Documentation not clear on need to install SimpleAccountFactory contract from account-abstraction

[d-smith]

Set up:

• Running local dev geth node
• Deployed local bundler from https://github.com/eth-infinitism/bundler
• Verified local node and bundler set up via https://github.com/eth-infinitism/bundler-spec-tests

With this setup, yarn run simpleAccount address produced SimpleAccount address: 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 as the output, with the following logged in the local node:

WARN [03-10|13:33:30.709] Served eth_call  conn=127.0.0.1:52652 reqid=44 duration="581.499µs" err="execution reverted"                    
errdata=0x6ca7b8060000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Remedy

To remedy this, I installed the smart contract from the account-abstraction project by cloning that project and running the deploy script, e.g. yarn deploy --network localhost and updating config.json with the address of the freshly deployed SimpleAccountFactory address.

After deploying the account abstraction into the local environment, yarn run simpleAccount address produced an address as expected.
