call contract from another contract with connect.

[novaknole]

Hey Richard.

@ricmoo

I deploy one of the contracts Voting from Factory contract and emit Voting address. I catch the event and get the Voting contract such as :

const voting = await ethers.getContractAt('Voting', votingAddress),

Now, I have another contract deployed, called - Bank and it has a function execute. What I need is that I want to call Bank's function execute by voting.

I tried:

const connect = Bank.connect(voting.provider)
connect.execute()

Problem is that voting.provider somehow still ends up to be the signers[0] - the same account that just deploys stuff by default.

2. Then I tried,

let signer = new ethers.providers.Web3Provider(
            <any>network.provider
        ).getSigner(SimpleVoting.address)

const connect = Bank.connect(signer)
connect.execute()

Now, with this, I get an error: unknown account 0xf433c50017d963b6082043445bcd0a54716ddc1d and here, the address is trully voting's address.

How should I solve this ? I am running stuff in hardhat's network for testing.
