Can't get my deployment contract from deployments

[NickoMenty]

I use new version of hardhat with toolbox.
I already had such conversation opened once.
I used this code

const contracts = await deployments.fixture("raffle")
                const raffleContractInstance = contracts["Raffle"]
                const raffleContract = await ethers.getContractAt(
                    "Raffle",
                    raffleContractInstance.address,
                    deployer,
                )
                console.log(raffleContractInstance.address)
                raffle = raffleContract.connect(deployer)

to immitate

raffleContract = await ethers.getContract("Raffle")

And it worked for sometime, while I was testing on hardhat network.
However if I use the same code in staging test It will start doing this:
Raffle units tests fulfillRandomWords Verifying contract... The contract 0xe83115a5b2dc39F2718589CC40f994232e14a2d1 has already been verified. https://sepolia.etherscan.io/address/0xe83115a5b2dc39F2718589CC40f994232e14a2d1#code 0xe83115a5b2dc39F2718589CC40f994232e14a2d1
Giving me the new Raffle contract every time.

To solve this issue I used my only contract that has chainlink linked by importing abi:

const { abi, contractAddress } = require("../../constants")

accounts = await ethers.getSigners() 
player = accounts[0]
raffle = new ethers.Contract(contractAddress, abi, player)

This code works fine,
BUT my question is how to get the latest deployed contract in my staging test?
I don't want to get abi every time I write tests.

So, you can deploy your contract once on sepolia, using yarn hardhat deploy, and then run the tests.
But in test do some modification, instead of using fixture which deploys new contract everytime, you can use get method of deployments, which will get the most recent deployment.

Code snippet:

const _raffle = await deployments.get("Raffle")
const raffleContract = await ethers.getContractAt("Raffle", _raffle.address, deployer)
