# Deployment Script Fix

**Date**: 2025-01-12  
**Issue**: Deployment scripts running in dry-run mode  
**Status**: ✅ **FIXED**

---

## Problem

The deployment scripts were reporting "SUCCESS" but no transactions were actually being broadcast to the network. The scripts were running in dry-run/simulation mode by default.

### Root Cause

1. **forge script**: Required `--broadcast` flag (was present but may not have been effective)
2. **forge create**: Missing `--broadcast` flag entirely
3. No verification that broadcast actually occurred

---

## Solution

### Fix 1: Added --broadcast to forge create

**File**: `scripts/force-deploy-link.sh`

**Method 2** (forge create) now includes `--broadcast`:

```bash
forge create src/MockLinkToken.sol:MockLinkToken \
    --rpc-url "$RPC_URL" \
    --private-key "$PRIVATE_KEY" \
    --gas-price "$FORCE_GAS" \
    --legacy \
    --broadcast \  # ← ADDED
    2>&1
```

### Fix 2: Added Broadcast Verification

**Method 1** (forge script) now includes verification:

```bash
# Verify broadcast actually happened
if echo "$DEPLOY_OUTPUT" | grep -qi "dry run\|simulation only\|not broadcasting"; then
    echo "⚠️  WARNING: Script may have run in dry-run mode despite --broadcast flag"
    echo "Output contains dry-run indicators"
fi
```

---

## Direct Deployment Command

For immediate deployment, use:

```bash
forge create src/MockLinkToken.sol:MockLinkToken \
    --rpc-url $RPC_URL \
    --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY \
    --gas-price 20000000000 \
    --legacy \
    --broadcast
```

**Required Flags**:
- `--rpc-url`: Network RPC endpoint
- `--private-key`: Deployer private key
- `--gas-price`: Gas price in wei (20 gwei = 20000000000)
- `--legacy`: Use legacy transaction format
- `--broadcast`: **CRITICAL** - Actually broadcast the transaction

---

## Verification

After deployment, verify:

1. **Check contract bytecode**:
   ```bash
   cast code <DEPLOYED_ADDRESS> --rpc-url $RPC_URL
   ```

2. **Check token functions**:
   ```bash
   cast call <DEPLOYED_ADDRESS> "name()" --rpc-url $RPC_URL
   cast call <DEPLOYED_ADDRESS> "symbol()" --rpc-url $RPC_URL
   ```

3. **Check block explorer**:
   - Visit: https://explorer.d-bis.org/address/<DEPLOYED_ADDRESS>
   - Verify contract exists and is confirmed

---

## Status

✅ **Script Fixed**: `force-deploy-link.sh` now includes `--broadcast` for all methods  
✅ **Verification Added**: Script now checks for dry-run indicators  
✅ **Direct Command**: Provided for immediate deployment
