Deploying a smart contract

Prerequisites

Run the deploy command of qvmctl using docker

docker run --rm -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v $(pwd):/ws qanplatform/qvmctl deploy -language golang -privkey /ws/privkey -rpc <testnet_endpoint> </path/to/sourcecode>

Notes for solidity

• The compiler does not support dynamic imports out of the box. It might be enabled later, but we generally recommend to have all sources in a single file to be absolutely sure what is being deployed.
• Also, since Solidity also supports multiple contracts during compile, you must specify which contract you want to deploy with an extra parameter like this:

docker run --rm -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v $(pwd):/ws qanplatform/qvmctl deploy -language solidity -solidity.name MyContract -privkey /ws/privkey -rpc <testnet_endpoint> </path/to/sourcecode>

Where -solidity.name MyContract refers to the name of the contract you want to deploy.
