deploy_contract

def deploy_contract(
    contract: str,
    constructor_calldata: Optional[Union[List[int], Dict]] = None,
) -> DeployedContact:

class DeployedContract:
    contract_address: int

Deploys a contract given a path relative to a Protostar project root. The section Deploying contracts from tests demonstrates a usage of this cheatcode.

• contract — A path to the contract's main .cairo source file.

danger

Deploying a contract is a slow operation. If it's possible try using this cheatcode in the __setup__ hook.

info

deploy_contract is just a syntactic sugar over executing cheatcodes declare -> prepare -> deploy separately, and it's what it does under the hood.

tip

You can provide constructor_calldata as a dictionary to leverage data transformer.
