eth-brownie: Deployed contract returning as transaction receipt instead of the contract itself. I cannot grab the contract from the address or alias

Question

I deployed a token on the BSC network transaction

it saved the object as a transaction receipt

it is not returning the contract object, as it shows in the docs.

I also cannot grab the contract from the address. I have a mint function in the contract that I am trying to run. I cannot do this with just the transaction receipt can I?

When I tested on ganache test network, it returns a contract object. I was able to run the mint function just fine! but on the live network I am having some issues.

Thank you for your time.

Answer 1

Adding a "required_confs" key to the tx data should solve this.

should_be_instance_of_contract = contract.deploy(
    {"from": account, 'required_confs': 3},
    publish_source=True
)

vs.

should_be_tx_receipt = contract.deploy(
    {"from": account},
    publish_source=True
)
