Hex data is odd-length intermittent error

[stevenbalagtas]

When trying to instantiate a new ethers.Wallet instance, I would intermittently get the following error:
Hex error: [Unhandled promise rejection: Error: hex data is odd-length (argument="value", value="0x4c83c50a7c83226001bfdad7320207a43fecb5cf446f8182f9f2d4235a0fd41a4ca0991e074f180e5433c2efd003c9405ad1d6f84100762e1985822d94a6d3e", code=INVALID_ARGUMENT, version=bytes/5.0.2)]

It would happen maybe around 1 out of 20 times.

let newWallet = new ethers.Wallet( ethers.utils.hexValue(kp.privateKey), provider );

Where kp.privateKey is a Uint8Array.

The hexValue is designed to return quantity types, which are hex values, with leading zeros removed. You should be getting that error 1 out of 16 times.

You want to use ethers.utils.hexlify.

(moving to discussions; issues are for bugs and feature requests)
