Lesson7 create and advance hardhat project, missing node_modules, packet.jason

[Sakana-xc]

Hi guys, as I finished lesson6. I followed the instruction to set up lesson7,

First I code:

mkdir hardhat-fund-me-fcc
cd hardhat-fund-me-fcc/
code .

Then in the new window I put

yarn add --dev hardhat@2.93
yarn hardhat

Creat advanced sample project, but there was no" node-modules", and "package.jason" files. When I try to ingore this and copied both Fundme.sol and Priceconverter.sol, and run yarn hardhat compile
It returned me to the same page as yarn hardhat, which is the same when I tried to create advanced sample project.
What is going on, I am really confused, guys please help. Thank you.

Hey! You have to be sure you run the commands from the same path (in the hardhat-fund-me-fcc folder).

Then in the new window I put

Can you try running all the commands in the same window where you also create and cd into the hardhat-fund-me-fcc folder? Just to be 100% sure you're indeed running them on the same path

I think it should be in the same path, the new window I mean when I enter code . in the terminal, a new vs code poped out. Then I put yarn add --dev hardhat@2.9.3 yarn hardhat

I just deleted all the hardhat-fundme folder and started over, this time get werider..when I put "yarn hardhat" , it goes like this

(base) macbooks-MacBook:hardhat-fund-me-fcc cong1$ yarn hardhat
yarn run v1.22.15
warning package.json: No license field
$ /Users/cong1/node_modules/.bin/hardhat

This output shows that hardhat has already been succesfully initialized in the folder and you should be good to go. If you want to initialize it again I would recommend deleting the folder and starting from scratch, but you can also try to just delete the hardhat.config.js file and then run the yarn hardhat command again

Sorry I missed your answer here TAT. Yes it seems I already had my hardhat.config.js somewhere, I used the yarn hardhat --verbose to find it out then delete it. After that everything is fixed. Thankyou.

Happy to hear it worked out. Happy coding!
