How to get the address of a contract deployed by another contract - ethereum

Question

-----START EDIT-----
I don't know what I was doing wrong before, but the code below was somehow not working for me, and now is working, and it's exactly the same. I don't know how or what I was missing before, but both this minimal example and the real project I am working on is working now. Obviously I changed something, but I can't figure out what. I just know it's working now. Sorry for the confusion and thanks to everyone for helping.
-----END EDIT-----
I am new to Solidity and am using the Factory pattern for deploying a contract from another contract. I am trying to get the contract address of the deployed contract, but I am running into errors.
I already tried the solution in this question, but I'm getting the following error: Return argument type struct StorageFactory.ContractData storage ref is not implicitly convertible to expected type (type of first return variable) address.
Here is my code:
// START EDIT (adding version)
pragma solidity ^0.8.0;
// END EDIT
contract StorageFactory {
struct ContractData {
address contractAddress; // I want to save the deployed contract address in a mapping that includes this struct
bool exists;
}
// mapping from address of user who deployed new Storage contract => ContractData struct (which includes the contract address)
mapping(address => ContractData) public userAddressToStruct;
function createStorageContract(address _userAddress) public {
// require that the user has not previously deployed a storage contract
require(!userAddressToStruct[_userAddress].exists, "Account already exists");
// TRYING TO GET THE ADDRESS OF THE NEWLY CREATED CONTRACT HERE, BUT GETTING AN ERROR
address contractAddress = address(new StorageContract(_userAddress));
// trying to save the contractAddress here but unable to isolate the contract address
userAddressToStruct[_userAddress].contractAddress = contractAddress;
userAddressToStruct[_userAddress].exists = true;
}
}
// arbitrary StorageContract being deployed
contract StorageContract {
address immutable deployedBy;
constructor(address _deployedBy) {
deployedBy = _deployedBy;
}
}
How can I get this contract address, so I can store it in the ContractData struct? Thanks.

Answer 1

I compiled your contract, deployed it on Remix, and interacted without issue with this setting
pragma solidity >=0.7.0 <0.9.0;
I think you had this in your contract before
userAddressToStruct[_userAddress] = contractAddress;
instead of this
userAddressToStruct[_userAddress].contractAddress = contractAddress;

You can use the following code to get the address of the deployed contract:
address contractAddress;
(contractAddress,) = new StorageContract(_userAddress);
userAddressToStruct[_userAddress].contractAddress = contractAddress;
