Unexpected Error-npx hardhat compile in hardhat-starter-kit

[ajeetk1]

Hi All,

I just found an error when execute npx hardhat compile in hardhat-starter-kit :

"npx hardhat An unexpected error occurred: Error: Cannot find module '@nomiclabs/hardhat-waffle' Require stack:"

I have also added "ry "npm install -D @nomiclabs/hardhat-waffle ethereum-waffle" &

Still same unexpected error.

Thanks

Hi @ajeetk1, can you try to install the packages first after cloning the repo (using yarn or npm i) and then compile contracts using yarn compile or npm compile? Let's try to exclude npx and see if the issue will go away. Thanks

This answer is from Patrck Collins's solidity course.

We need to delete the unwanted config file.

1. Find it

  npx hardhat --verbose

  hardhat:core:config Loading Hardhat config from /Users/hardhat.config.js

2. Then Remove it

rm /Users/hardhat.config.js

Try yarn hardhat again, this works for me.
