Truffle: What's the recommended way to test a contract with constructor params?

[raineorshine]

I understand that truffle's deploy and test flow intentionally do not support contracts with parameters. It seems like this would still be double with a custom exec script. I am going to need be able to unit test the constructor for my contract since it is an important part of the dapp's overall functionality. Could you provide a basic example of how one might approach this, or give some suggestions for someone relatively new to Solidity/Truffle development? Thank you!

Hey @raineorshine,

I apologize for not responding to this. The way I do it is to have the test set up a new version of the contract using MyContract.new(), passing constructor parameters, then I write tests against that contract using further transactions and calls. Let me know if you need a code example, and I can provide one.

Closing for housekeeping, but I hope I helped (even though my response was way late!). Thanks!

Okay, thank you!

@tcoulter How can I send payment and gas to the constructor?
