get value via event.args.EVENT_KEY in typescript does not work

although it is undocumented but event.args actually can get event property via string instead of array, for example:

// solidity
event ValueChanged(address indexed author, string oldValue, string newValue);

function setValue(string value) public {
    emit ValueChanged(msg.sender, _value, value);
    _value = value;
}

// javascript
const tx = await contractWithSigner.setValue("I like turtles.");
const receipt = await tx.wait();
console.log(receipt.events[0].args.newValue)
// print "I like turtles."
console.log(receipt.events[0].args[2])
// same "I like turtles."

it works in javascript but does not work in typescript since args is defined as any[]:

export interface Event extends Log {
    args?: Array<any>;
   // ...
}

PR is on the way to fix it.

I actually just ran into this same issue yesterday and have it fixed on my local version. I’ll push the change tomorrow. 😃

Ok. I’ll close this issue too, but please re-open if you continue to have issues.

Thanks! 😃
