Different kind of Errors like "MISSING CONSTRUCTOR ARGUMENT", "ABI IS NOT ITERABLE", ETC when i try to deploy

[Benrockiee]

When i try to deploy this contract on Rinkeby testnet, with command

yarn hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network rinkeby

i get This Error:

This is My REPO:

Problem is here: const votingFactory = await ethers.getContractFactory()

instead ethers there should be a contract, for example: const votingFactory = await Admin123Contract.getContractFactory()

Hope this helps.

[krakxn]

Show the updated code

[Benrockiee]

@krakxn

const { ethers } = require("hardhat")
async function main() {
  const votingFactory = await ethers.getContractFactory("voting")
  console.log("deploying, please wait....")
  const voting = await votingFactory.deploy()
  await voting.deployed()
  console.log(`contract deployed to :${voting.address}`)
}

main().catch((error) => {
  console.error(error)
  process.exitCode = 1
})

@Benrockiee Because your main contract's constructor has a bytes32[] memory proposalNames -- either remove it or include it as an argument.

This is solved now.

This was the first thing i did but didnt work.. But thanks bro

[Benrockiee]

@krakxn.. It actually deployed cos i had to look for a way to convert bytes32 to hex.. but now this other error reads from "await voting.deployed()".. Saying "TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'deployed')"
