Lesson 6: TypeError: simpleStorage.deployed is not a function

[hamednasr]

Hello folks,
could anyone help with this ?! :)

I get an error :
when this code is included : await simpleStorage.deployed() , I get this error:

Deploying Contract....
TypeError: simpleStorage.deployed is not a function
at main (/home/hamednasr/ethers.js/hardhat_simple_storage/scripts/deploy.js:8:23)
at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:96:5)
error Command failed with exit code 1.
info Visit https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/run for documentation about this command.

and when I remove it, it works fine!!

Also, I put await before SimpleStorageFactory.deploy() and it also worked, isn`t there any difference between await SimpleStorageFactory.deploy() and SimpleStorageFactory.deploy() ??

do you know why?

Can you send the entire program (the one used to deploy, where the error is occuring), thanks.

 // * hardhat gets contract from artifacts folder that is the reason it knows contract with name and we can get this way.
  const SimpleStorageFactory = await ethers.getContractFactory("SimpleStorage");
  console.log("Deploying contract...");
  const simpleStorage = await SimpleStorageFactory.deploy();
  console.log("Waiting for contract to deployed...");
  await simpleStorage.deployed();
  console.log("Contract address");
  console.log(simpleStorage.address);

factory instance has a function deploy() on the other hand after deploying the instance we receive that has a function deployed()

and if I am trying to deploy it without

await simpleStorage.deployed()

contract address is showing undefined

Deploying contract...
Deployed contract to: undefined
Current Value is: 0
Updated Value is: 7
Done in 3.43s.```

If you are using ethers version 6 or higher, remove

await simpleStorage.deployed()

try to change:

console.log(simpleStorage.address)

to

console.log(simpleStorage.target)

you will get the address.

Thanks, bro, your advice helped me. I couldn't sleep last night because of this error. Now my code is working fine

[Jundullah125]

Thanks man. i got it

[shariqazeem]

Thanks @mokhles95

[bensacc]

make sure you have the "await" keyword on the SimpleStorageFactory.deploy():

const simpleStorage = await SimpleStorageFactory.deploy()

I got this error also and basically by it not having the await in factory it's trying to call the deployed() method on simpleStorage before the object is returned (i.e. before it actually exists). asynch programming in action!

Thanks, this worked.

[mokhles95]

If you are using ethers version 6 or higher, remove

await simpleStorage.deployed()

try to change:

console.log(simpleStorage.address)

to

console.log(simpleStorage.target)

you will get the address.

Thanks Man

This worked for me

[logan-git-art]

use:
await simpleStorage.getDeployedCode()

[zey9991]

That works. Like it.

[nirajnil2]

ya, it works. thanks

[Emillystev]

it helped, thanks

.deployed() and .address is not depreciated. instead of .deployed() use .waitForDeployment() and instead for address, use simpleStorage.target
