Web3 No provider set error

0 votes

Here's a part of the code:

const Web3 = require('web3');

let web3 = new Web3('http://localhost:8545');

let MyContract = new web3.eth.Contract(abi);

let accounts = await web3.eth.getAccounts();
let contract = await MyContract.deploy({data: code})
  .send({from: accounts[0], gas: 1000000});

contract.events.MyEvent((error, result) => {
  if (error) {
    return console.error(error);
  }
}

When I run the code, I get the following error:

Error: No provider set.
    at Subscription.subscribe (/node_modules/web3-core-subscriptions/src/subscription.js:199:20)
    at Contract._on (/node_modules/web3-eth-contract/src/index.js:634:18)

How can I solve this?

To solve this error, you need to pass in an HttpProvider when creating Web3. Change

let web3 = new Web3('http://localhost:8545');

to

let web3 = new Web3(new Web3.providers.HttpProvider('http://localhost:8545'));

or, set the provider after creating Web3:

const web3 = new Web3();

web3.setProvider(new web3.providers.HttpProvider('http://localhost:8545'));

This should work
