log doesn't print anything

[Nlferu]

Hello everyone,

I have encountered strange bug? Below I'm showing you my deploy code for 2 contracts. Problem is that for first contract console is printing functions log() and for second deploy contract code log() doesnt work at all. If I use console.log all data is printed to console but with log() it is not working as it is for 1st code and I do not know why is that and how to fix it.

Printing is working for below:
File name: 01-deploy-abstract-nft.js

const { network } = require("hardhat")
const { verify } = require("../utils/verify")
const { developmentChains } = require("../helper-hardhat-config")

module.exports = async ({ getNamedAccounts, deployments }) => {
    const { deploy, log } = deployments
    const { deployer } = await getNamedAccounts()

    log("----------------------------------------------------")
    arguments = []
    const abstractImpulseNFT = await deploy("AbstractImpulseNFT", {
        from: deployer,
        args: arguments,
        log: true,
        waitConfirmations: network.config.blockConfirmations || 1,
    })

    // Verify Contract
    if (!developmentChains.includes(network.name) && process.env.ETHERSCAN_API_KEY) {
        log("Verifying...")
        await verify(abstractImpulseNFT.address, arguments)
    }
}

module.exports.tags = ["all", "MaliciousContract", "AbstractImpulseNFT"]

Printing is not working for this one, except console.log()
File name: 99-deploy-malicious.js

const { network, ethers } = require("hardhat")

module.exports = async ({ getNamedAccounts, deployments }) => {
    const { deploy, log } = deployments
    const { user } = await getNamedAccounts()

    await deployments.fixture(["AbstractImpulseNFT"])
    const abstractImpulseNFT = await ethers.getContract("AbstractImpulseNFT")
    const abstractImpulseNFTAddress = abstractImpulseNFT.address
    log(abstractImpulseNFTAddress)

    log("----------------------------------------------------") // print isn't working
    arguments = [abstractImpulseNFTAddress]
    const maliciousContract = await deploy("MaliciousContract", {
        from: user,
        args: arguments,
        log: true, // this isnt working also as it using `log()`
        waitConfirmations: network.config.blockConfirmations || 1,
    })
    console.log(`MalCo: ${maliciousContract.address}`) // this prints data normal to console
}

module.exports.tags = ["all", "MaliciousContractx"]

Does anyone have any idea how can i fix it and why it is working for 1 deploying script and not for another?

Does anyone have any clue what might be the problem here?

@Neftyr Is the script itself triggering? Please leave the repo so I can test locally as well.

[alymurtazamemon]

@Neftyr No actually log is also working above this line without commenting it. I am not 100% sure but I think this is not allowed to call here. And I do not thing you need it here for any scenario.

[Nlferu]

Ok I will try to find another solution then. Thanks for helping me with this @alymurtazamemon

[Nlferu]

As a solution:

We can just simply deploy this malicious contract in our test.js, in this case we dont need any deploy script.

Example code:

              const maliciousContractFactory = await ethers.getContractFactory("MaliciousContract")
              const maliciousContract = await maliciousContractFactory.deploy(abstractImpulseNFT.address)
              await maliciousContract.deployed()

              const victimAdd = await maliciousContract.getVictim()
              console.log(`Victim Address: ${victimAdd} NFT Add: ${abstractImpulseNFT.address}`)

@Neftyr You can keep the deployment in the deploy folder and use this in the tests. Let me know what you want to achieve so I can guide you in a proper way.

@alymurtazamemon thanks but I have already achieved all I wanted. I was just testing reentrancy exploit. Whole test is implemented to this repo: https://github.com/Neftyr/Hardhat-Testing-Grounds
