is there a way to find out if a contract was deployed in this run in a subsequent script? #135

or to save some data that a script running later in the same run can check? i have a couple of contracts that depend on eachother, after create i need to set each other s addresses which is fine in a separate script. what confuses me is that if one of the contracts gets modified and the other doesn't then the script won t work (as one of the contracts is already set and can be set only once). if i could save some kind of data on deploy, or invalidate a deployment, or if i could tell one of the contracts was deployed and trigger a redeploy of the other, i could rerun the scripts when needed ... not sure how to tackle this one, any suggestion is welcome

linkedData looks like it might be helpful, but would still be interested if there would be any other ways to sort the above

Feel like what you are trying to do could be a separate scripts, not a a deploy script, no ?

hardhat-deploy is designed for idempotent deploy script, that can be rexecuted multiple times without issues. this is useful when a tx is pending and you need to rexecute the whole thing

you re right, ofc, a separate script is way better for this, thanks
