Error deploying Solidity contract: Expected 0 constructor arguments, got 6 in hardhat

Question

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...

    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?

Answer 1

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