able to paste my entire package.json code but Iām still getting this error.
npm ERR! JSON.parse Unexpected token "<" (0x3C) in JSON at position 0 while parsing near "<!DOCTYPE html>\n<htm..."
npm ERR! JSON.parse Failed to parse JSON data.

Your āpackage.jsonā isnāt correct, that code should be in another .html file. Which part of the tutorial are you following for this?
The rest of your app (index.html, main.js, abi.js) runs normally outside of a few errors e.g. Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'attributes').
Hi Glad
Iām upto part 8 of the tutorial for cloud functions. I couldnāt get a cloud function response in the console like the video had and I was told to try uninstalling everything and reinstalling to see if that fixs it. Iāve done that and everything works again on the app except for my truffle migrate. I keep getting this json error.
My āpackage.jsonā code should be in my html file?
Cheers

This code is not JSON, it is HTML, so it shouldnāt be in a file called package.json (this package.json file is for a different type of project environment and typically not used for one using static .html and .js files). Can you give the timestamp of the video where this is explained? In part 8, I cannot see where this code is meant to come from.
In which folder are you running truffle migrate? It is not related to any of the code you have posted e.g. there is no contract code.
Ok
1 minute into video 6 is where the code truffle init is done and the importing of open zeppelin. Thats how i got the package.json file. I havenāt changed anything in that file yet i just get a error for it.
Iām trying to migrate in the frontend folder.
Cheers
Ok but you canāt use that same package.json with that HTML code. It sounds like you are missing steps. E.g. truffle migrate needs to be run in your Truffle project directory (or where the contracts/migrations folders are).

Where does this code come from in the tutorial (part, timestamp) ?
Yes I might of missed a step and that code was there already once I got the package.json file. I never wrote that piece of code. ill backtrack the videos and see what i missed
Hi Glad
Iāve gone back and Iām installing openzeppelin again which says it works but nothing gets added on under contracts? I was putting npm install @openzeppelin/contracts in the terminal
Iāve fixed the issue
