Unable to deploy contract on beta-2 testnet

[h3lio5]

I’m following the Developer Quickstart tutorial in the Fuel Book and tried to deploy the Counter contract. I followed all the steps – create wallet, request ETH from faucet – but when I try to deploy using the command forc deploy --node-url https://node-beta-2.fuel.network/graphql --gas-price 1 and paste my address I’d use for signing, I get the error Error: Provider error: Response errors; Unknown field "status" on type "Message".

My terminal output:

❯ forc deploy --node-url node-beta-2.fuel.network/graphql --gas-price 1

I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

It looks like you don’t have the beta-2 toolchain set as your default. You can check your default toolchain with fuelup show.

Thanks it worked!

Just to summarize for anyone who gets stuck with the same issue, run the below commands to install the beta-2 toolchain (if not already installed) and set it to be the default –
fuelup toolchain install beta-2
fuelup default beta-2
