Whenever I try to deploy a contract I get an error saying -- Promise { <pending> }

[oceanwillo]

my deploy.js code is below:

const { ethers } = require("hardhat");


async function main() {
 
  const whitelistContract = await ethers.getContractFactory("Whitelist");
  const deployedWhitelistContract = await whitelistContract.deploy(10);
  await deployedWhitelistContract.waitForDeployment();
   
  // print the address of the deployed contract
  console.log("Whitelist Contract Address:",  deployedWhitelistContract.getAddress());
}

// Call the main function and catch if there is any error
main()
  .then(() => process.exit(0))
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error(error);
    process.exit(1);
  });

I'm not sure how I can fix this, the promise remains pending for hours

Use address instead of getAddress()
console.log("Whitelist Contract Address:", deployedWhitelistContract.address);

In the latest version of hardhat, .address had been changes to .getAddress() deployed() has also been changed to waitForDeployment().

Ok,
also target return the address of the contract, without using await keyword
console.log("Whitelist Contract Address:", deployedWhitelistContract.target);

Hi,

getAddress() is async. You need to add await

You can add const whitelistContractAddress = await deployedWhitelistContract.getAddress()

then :

console.log("Whitelist Contract Address:", whitelistContractAddress);

[SagarRuhela]

use this console.log("Whitelist Contract Address:", await deployedWhitelistContract.getAddress()); instead of console.log("Whitelist Contract Address:", deployedWhitelistContract.getAddress());
