I get this error every time I try to create a token using the developers tutorial. I can't find a solution online.

I can deploy the contract fine in the step previously:

Caseys-MBP:eosio.token casey$ cleos set contract eosio.token /Users/casey/contracts/eosio.contracts/eosio.token --abi eosio.token.abi -p eosio.token@active

Answer 1

from the issues page of eosio.contracts says that the file named eosio.token.abi is wrong, maybe bad code of eosio.cdt.

So, download the correct file, which you can found from the post, or just click here and overlay the file named eosio.token.abi generated by eoscpp in the eosio.contract/eosio.token/ and re-excute cleos set contract ....

Have fun!

Answer 2

You need to define account and currency_stats in the structs part of your abi.

See https://developers.eos.io/eosio-home/docs/the-abi#section-explicit-structs for details and https://developers.eos.io/eosio-home/docs/the-abi#section-putting-it-all-together for a full abi of token contract.
