Contract.deploy() only properly executing on seemingly random occasion

[eemebarbe]

When running a test via npx hardhat test, The deploy() method fails a majority of the time. If I continue to execute the test many times over, it will successfully execute on occasion. Not sure what I could be missing here. Running ethers 5.6.2, hardhat 2.9.2, and node v16. Using local hardhat node.

const { expect } = require("chai")
const { ethers } = require("hardhat")

describe("Deadline", async () => {
const Deadline = await ethers.getContractFactory("Deadline")
const deadline = await Deadline.deploy()
})

Can you mention what is the error? Also what logic do you have in the constructor?

I think you're probably running into this issue: It's possible that the gasLimit calculated using estimateGas, is not enough when the execution happens again due to some logic in the constructor. Due to which the deployment fails randomly.

No error is printed in the terminal, it simply states that the test did not pass.

Which constructor are you referring to?

From the snippet you've shared, it seems you are deploying Deadline contract. So the constructor() in your Deadline contract is run, I was pointing to that.

That's weird it should give some info for example "out of gas". Is it possible to post the output here?

My contract does not have a constructor. The only output I get when running the test is "0 passing (0ms)".
