contract.deployTransaction.wait(1) not working in ethers version 6

Question

To be specific I am using ethers version 6.2.3

Error is in this line

  const deploymentReceipt = await contract.deployTransaction.wait(1);

Entire code I am using to deploy contract and wait

const { ethers, JsonRpcProvider } = require('ethers');
const fs = require('fs-extra');
async function main() {
  const provider = new JsonRpcProvider('http://127.0.0.1:7545');

  const wallet = new ethers.Wallet(
    'private Key', //replace with ganache private key
    provider
  );

  const abi = fs.readFileSync('./SimpleStorage_sol_SimpleStorage.abi', 'utf8');
  const binary = fs.readFileSync(
    './SimpleStorage_sol_SimpleStorage.bin',
    'utf8'
  );
  const contractFactory = new ethers.ContractFactory(abi, binary, wallet);
  console.log('Deploying, Please wait...');
  const contract = await contractFactory.deploy();
  const deploymentReceipt = await contract.deployTransaction.wait(1); // This line has the issue.
  console.log(deploymentReceipt);
}

main()
  .then(() => process.exit(0))
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error(error);
    process.exit(1);
  });

Console

Deploying, Please wait...
TypeError: no matching function (argument="key", value="deployTransaction", code=INVALID_ARGUMENT, version=6.2.3)

code: 'INVALID_ARGUMENT',
  argument: 'key',
  value: 'deployTransaction'

Answer 1

Changing this from ethers v5

  const deploymentReceipt = await contract.deployTransaction.wait(1);

To this on ethers v6

  const deploymentReceipt = await contract.deploymentTransaction().wait(1);

Fixes the issue.

Answer 2

Try changing to

      const deploymentReceipt = await contract.deploy();
      deploymentReceipt.wait(1);

Answer 3

const transactionReceipt = await contract.deploymentTransaction().wait(1);
console.log("Here is the deployment transaction: ");
console.log(contract.deploymentTransaction);
console.log("Here is the transaction receipt: ");
console.log(transactionReceipt);

Answer 4

I don't have enough reputation to leave the comment, but if you want to return deployment transaction you need to change this:

console.log(contract.deploymentTransaction);

to this

console.log(contract.deploymentTransaction());

Answer 5

This works for me.

const contractFactory = new ethers.ContractFactory(abi,binary,wallet); 
console.log("Deploying please wait....");
const contract = await contractFactory.deploy();
const deploymentReciept = await contract.deploymentTransaction()?.wait(1);
