unable to verify contract.

[dark001111]

My contract does not automatically verify like yours does. When I try the token = DamnValuableToken.deploy({"from": deployer},publish_source=True) method, the contract deploys but then throws this error and doesn't verify, not allowing me to go further;

File "", line 1, in
File "brownie/network/contract.py", line 549, in call
return tx["from"].deploy(
File "brownie/network/account.py", line 557, in deploy
contract.publish_source(deployed_contract, silent=silent)
File "brownie/network/contract.py", line 351, in publish_source
raise ValueError(
ValueError: An API token is required to verify contract source code. Visit https://etherscan.io/ to obtain a token, and then store it as the environment variable $ETHERSCAN_TOKEN

I added my etherscan api to the .env and I keep getting the same issues. I see you didn't have to add one, but my infura does not work to verify it for me. I recently switched to linux/ubuntu and it has been a huge pain in the ass so far. I've spent out 4 hours on this today, as I hate asking for help
