Hey all! I have a smart contract that I need to deploy that accepts another smart contract as parameter of its constructor. I'm testing this using Chai just to see how this is done. But I get a an "invalid address ENS name" error message.

what contract address parameter are you putting in the call to the constructor?

is it perhaps not formatted as a proper ETH address?

The smart contract that requires another smart contract as parameter is coming from the contractFactory. It's not asking for an address.

ok, but what address is getting used?

In the contract itself, say ContractA, and ContractB where ContractB is passed to ContractA in its constructor

ok...can you post the code or screenshot of the code that has the call to the ContractA constructor?

Below is the snippet

contract Farming {
string public name = "Farm";
uint public apy;
address public owner;
PondToken public pondToken;
// address public rewardAddress;
address[] public stakers;
mapping(address => uint) public stakingBalance;
mapping(address => uint) public stakingTime;
mapping(address => bool) public hasStaked;

constructor(PondToken _pondToken) {
pondToken = _pondToken;
owner = msg.sender;
// rewardAddress = msg.sender;
apy=10000;
}

ok, and the call to that constructor?

can you post that?

This is PondToke in the same sol file: contract PondToken {

event Transfer(address indexed from, address indexed to, uint tokens);
event Approval(address indexed tokenOwner, address indexed spender, uint tokens);

string public constant name = "Pond";
string public constant symbol = "POND";
uint8 public constant decimals = 18;

mapping(address => uint256) balances;

mapping(address => mapping (address => uint256)) allowed;

uint256 totalSupply_;

constructor(uint256 total) {
totalSupply_ = total;
balances[msg.sender] = totalSupply_;
}

below is the test in Chai: it("Should create PondToken and Farming Contract Instances", async function () {
const Farming = await ethers.getContractFactory("Farming");
const PondToken = await ethers.getContractFactory("PondToken")
const pondTokenInstance = await PondToken.deploy(totalSupply);
const farmingInstance = await Farming.deploy(PondToken);
/*let result = await farmingInstance.getRewardTokens();
console.log(`Result ${result}`)*/

});

this line is likely wrong:

const farmingInstance = await Farming.deploy(PondToken);

You want:

const farmingInstance = await Farming.deploy(pondTokenInstance.address);

I passed the pondTokenInstance and I got the same error message

you need .address

I think so too.

The constructor from Farming contract should be accepting an address of the PondToken contract. This contract was given to me to have a look at.

yes, try using pondTokenInstance.address

that worked!

first time doing that. thanks man.

no prob

I am trying to make a
transaction using web3 js
But txhash is undefined

I am using buffer.from for pvt key conversion

hard to say without seeing your code

Can I dm you

sure

anyone here have a good Javascript example of sending transacction from a Chai test script? I have a simple function in an ERC20 contract and in my Chai script is the syntax: contractInstance.stakeTokens(_amount) but I keep getting an error message "transaction reverted for no reason"

or something to that effect.
