Error: Invalid configuration: No canisters in the configuration file.

[Barbudo7]

After running dfx deploy day_1

getting the error:
Creating a wallet canister on the local network.
The wallet canister on the "local" network for user "default" is "rwlgt-iiaaa-aaaaa-aaaaa-cai"
Error: Invalid configuration: No canisters in the configuration file.

I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong. I've followed the github video submission vid step by step but might have missed something else done earlier.
Any help appreciated.

Thank you.

Make sure you created and saved the dfx.json file. Could be related to this discussion: https://github.com/motoko-bootcamp/bootcamp/discussions/21

All files are saved. I opened a new terminal ran dfx deploy day_1 and now receiving

"Error: Invalid configuration: No canisters in the configuration file."

I feel like i'm missing something super basic.

can you type cat dfx.json and paste your result here?

"Canisters": {
"day_1": {

You have to lowercase Canisters

[professionalGithub99]

Oh hey, in case any new people are reading this in a video chat we discovered the answer was some convolution in the .dfx folder. What we did was just rm -rf .dfx and did dfx deploy to recreate it.

Thanks a lot @professionalGithub99 . up and running now with everything.
