- attempt to fix build this is caused becaused the hardhat task expects typechain but the typechain can't run because the hardhat config imports the task also described here: https://github.com/dethcr... — committed to withtally/dao.new by davidbrai 2 years ago
agree to reopen this
The only workaround I know works is using
import type {...} from "...", and runningTS_NODE_TRANSPILE_ONLY=1 npx hardhat compile.This workaround does not work for me.
The only way I can workaround from this is to
requirethe type dynamically, losing the purpose of having the type information.Can you post a link to a repo so that I can take a look, @tuler ?
There’s a workaround that’s running
TS_NODE_TRANSPILE_ONLY=1 npx hardhat typechainfirst.We are looking for ways to fix this, but it’s not clear yet how, nor we can prioritize it yet.
@mr13tech ahh yes I think this is a problem with
ts-node. You need to ensure that types are generated before running tests. Hardhat team tries to come up with a fix for this AFAIK.Please refer to this example: https://github.com/ethereum-ts/TypeChain/tree/master/examples/hardhat
As @julianlen mentioned, probably it’s
tsconfig.jsonmisconfiguration.Check the
tsconfig.jsonfile if it has"include": ["./hardhat.config.ts","./scripts","src/**/*", "**/*.ts","./test", "typechain/**/*"],The same for
hardhat.config.tscheck if you are importingimport "@typechain/hardhat"
