Between those curly brackets, you can do something with result: .then(function(result) { console.log(JSON.stringify(result)); }, function(error)... But you don't need that, since you're already listening to the receipt. What's inside result is the receipt. You can get more info here: web3js.readthedocs.io/en/v1.2.5/callbacks-promises-events.ht‌​ml

Just after the .once('transactionHash', function(hash) { console.log("TxHash: " + hash); }) Should be something like .once('transactionHash', function(hash) { console.log("TxHash: " + hash); }).on('receipt', function(receipt) { console.log("receipt: " + JSON.stringify(receipt)); }).then(function(instance) { return instance.getInsurerInfo.call() }) and so on

Oh, no it doesn't. If it has any functionality like the browser's console, I'm unaware of it.

As a side note: you can get the receipt for your deploy by adding this to your promise chain: .on('receipt', function(receipt) { console.log("receipt: " + JSON.stringify(receipt)); })

You're welcome. You're right about the dotenv, it's required and I was importing it in another file. Ok, actually I don't think it's hanging. The contract has been deployed successfully and this output you posted proves so because what the code is doing there is calling the function getInsurerInfo from the deployed contract. That function should return exactly what you posted. So, yeah, success! :) It's deployed properly.
