I am trying the get started guide but I get stuck in the hello world smart contract. Here is the console log.
root@d75d5dde1190:/home/savvas/EOS/contracts/hello# ls
hello.abi hello.cpp hello.wasm hello.wast hello.wast.abi
root@d75d5dde1190:/home/savvas/EOS/contracts# cleos set contract /home/savvas/EOS/contracts/hello --abi hello.abi -p hello@active
Error 3160000: Contract exception
Error Details:
contract-dir is null
Any thoughts?
OK seems that the problem is that I didn't provide contract name. Changing the command to
cleos set contract hello /home/savvas/EOS/contracts/hello --abi hello.abi -p hello@active solved the problem. Thanks.
hello after set contract is the account name which has been created to dedicate the contract. Usually practice is to keep the name of such accounts same as contract name.
