I am trying to use the cargo +nightly-2022-08-15 contract build command on a cargo contract new ___, but am experiencing the error below.

Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.15s
 [2/5] Building cargo project
ERROR: No path specified, and the default `src/main.rs` was not found

The cargo +nightly-2022-08-15 contract test was executed successfully.

Can someone please help me understand why I'm seeing this error with a possible workaround please? I guess another way to phrase my question is, where exactly from the root directory does the build command expect there to be a an "src/main.rs"?

    Could you share your directory structure, and where you are building from? Also, double check if there is a parent directory with a Cargo.toml as outlined here: stackoverflow.com/questions/61134990/…

  • @PeterWhite resolved. My contract was nested in a parent containing a separate Cargo.toml file. All I did was move the contract folder out. Thank you very much.
