I am trying to deploy a Solidity contract using a deployment script in Hardhat. However, I encountered an error during the deployment process.I'm using Hardhat as my development environment, and I have already compiled the contract successfully. However, it seems that there is an issue with the bytecode or data being provided during deployment. The error message I received is as follows:

Error: expected 0 constructor arguments, got 6

Deploy Script

const { network, ethers } = require("hardhat");
const {
  developmentChains,
  networkConfig,
  VERIFICATION_BLOCK_CONFIRMATIONS
} = require("../helper-hardhat-config.js");
const { verify } = require("../utils/verify");

console.log("I've reached here");

// Rest of the script...

const entranceFee = networkConfig[chainId]["entranceFee"];
const gasLane = networkConfig[chainId]["gasLane"];
const callBackGasLimit = networkConfig[chainId]["callBackGasLimit"];
const interval = networkConfig[chainId]["interval"];

const args = [entranceFee, vrfCoordinatorV2Address, gasLane, subscriptionId, callBackGasLimit, interval];

//**Error starts here**!!

const lottery = await deploy("Lottery", {
  from: deployer,
  args: args,
  log: true,
  waitConfirmations: network.config.blockConfirmations || 1,
});

// Rest of the script...

      abstract contract Lottery is VRFConsumerBaseV2, AutomationCompatibleInterface {

    event WinnerPicked(address indexed winner);

constructor(

    address vrfCoordinatorV2,
    bytes32 gasLane,
    uint64 subscriptionId,
    uint32 callBackGasLimit,
    uint256 interval
)
    VRFConsumerBaseV2(vrfCoordinatorV2)
{
    // (Constructor implementation...)
}
//Rest of the code

I suspect that the issue might be related to the bytecode not being provided correctly during deployment. I have verified that the contract is compiled successfully and the bytecode is available in the artifacts/ directory.

Could someone please assist me in resolving this error? What could be causing the error during deployment?

Because of the abstract contract you defined in Lottery, remove abstract.(abstract contracts cannot be deployed directly.)

  • Thanks, @Ethan but I already tried that, it throws an error and refuses to compile and if I try making the constructor public, it logs that I am not implementing from the base contract. Jul 3 at 9:59
