Describe the bug

typeError : .deployed() is not a function

when i try to run my scripts with the command "yarn hardhat run scripts/deploy.js" it says that "simpleStorage.deployed is not a function"

here's my code :

const { ethers } = require("hardhat");

async function main() {
  const SimpleStorageFactory = await ethers.getContractFactory(
    "SimpleStorage"
    );
    console.log("deploying contract...");
    const simpleStorage = await SimpleStorageFactory.deploy();
    await simpleStorage.deployed();
    console.log(`deployted contract to : ${simpleStorage.address}`);
}

main()
  .then(() => process.exit(0))
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error(error);
    process.exit(1);
  });

and here's my package.json

{
  "name": "hardhatproject",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "main": "index.js",
  "license": "MIT",
  "devDependencies": {

no need of await simplestorage.deployed() just run without adding this it will run fine. And if you want to wait for block conformation use simplestorage.deployTransaction.wait(6) like that

You need to wait in order to get address later. What you can do just change 2 funstions. "deployed()" to "waitForDeployment()" and "address" to "target"

 await simpleStorage.waitForDeployment(); // Wait for the contract deployment to complete
  console.log(`Contract deployed to address: ${simpleStorage.target}`);
