TypeError: (0 , ethers_1.getAddress) is not a function

[wwwbaraccuda]

I got an error like this :

An unexpected error occurred:

Error: ERROR processing C:\Users\LENOVO\hh-fcc\hardhat-smartcontract-lottery-fcc\deploy\01-deploy-raffle.js:

This is my code for 00-deploy-raffle :

module.exports = async function ({ getNamedAccounts, deployments }) {

    const { deployer } = await getNamedAccounts()

    let vrfCoordinatorV2Address, subscriptionId

    if (developmentChains.includes(network.name)) {
        const vrfCoordinatorV2Mock = await ethers.getContract("VRFCoordinatorV2Mock")
        vrfCoordinatorV2Address = vrfCoordinatorV2Mock.address
        const transactionResponse = await vrfCoordinatorV2Mock.createSubscription()

    const raffle = await deploy("Raffle", {
        from: deployer,

    if (!developmentChains.includes(network.name) && process.env.ETHERSCAN_API_KEY) {

I currently using ethers v5. This is my package.json :

and this is my hardhat.config :

        },
        player: {
            default: 1,
        },
    },
}

I'm not sure what's wrong with this. Can someone help?

Hello @wwwbaraccuda

It seems that you have used incorrect syntax of getting address. In v6 ethers you should be getting address like .getAddress() it looks like you have used .getAddress instead in your 01-deploy-raffle.js and you have showed us code for 00-deploy-raffle so please check your repository and that should fix your issue once you correct syntax. As you are using ethers v5 it should not be .getAddress or .getAddress() but instead you should always use .address property to get address, so issue should be in your 01-deploy-raffle whatever this code is.

If above is not the case, please link your repo

So if I reinstalled my dependencies with "@nomiclabs/hardhat-ethers": "npm:hardhat-deploy-ethers", but I have kept my yarn.lock this just downloaded previous version of @nomiclabs/hardhat-ethers (as I was doing this lesson like few months ago) is that right? If I remove yarn.lock and reinstall dependencies, my repo will be bugged and dependent of ethers v6 i assume.

Yes I have just tested it, thanks a lot @alfaqi !!!! <3 It was hunting me for like 2 hours today haha

Hi @Neftyr

any idea why is that?

I think the issue is with linking (pointing) between the libraries.

So if I reinstalled my dependencies with "@nomiclabs/hardhat-ethers": "npm:hardhat-deploy-ethers", but I have kept my yarn.lock this just downloaded previous version of @nomiclabs/hardhat-ethers (as I was doing this lesson like few months ago) is that right?

yarn.lock file is autogenerated file, if you change the dependency version in the package.json, the lock file will be updated to reflect that.

If I remove yarn.lock and reinstall dependencies, my repo will be bugged and dependent of ethers v6 i assume.

I assume that too

You are welcome, 😃

[wwwbaraccuda]

sorry for the late reply.

Somehow the problem was solved by migrating from ether 5 to ether 6 and change some of the syntax as well. Here's my repo

Cheers

@wwwbaraccuda

The whole issue has been described by me and alfaqui mate, so there should be no word "somehow" in your message haha 😃
