Hardhat Deployment – How to Deploy with Specific Account Using Hardhat

contract-deploymentethers.jshardhathardhat-deploy

I am trying to find out is it possible to set specific account from which to deploy contract in hardhat.

Does hardhat supports this by default or I need to include some other package.

Can you try this?

[theDefaultDeployer, acc1] = await ethers.getSigners();

// we will not use the "theDetaultDeployer" in what follows:
const MyContract = await ethers.getContractFactory("MyContract");
myContract = await MyContract.connect(acc1).deploy(1000);

// let's test it:
expect(await myContract.owner()).to.not.equal(theDefaultDeployer);
expect(await myContract.owner()).to.equal(acc1.address);

Notice the ".connect(acc1)" part that connects you to account 1 before deploying. This changes the default to any account you want (here, the second account in the "getSigners()" returned list).

i've found the issue. it was actually coming from gnosis-safe where they have a system in place to have deterministic addresses for their smart contracts and they are using presigned transactions.

I just disabled the deterministic deployment option and it worked \o/

This is actually a question about ethers.js, not hardhat.

Let's use my Greeter deployer as a base to start from:

task("deploy:Greeter")
  .addParam("greeting", "Say hello, be nice")
  .setAction(async function (taskArguments: TaskArguments, { ethers }) {
    const signers: SignerWithAddress[] = await ethers.getSigners();
    const greeterFactory: Greeter__factory = <Greeter__factory>await ethers.getContractFactory("Greeter");
    const greeter: Greeter = <Greeter>await greeterFactory.connect(signers[0]).deploy(taskArguments.greeting);
    await greeter.deployed();
    console.log("Greeter deployed to: ", greeter.address);
  });

So to change the deployer account, you use the connect method and then call the deploy function.
