Unable to mint ERC20 token

:computer: Environment

REMIX

:memo:Details

As a test code I deployed following code on remix. but the contract shows no name tag. Also I’m unable to mint any token.

I think you should deploy the contract named TEST2, and then call addMinter to set a miner, then use the miner account to mint.

thank you for response, I tried to mint using 1clickdapp , but it didn’t work. can you provide me info how to call the minter function? can I do it using 1clickdapp? i can’t find any option on remix to call the function

Hi @Arman_khan,

You can deploy your contract using Remix and interact with it using Remix.
As @Skyge said (:pray:), you call addMinter to add an account as a minter (I used the same account that deployed the contract). You can then call mint.

As there doesn’t appear to be much unique functionality with this token, I suggest trying the following tutorial (there are screen shots to help):

You could also look at the following:

Hi @abcoathup

I followed the https://wizard.openzeppelin.com/ to build a mintable contract. It is deployed well. All things work fine. Except when I check the balanceOf or totalSupply after mint(address, amount), it still shows zero.
Is there a need to update totalsupply after mint or into function _mint() ?
