Lesson7: Problem with hardhat.config.js

[ghost]

When i put the values for API Keys and Private key from the .env file I get this error

Error HH8: There's one or more errors in your config file:

  * Invalid value undefined for HardhatConfig.networks.rinkeby.url - Expected a value of type string.
  * Invalid account: #0 for network: rinkeby - Expected string, received undefined
  
To learn more about Hardhat's configuration, please go to https://hardhat.org/config/

but when i put them like this by adding || and directly putting the string values (see below code) I get no errors

const PRIVATE_KEY = process.env.PRIVATE_KEY || "xyz"
const RINKEBY_RPC_URL = process.env.RINKEBY_RPC_URL || "xyz"

any way i could resolve this?

@0xamey make sure to add this inside rinkeby object url: RINKEBY_RPC_URL, and verify that URL is coming correct by printing it on console.

@0xamey And it look like issue of account: Make sure you also have this

namedAccounts: {
    deployer: {
      default: 0,
    },
    player: {
      default: 1,
    },
  },

Update: I found the problem, my .env file was named as .env.example
Changed the file name to simply .env and the code worked
