Lesson 6 TypeError: (0 , ethers_1.getAddress) is not a function

[Shahil-Hussain01]

I'm getting this error on running the command

yarn hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network sepolia

deploy.js:-

const { ether } = require("hardhat");

async function main() {
  const SimpleStorageFactory = await ethers.getContractFactory("SimpleStorage");
  console.log("deploying contract...");
  const simpleStorage = await SimpleStorageFactory.deploy();
  await simpleStorage.deployed();
  // no private key
  // no rpc url
  console.log(`Deployed contract to: ${simpleStorage.address}`);
  //hardhat comes with local network that's why we don't need private key and rpc url, this is very similar to ganache, so if we don't specify the network then it will deploy on hardhat network
}

main()
  .then(() => process.exit(0))
  .catch((err) => {
    console.log(err);
    process.exit(1);
  });

I figured it out!!!
we are using the latest version of hardhat and ethers so we have to make a couple of changes in our code to make it work! I'm attaching my code and the link of hardhat docs on how to deploy your contract

const { ether } = require("hardhat");

async function main() {
  const SimpleStorageFactory = await ethers.getContractFactory("SimpleStorage");
  console.log("deploying contract...");
  const simpleStorage = await SimpleStorageFactory.deploy();
  await simpleStorage.waitForDeployment();
  // no private key
  // no rpc url
  console.log(`Deployed contract to: ${simpleStorage.target}`);
  //hardhat comes with local network that's why we don't need private key and rpc url, this is very similar to ganache, so if we don't specify the network then it will deploy on hardhat network
}

main()
  .then(() => process.exit(0))
  .catch((err) => {
    console.log(err);
    process.exit(1);
  });
