Simple deployment command of a contract with two constructor arguments using forge is as follows
forge create src/Contract.sol:MyToken --constructor-args "My Token" "MT"

But in my case, I should pass some objects as constructor arguments to deploy a contract similar to below one

struct DiamondArgs {
    address owner;
    address init;
    bytes initCalldata;
}

contract MyContract {
    constructor(DiamondArgs memory _args) {}
}

So, the deployment command would look like this
forge create src/MyContract.sol:MyContract --constructor-args '{owner: "ownerAddress", init: "initAddress", initCalldata: "initCalldata"}'

When trying to pass that object, the result looks like this :
forge create --constructor-args [object Object] ...

What's the workaround for this?

  • Why is your struct DiamondArgs declared outside of your contract? Dec 5, 2022 at 5:52
  • It's a global variable, will also be used in inherited contracts, not only in MyContract contract Dec 5, 2022 at 14:41

    Here is a final answer to this issue with the reference of @OlivierD's answer. When using --constructor-args, the deployment command would look something like this. forge create src/MyContract.sol:MyContract --constructor-args '(0xMyAddress1,0xMyAddress2,0x03)' When using --constructor-args-path, forge create src/MyContract.sol:MyContract --constructor-args-path args And in the arg file(with no extension), the content is as follows (0xMyAddress1,0xMyAddress2,0x03) Please be careful not to add whitespace between arguments Dec 7, 2022 at 8:13

Ok, took me too long to figure it out but you can pass objects by using --constructor-args-path and creating a file named 'args' with your arguments in it.

In your case:

(0xMyAddress1, 0xMyAddress2, 0x03)

Hope this helps, let me know if you have questions!

  • Thanks a lot @OlivierD. but how does the args file look like? args.json? I've tried --constructor-args-path in a few ways, but still no hope Dec 5, 2022 at 14:42
  • I create a file ‘args’. No .txt, .json, .whatever. Just ‘args’. In it, with vscode, I wrote “(0xMyAddress1, 0xMyAddress2, 0x03)“ and it worked Dec 5, 2022 at 23:40
  • Not working on my side, Could you check this repo and test? Dec 6, 2022 at 1:25

    Just cloned your repo. So, first, remove the " around the parentheses of (0x9F79941335e54A11eCD13cedf58375657FdA97A1, 0x9F79941335e54A11eCD13cedf58375657FdA97A1). Second, change those addresses. Didn't work for me when I tried with those 2 addresses so replaced it with my metamask address and it worked on the first try. Don't know if it's a checksum issue or what... Let me know if this works and mark my answer as valid and upvote if it helped you! Thanks Dec 6, 2022 at 4:25
  • Yeah, thanks for your detailed explanation, but seems it's not related checksum issue, I guess. That worked with original addresses on my side, though in case of ContractV1. I have updated the repo with 2 contracts, it will be more understandable for what I'v faced Dec 6, 2022 at 14:50
