Error when running the hardhat - coverage task

[harrisonsmith32]

Hi, I am receiving an error when attempting to run yarn hardhat coverage in the terminal. The error is "Error in plugin solidity-coverage: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'events')".

I found another discussion thread with the same error and the tagged solution was to uninstall and reinstall the node_modules folder, which I believe I successfully completed and it did not resolve the issue at hand. I left a comment under that thread, but have not yet heard back. If anybody could assist I would greatly appreciate it!

@harrisonsmith32 Leave the tag no to that discussion, I will see it.

You should use a different version of it because sometimes versions do these issues, so try a different one.

Hi, thanks for reaching out. Does this pertain to the hardhat version or the solidity-coverage version? I have attempted earlier versions of both (from around the time of tutorial publishing) and it still does not seem to work. @alymurtazamemon

Please push to GitHub. I will try doing the same to look into it.

I'd been having this issue too and just got it to work by switching to the LTS node version (used NVM to switch to node version 16.17.1) and then installing solidity coverage via npm instead of yarn. No idea why this worked, but hope it helps!

This worked! Thank you
