How to return contract that is created by new operator in factory contract?

[JimAtActiv]

Hello-

I am attempting to create a factory contract that creates and returns new contract using the solidity 'new' operator. However, when I execute the method, I getting back a transactionReceipt and not the created contract. See the code segment from the factory below:

`/**
     * @notice Creates a new digial asset token.
     */
    function createDigitalAssetNFT(
        uint16 _assetTypeId,
        address _assetOwner,
        string memory _tokenURI
    ) public onlyOwner returns (ActivDigitalAssetNFT) {
        // Create a new ActivDigitalAssetNFT contract.
        ActivDigitalAssetNFT activDigitalAsset = new ActivDigitalAssetNFT(
            _assetTypeId,
            uint256(assetTokenCounter),
            _tokenURI
        );

        //  Transfer the ownership of the token to the asset owner.
        activDigitalAsset.safeTransferFrom(
            address(this),
            _assetOwner,
            uint256(assetTokenCounter)
        );

        //  Increment the count of asset tokens created.
        assetTokenCounter++;

        //  Return the created asset token.
        return (activDigitalAsset);
    }`

I am calling this method from my python script below, note the comments in the python script.:

`tokenId = factory.getAssetTokenCounter()

    #   This is where I am having trouble, I would have expected that
    #   my factory contract would have returned a a contract, but it seems
    #   to be returning a transactionReceipt.
    #
    #   asset_1 = factory.createDigitalAssetNFT(0, account.address, tokenURI, {"from": account}) <= I wish this code worked!!!

    #   But is is not, instead I am receiving a transactionReceipt. Unfortunatly
    #   INFURA does not make the debug_traceTransaction RPC endpoint avaiable so I do
    #   not know how to get the contract from the transaction...
    tx = factory.createDigitalAssetNFT(0, account.address, tokenURI, {"from": account})
    tx.wait(1)

    #   This is a hack, but this too is not working.
    asset_1 = factory.getAddressOfContractByTokenId(tokenId)

    asset_1_address = asset_1.address
    asset_1_token_id = asset_1.getTokenId()`

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Hello Jim.
Just some suggestion here:

1. return (activDigitalAsset) do not use parenthesis here.
2. try this:
   Change this
   tx = factory.createDigitalAssetNFT(0, account.address, tokenURI, {"from": account})
   to this

digital_asset =  factory.createDigitalAssetNFT(0, account.address, tokenURI, {"from": account})
print(digital_asset.address)

does this returns the correct address on which the contract is created?

3. Please share the code of getAddressOfContractByTokenId
