Body

I have currently been working on a small project using Visual Studio Code with truffle. I have tried everything to troubleshoot but I keep running into the following message when going running "truffle migrate --network base" it shows "Error: You must specify a network_id in your 'base' configuration in order to use this network."

I have tried to running visual studio on a new computer with a clean slate and I still get the same error. I have verified the network RPC URL as well as the network ID. I just don't understand why this error keeps coming up. Besides from that error everything complies as should correctly. I would appreciate any help on the matter thank you!

`require('dotenv').config();
const HDWalletProvider = require('@truffle/hdwallet-provider');

const privateKey = process.env.PRIVATE_KEY;

module.exports = {
networks: {
base: {
provider: () => new HDWalletProvider({
privateKeys: [privateKey], // Array of account private keys
providerOrUrl: 'https://mainnet.base.org'
}),
network_id: 8453,
gas: 5500000,
confirmations: 2,
timeoutBlocks: 200,
skipDryRun: true //
},
},`
