Is it possible to call methods of contract's initializer during its initialization? - ethereum

Question

I tried to deploy following smart contracts
pragma solidity 0.8.17;
contract Contract1 {
constructor() {
new Contract2(address(this));
}
function foo() public pure returns (string memory) {
return "bar";
}
}
contract Contract2 {
Contract1 contract1;
constructor(address _contract1) {
contract1 = Contract1(_contract1);
contract1.foo();
}
}
but it fails with following message:
The transaction has been reverted to the initial state. Note: The
called function should be payable if you send value and the value you
send should be less than your current balance. Debug the transaction
to get more information.
Seems like it's impossible to call methods of contract's initializer (the contract that created an instance of current one) during its initialization.
My question is how it happens that address of the Contract1 is already exists, but it's impossible to call any of its methods from the constructor of Contract2?

Answer 1

The address of Contract1 is not yet available when the constructor of Contract2 is called. The address of Contract1 is only available after the constructor of Contract1 has finished executing.
This means that the constructor of Contract2 cannot call any methods of Contract1 until after the constructor of Contract1 has finished executing.
In this case you can deploy the Contract1, wait for the tx complete and after deploy the Contract2 using the address of Contract1 in constructor arguments.
