Add `new` operation on `Contracts`. about ethers.js HOT 6 CLOSED

There is now a method on Contract that can generate the deployment transaction. The bytecode and ABI are required, followed by any parameters the contract constructor takes.

var transaction = Contract.getDeployTransaction(bytecode, abi, "Hello World");

from ethers.js.

Hi
I tried above but does not work, I am using version 3.0.25 [using in ionic]

Error: Uncaught (in promise): Error: too many constructor arguments (count=1, expectedCount=0)

Thanks,

What parameters does your Contract have in its constructor? What parameters are you passing to getDeployTransaction?

from ethers.js.

I tried passing 4 so it failed, so I just tried your example of passing one string, that also failed. The error msg is same in all cases...
here is my constructor code
function Contract(address buyer_address, address seller_address, address token_address, address arbit_address) payable public {

from ethers.js.

On a related note, is there any way to set value of a deployed contract? i tried following but failed:

var setTransaction = contract.functions.owner.set(this._owner)
var callPromise = wallet.sendTransaction(setTransaction);

from ethers.js.

I've updated issue #136 (comment) with more details.

The contract.functions.something send the transaction to the network, there is no need to use wallet.sendTransaction yourself. If you wish to manually construct transactions, you will need to use the Interface class, not the Contract class; but this is something low-level frameworks would be more likely to require.
