Issues Using a Script to Deploy the smart contract

[Fran6ix-coder]

i am currently trying to use the DeploySimpleStorage.sol Script to deploy my smart contract but i keep getting an error that "Member "stopbroadcast" not found or not visible after argument-dependent lookup in contract Vm." and i checked the vm.sol and the stopbroadcast wasn't there and now i am confused on what to do and how to add it

for references this is the code

// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT

pragma solidity ^0.8.19;

import {Script} from "lib/forge-std/src/Script.sol";
import {SimpleStorage} from "../src/SImpleStorage.sol/SimpleStorage.sol";

contract DeploySimpleStorage is Script {
    function run() external returns (SimpleStorage) {
        vm.startBroadcast();
        SimpleStorage simpleStorage = new SimpleStorage();
        vm.stopBroadcast();
        return simpleStorage;
    }
}

and this is the error: Member "stopbroadcast" not found or not visible after argument-dependent lookup in contract Vm.

Hello @Fran6ix-coder, Please run forge clean, then delete the cache folder if you have any, and then run foundryup and then retry the deployment process. If the problem persist then we will know what to look into next

hey @EngrPips it worked, that's so cool
but what was the error and how did doing this help?
also i am just starting out in solidity and really don't have a clue of what I'm doing maybe if i can get a roadmap from you that would help a lot

It was just an issue with Foundry caching, You had initially run the process when you haven't correctly set up everything, and it saves information about the process and then uses that information whenever you run a similar process, so instead of Foundry to rebuild everything and run your process it is basically using old information which causes that issue so when you did all I said above Foundry start the process afresh and doing so things works as expected. The Cyfrin Updraft platform is structured in a roadmap form, After solidity basics, there is Foundry Fundamentals, I think and after that, there is Advanced Foundry, and after that, there is Security & Auditing, and after that, there is Assembly & Formal Verification. All of those content is sufficient as a roadmap for now.
