[Help] Replacing "await" with "then"

[SSantiago90]

Hi everyone!

I'm on lesson 6, and playing around I tried to replace an "await" call with a .then method... but it doesn't work as (at least I) expected.

Working code with await👇

async function main() {
	const SimpleStorageFactory = await ethers.getContractFactory('SimpleStorage')

	console.log('Deploying . . .')
	SimpleStorageFactory.deploy().then(
    simpleStorageContract => simpleStorageContract.then(
      deployed=> console.log('Deployed contract:', deployed)
      )    
  )
}

refactoring using .then (only "deploying" console.log shows up in the console)🛑

async function main() {
	const SimpleStorageFactory = await ethers.getContractFactory('SimpleStorage')

	console.log('Deploying . . .')
	SimpleStorageFactory.deploy().then(
    simpleStorageContract => {
      return simpleStorageContract.then(
        deployed=> console.log('Deployed contract:', deployed)
      )
    }
  )
}

It's not a big of a deal, I could just leave it as is using "await", but I'd like to know if I'm doing something wrong. Maybe it's because I'm using a .then chainned method inside an Async function? It's a javascript related issue or it has something to do with Hardhat?

Even if I do something like this without nesting promises, I get not message in the console

async function main() {
	const SimpleStorageFactory = await ethers.getContractFactory('SimpleStorage')

	console.log('Deploying . . .')
	SimpleStorageFactory.deploy().then(() => console.log('Deployed contract'))
}
