SyntaxError: Unexpected token '('

[Yannickdjoa]

Hi all,
I'm facing an unexpected token error on my abi-coder.js file.
whenever I try to compile I have that error I have not yet put any code in the contract. just tried to compile to see if all works well and I have that error.
error seems to come from below automatic generated code on abi-coder.js file
class AbiCoder { #getCoder (param) { if (param.isArray()) { return new array_js_1.ArrayCoder(this.#getCoder(param.arrayChildren), param.arrayLength, param.name); } if (param.isTuple()) { return new tuple_js_1.TupleCoder(param.components.map((c) => this.#getCoder(c)), param.name); } switch (param.baseType) { case "address": return new address_js_1.AddressCoder(param.name); case "bool": return new boolean_js_1.BooleanCoder(param.name); case "string": return new string_js_1.StringCoder(param.name); case "bytes": return new bytes_js_1.BytesCoder(param.name); case "": return new null_js_1.NullCoder(param.name); }

here the error received

An unexpected error occurred:

@Yannickdjoa Try to remove node_modules folder and package.json or yarn.lock file and reinstall dependencies.

@Yannickdjoa Did you merge the code I pushed to your repo?

[Yannickdjoa]

Yes I just merge it and still same issue occur

[alymurtazamemon]

@Yannickdjoa not sure then, you need to figure it out yourself.

[Yannickdjoa]

thanks a lot mate for your support. you have been very helpfull.
I found the issue and it is link to the version of ethers. I had the latest version of ethers 6.2.2 and apparently there is some incompatibility.
I installed ethers 5.7.2 and now able to deploy.

I experienced the same problem and downgrading to 5.7.2 solved my issue.
