How not to expose the code when we upgrade the contract

Describe your question in detail.

Hi,
I have a contract which was published via resource account and not to expose the code. The contract is an upgradable contract.

aptos move create-resource-account-and-publish-package --seed 1234 --address-name abc --named-addresses source_addr=12347d47a9b0ac564856168b68f5f06408cc5f1c691yur5366c3ab116d76rsdf --included-artifacts none --profile admin

included-artifacts none ensures the code does not get exposed.

But when I upgrade using the following command, it gets exposed.
aptos move build-publish-payload --json-output-file upgrade.json --named-addresses source_addr=12347d47a9b0ac564856168b68f5f06408cc5f1c691yur5366c3ab116d76rsdf

Then edited the function to match the update function defined in the contract.

How do I call the upgrade function without exposing the code?
Thank you.

you should be able to include the --included-artifacts none option in the aptos move build-publish-payload command. Like this

aptos move build-publish-payload 
--json-output-file upgrade.json 
--named-addresses source_addr=12347d47a9b0ac564856168b68f5f06408cc5f1c691yur5366c3ab116d76rsdf 
--included-artifacts none

This way, you won’t expose your code on-chain during the upgrade.

--included-artifacts none is not a option in build-publish-payload

It should be, what's your CLI version? You may need to upgrade it https://aptos.dev/en/build/cli
