deployProxy to Hardhat node

Support Upgrades

“@openzeppelin/hardhat-upgrades”: “^1.4.3”
“hardhat”: “^2.0.7”

Hey everyone. I’m trying to deploy my upgradeable contract using Hardhat/Ethers and OpenZepplin Upgrades.
I’m able to deploy just fine using the “deploy.js” script (rinkeby), however things fall apart when trying to deploy to the local “hardhat node”.

:1234: Code to reproduce

        const web3provider = new Web3HttpProvider('http://localhost:8545')
        const deploymentProvider = new ethers.providers.Web3Provider(web3provider)

        let contractFactory = new ethers.ContractFactory(Artifact.abi, Artifact.bytecode, deploymentProvider.getSigner())
        // NOTE: await contractFactory.deploy() works here
        contractInstance = await upgrades.deployProxy(contractFactory, [
            process.env.TEST_FORWARDER_ADDR
        ])
        await contractInstance.deployed()

ERROR:

Error: Invalid deployment with address 0x4ed7c70F96B99c776995fB64377f0d4aB3B0e1C1 and txHash 
0x9ec13a37944a361c9e66a12f0aad413ec63c3e026607a6665bb3c94cf5ac6b43

In my local hardhat node terminal, I do see a message saying the initial contract deployed:

  Contract deployment: MyContract

But there isn’t an associated ProxyContract being deployed

SOLUTION:

// using this function to initialize the factory works!
const contractFactory = await ethers.getContractFactory("MyContract")
