Lesson 6: Wait X block confirmations in the new HardHat version

[AmCodesLame]

await simpleStorage.deployTransaction.wait(6)

This is not a valid function anymore, as ContractFactory deployment is changed in the new version of Hardhat.

So what is to be done in the new version?

@AmCodesLame It is now converted to this;

await contract.deploymentTransaction().wait(2)

[AmCodesLame]

what is contract here?

This is my working code, the contract gets deployed and I can check it on etherscan sepolia.
According to your solution I added the code, but It still throws an error, can you check where to add the method?
Thanks for answering :)

const deployedContract = await ethers.deployContract("StorageSystem");
  console.log("[main] Waiting for Deployment...");
  await deployedContract.waitForDeployment();

  const address = await deployedContract.getAddress();
  console.log("SimpleStorage Contract Address:", address);

  if (network.config.chainId === 11155111 && process.env.ETHERSCAN_API_KEY) {
    await deployedContract.deploymentTransaction.wait(6);
    await verify(address, []);
  }

@AmCodesLame here;

if (network.config.chainId === 11155111 && process.env.ETHERSCAN_API_KEY) {
  await deployedContract.deploymentTransaction().wait(6);
  await verify(address, []);
}

deploymentTransaction() is a function not a property.

I got it ! Be carefull the () after deploymentTransaction

[Mumtaz503]

use:
await contract.deploymentTransaction().wait(1);

It is not working.

contract is just the name of the contract that you initialized. In your case its deployedContract.

Can you try just another thing and if it doesn't work. Please push your repo to Github and send me a link. I'll look into it.

Here's what you can do

const deployedContract = await ethers.deploy("StorageSystem"); //change deployContract() to just deploy()
await deployedContract.deploymentTransaction().wait(1);

/*...... The rest of your code ..... */

Also downgrade your ethers to 5.7.2.

In your package.json file. locate ethers and change the version to 5.7.2. Then in your terminal run yarn install.
