Lesson 6: getAddress is not a function

[TrudyCyns]

When I try to deploy the contact I get an error. Below is the main function in the deploy.ts file.

async function main() {
  const SimpleStorageFactory = await ethers.getContractFactory("SimpleStorage");
  console.log("Deploying SimpleStorage...");

  const simpleStorage = await SimpleStorageFactory.deploy();
  await simpleStorage.deployed();
  console.log("Contract deployed to address: ", simpleStorage.address);
}

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

I have tried the following:

• Downgrading ethers to 5.7.2 - the error persists
• Replacing @nomicfoundation/hardhat-ethers with @nomiclabs/hardhat-ethers - all files importing ethers from hardhat were flagged as ethers not existing in the package
• Having both @nomicfoundation/hardhat-ethers and @nomiclabs/hardhat-ethers and removing ethers - the error persists
• Directly providing my wallet address as an argument to deploy() - same error

Here is my package.json:

I have this with ethers v6:

import { getAddress } from "ethers"
import { ethers, run, network } from "hardhat"

async function main() {
    const SimpleStorageFactory = await ethers.getContractFactory(
        "SimpleStorage"
    )

    console.log("Deploying contract...")
    const simpleStorage = await SimpleStorageFactory.deploy()
    await simpleStorage.waitForDeployment()
    console.log(`Deployed contract to: ${await simpleStorage.getAddress()}`)

[TrudyCyns]

async function main() {
  const SimpleStorageFactory = await ethers.getContractFactory("SimpleStorage");
  console.log("Deploying SimpleStorage...");

  const simpleStorage = await SimpleStorageFactory.deploy();
  await simpleStorage.waitForDeployment();
  console.log("Contract deployed to address: ", await simpleStorage.getAddress());
}

I changed deploy() to waitForDeployment() and address() to getAddress() and managed to deploy.
