#Hardhat errors

The most common source of errors is trying to import the Hardhat Runtime Environment from your config or a file imported from it. This is not possible, as Hardhat can't be initialized while its config is being defined.

You may also have accidentally imported hardhat instead of hardhat/config.

Please make sure your config file is correct.

#HH10: Attempted to modify the user's config

An attempt to modify the user's config was made.

This is probably a bug in one of your plugins.

Please report it to help us improve Hardhat.

#HH11: Invariant violation

An internal invariant was violated. This is probably caused by a programming error in hardhat or in one of the used plugins.

Please report it to help us improve Hardhat.

#HH12: Hardhat is not installed or installed globally

You tried to run Hardhat from a global installation or not installing it at all. This is not supported.

Please install Hardhat locally using npm or Yarn, and try again.

#HH13: ts-node not installed

You are running a Hardhat project that uses typescript, but you haven't installed ts-node.

Please run this and try again: npm install --save-dev ts-node

#HH14: typescript not installed

You are running a Hardhat project that uses typescript, but it's not installed.

Please run this and try again: npm install --save-dev typescript

#HH15: You are not inside a Hardhat project and Hardhat failed to initialize a new one

You are trying to run Hardhat outside of a Hardhat project, and we couldn't initialize one.

If you were trying to create a new project, please try again using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) or PowerShell.

You can learn how to use Hardhat by reading the Getting Started guide.

#HH16: conflicting files during project creation

You are trying to create a new hardhat project, but there are existing files that would be overwritten by the creation process.

Either try using a new directory name, or remove the conflicting files.

#HH17: Invalid big number

Hardhat attempted to convert the input value to a BigInt, but no known conversion method was applicable to the given value.

#HH18: Corrupted lockfile

Some versions of NPM are affected by a bug that leads to corrupt lockfiles being generated.

This bug can only affect you if you, or someone at your team, installed the project without a lockfile, but with an existing node_modules.

To avoid it, please delete both your node_modules and package-lock.json, and reinstall your project.

Note that you don't need to do this every time you install a new dependency, but please make sure to delete your node_modules every time you delete your package-lock.json.

#HH19: Hardhat config with .js extension in an ESM project

Your project is an ESM project but your Hardhat config uses the .js extension. Hardhat config files cannot be an ES module. To fix this, rename your Hardhat config to use the .cjs extension.

#HH20: Initializing a TypeScript sample project in an ESM project

One of your calls sent or received an invalid JSON-RPC DATA value.

Please double check your calls' parameters and keep your Ethereum node up to date.

#HH113: Invalid `data` param when calling eth_signTypedData_v4.
