Error in plugin solidity-coverage: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'events')

[EricTES]

Hi all,

So I've installed the solidity coverage with the command "yarn add solidity-coverage --dev" and required it in the hardhat config file.
However I am still getting the error shown below when I run the "yarn hardhat coverage" command. Any ideas as to why?

Version
=======
> solidity-coverage: v0.8.0

Instrumenting for coverage...
=============================

> SimpleStorage.sol

Compilation:
============

Nothing to compile

@EricTES Push your code to GitHub and leave a link here, It looks like a compilation issue.

@Noveleader Your code is working make sure to delete the node_modules folder and install them again.

not the OP but I'm having the same issue. Tried deleting and reinstalling node_modules still same issue

[Noveleader]

did it work?

Yeah it worked, uninstalling node modules helped

Hi, I have also run into the exact same error. I have deleted and reinstalled my node modules as well with no luck of resolving

I tried uninstalling and installing but it didn't fix work. Then a saw this warning in the logs.
warning " > solidity-coverage@0.8.2" has incorrect peer dependency "hardhat@^2.11.0".
installing that specific hard hat version fixed the issue

Thank you.

Hi.

I ran into the same issue and I fixed it with deleting solidity coverage's node_module and reinstalling an older version:

yarn add --dev solidity-coverage@0.7.20

This is the only thing that worked for me, thanks!
