Receiving this error white trying to deploy Raffle/Lottery contract on hardhat network.

An unexpected error occurred: 
Error: ERROR processing skip func of D:\props\lottery\deploy\00-deploy-mocks.js:
Error: value must be a string (argument="value", value=0.01, code=INVALID_ARGUMENT, version=units/5.7.0)

00-deploy-mocks.js

const {network} = require("hardhat"); 
const {developmentChains } = require('../helper-hardhat-cofig')

const BASE_FEE = ethers.utils.parseEther('0.25')
const GAS_PRIZE_LINK = 1e9;
const args = [BASE_FEE, GAS_PRIZE_LINK];


module.exports = async ({ getNamedAccounts, deployments }) => {
    const { deploy, log } = deployments;
    const { deployer } = await getNamedAccounts();

    if(developmentChains.includes(network.name)){
        // deploy VRFCoordimatorV2 mock contract
        log("Local network detected. Deploying mocks....");
        await deploy("VRFCoordinatorV2Mock", {
            from: deployer,
            args: args,
            log: true,
            waitConfirmations: network.config.blockConfirmations || 1,
        })
        log("Mock deployed!");
    } 
}

module.exports.tags = ['all', 'mocks'];

@bijabhai-fatima Not sure, it looks correct. Please leave your repo so I can test it locally.

Here is my repo.

@bijabhai-fatima In the helper-hardhat.config.js file, you need to pass value in string form parseEther.

- entranceFee: ethers.utils.parseEther(0.01),
+ entranceFee: ethers.utils.parseEther("0.01"),
