Forge Scripting Error: 'Could not find target contract

[Bri-3e]

I'm encountering an error while deploying a contract using Forge:
forge script script/DeploySimpleStorage.s.sol: DeploySimpleStorage --rpc-url http://localhost:8545 --account defaultkey --sender 0xf39fd6e51aad88f6f4ce6ab8827279cfffb92266 --broadcast -- --vvvv [⠒] Compiling... No files changed, compilation skipped Error: Could not find target contract

This is my DeploySimpleStorage.s.sol
`// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT

pragma solidity 0.8.18;

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

contract DeploySimpleStorage is Script {
function run() external returns (SimpleStorage) {
vm.startBroadcast();
SimpleStorage simpleStorage = new SimpleStorage();
vm.stopBroadcast();
return simpleStorage;
}
}This is my SimpleStorage.sol// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT

pragma solidity ^0.8.18;

// pragma solidity ^0.8.0;
// pragma solidity >=0.8.0 <0.9.0;

contract SimpleStorage {
uint256 myFavoriteNumber;

struct Person {
    uint256 favoriteNumber;
    string name;
}
// uint256[] public anArray;
Person[] public listOfPeople;

mapping(string => uint256) public nameToFavoriteNumber;

function store(uint256 _favoriteNumber) public virtual {
    myFavoriteNumber = _favoriteNumber;
}

function retrieve() public view returns (uint256) {
    return myFavoriteNumber;
}

function addPerson(string memory _name, uint256 _favoriteNumber) public {
    listOfPeople.push(Person(_favoriteNumber, _name));
    nameToFavoriteNumber[_name] = _favoriteNumber;
}

}`

Ive tried checking the contract name and location and recompilling but the error still persist. Im just getting started so ill really appreciate al the help i can get

Try with this and let me know if it works.

forge script script/DeploySimpleStorage.s.sol:DeploySimpleStorage --rpc-url http://localhost:8545 --account defaultkey --sender 0xf39fd6e51aad88f6f4ce6ab8827279cfffb92266 --broadcast --vvvv

The difference between this and yours is that there is a space between the : and the DeploySimpleStorage in your command and that may cause the issue.

Yeah I thought so too.

Hi @EngrPips.

I tried cleaning forge and building it again with command foundryup too but Foundry doesn't seem to see my folder after I run
the command below.

Anvil runs in a separate terminal.

forge script script/DeploySimpleStorage.s.sol:DeploySimpleStorage --rpc-url http://localhost:8545

Error: No such file or directory (os error 2)

Thank you!

Can you attach your terminal screenshot?
