Hardhat version changed from 2.6.1 to 2.1.2 after running "npm install" command

[changzhi1990]

Hi, all

Recently, I encounter a problem when running "npm hardhat compile". Here are the detailed steps:

➜  amm-arbitrageur git:(master) npx hardhat --version
2.6.1
➜  amm-arbitrageur git:(master) npm install --save-dev ts-node typescript

added 1282 packages in 1m

85 packages are looking for funding
run `npm fund` for details
➜  amm-arbitrageur git:(master) ✗ npx hardhat --version
2.1.2

Why the version of hardhat has been changed from 2.6.1 to 2.1.2?

Actually, I encounter the same issue here. The terminal was stuck when downloading the compiler. After some investigation, I find the fix of this issue has been merged. So I want to use the latest hardhat version.

I have no idea when the hardhat version has been changed.

Could someone give me some advice? BTW, my OS is macOS.

Thanks.

This seems to be related to how you are using npm or yarn. My guess is that you have a lock file that uses that version, or maybe just your package.json has that version.
