This PR updates the
deploy.js
script to be compatible with the latest version of ethers.js (v6).Problem:
When attempting to deploy our
HelloWorld
contract usingnpx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network sepolia
, the script throws the following error:Solution
The
deploy.js
script was using deprecated methods from older versions of ethers.js. This update addresses these issues by migrating to the new API introduced in v6. Specifically:ContractFactory.deploy()
now directly returns the deployed contract instance. ThedeployTransaction
property is no longer available.provider.waitForTransaction(txHash)
withcontract.waitForDeployment()
, which is the recommended way to wait for deployment confirmation in ethers v6.txReceipt.contractAddress
withcontract.getAddress()
, a new method to get the deployed contract address..hash
directly as it is not needed anymore.const { ethers } = require("hardhat");
to make sure that hardhat is correctly imported.These changes ensure that the script functions correctly with the updated library and avoids potential errors.
