Unable to hit deploy on NFT challenge 0

[cryptovinci]

Getting the following error when deploying the contract. As a result, cannot continue with most steps on the challenge 0 tutorial. Looking for some guidance. Thanks.

FYI: challenge 1 deployment works fine, might just be an issue with challenge 0

Steps to reproduce:

• downloaded a fresh clone, checked out challenge-0-simple-nft branch
• ran yarn install for dependencies
• ran yarn chain on one terminal to run the local blockchain
• ran yarn start on another terminal for the frontend
• ran yarn deploy to deploy the contract on my local blockchain (while chain is running on port 8545)

Issue:

• seeing the following error: failed to get chainId, falling back on net_version... Error HH108: Cannot connect to the network localhost.

Tried:

• fresh clone of repo
• Jason's TG suggestion: commenting out line 8 const chainId = await getChainId(); in 00_deploy_your_contract.js
