getting this error when running any hardhat command. I am currently working on the nextjs smart contract lottery. The hardhat part was fine earlier and i was able to deploy my contract successfully. But now when trying to run the hardhat node or do other things the hardhat part of the project is giving this error.
here is my package.json-
