Lesson 6: How to find my contracts address after deploying it in ethers v6^

[mosh02]

I saw that in ethers v6 and over doing
console.log(deployedcontract to: ${simplestorage.address})
is not functionable and returns an undefined address.
I want to get my contracts address so I can find it on etherscan and look at the information on the contract. I tried doing .target instead, but it gave me another address (when I checked it on etherscan it had about 40 sepolia eth). Is there another way I can find my contracts address?

Thank you!

You might be getting back a hardhat address. Quite often people mistakenly send test Eth to these hardhat addresses.

Make sure you are indeed using:

console.log(`deployedcontract to: ${simplestorage.target}`)

and deploying using:

yarn run scripts/deploy.js --network sepolia

Do you have the sepolia network added to your hardhat.config and helper-hardhat-config?

Oh yes that turned out to be the issue. I did run into another issue after that when deploying on the sepolia testnet saying "could not decode result data....". It turned out to be that i had the await simpleStorage.deploymenttransaction().wait(6) commented out. Once i ran that command everything ran smoothly. Thank you for the help!
