   "before each" hook for "should deploy successfully":
 Error: too many arguments:  in Contract constructor (count=4, expectedCount=0, code=UNEXPECTED_ARGUMENT, version=contracts/5.5.0)

below is my test script :

describe("FortuneTigersPunk", async () => {
  let FTPContract: Contract;
  let owner: SignerWithAddress;
  let alice: SignerWithAddress;

  beforeEach(async () => {
     const FTPFactory = await ethers.getContractFactory("TigerNft") ;
    [owner, alice] = await ethers.getSigners();

    FTPContract = await FTPFactory.deploy(
      "FortuneTigersPunk",
      "FTP",
      10000,
      1
    );
    console.log(`owner: ${owner.address} alice: ${alice.address}`);

   });
   it("should deploy successfully", async() => {
    console.log("contract address", FTPContract.address);
  });

Answer 1

The error message is quite clear: too many arguments. This means that your constructor expects 0 arguments (or maybe the contract doesn't have a constructor at all) but you are providing it with 4 arguments.

So either fix your contract or fix your deployment. The constructor is called once, only during deployment, so you have to give it the right amount of arguments.
