I cannot reproduce this. I didn't do it in that okchain network, but the error you are getting shouldn't be affected by which network you are using.

Can you double check that those reproduction steps are accurate?

[validateITNikita]

same issue with some other chain

[fvictorio]

There isn't much we can do without reproduction steps.

I have the same issue with okt chain

[Haripandey21]

The OKChain network might have some issues because when I deployed the same contract on the Goerli network, it functioned perfectly. You can find the deployed address here: https://goerli.etherscan.io/address/0xfd472Ba195f2032fa8A59Ac97E031446aF434b37#code

Thank you @Haripandey21. It seems like there's nothing we can do on our side, so I'm going to close this. I suggest reaching out to someone working on that chain's node implementation (or the node provider, idk) and letting them know about this.

@fvictorio We are facing similar issue on a different chain as well. Can you specify which part of the hardhat is bugging out. So that we can track down the error from our end as well.

Can you specify which part of the hardhat is bugging out.

Sorry but I can't because no one has told me yet how to reproduce it 🤷‍♂️

@anbang @jveer634 Try adding explicit gasLimit to the deployment transaction like this:

const token = await ethers.deployContract("Token", { gasLimit: "0x1000000" });

The problem is most probably caused by an outdated ethereum node (geth < 1.9.22 or similar) which doesn't support eth_estimateGas 2'nd argument (quantity / type, see https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/apis/json-rpc/#eth_estimategas). hardhat-ethers seem to be compliant with the current API so I don't think there's an issue here.

the old version works fine, since I upgraded hardhat and typechain it caused the error

[0xtrou]

@fvictorio can we do fallback to the old estimate gas version when the newer version causes error?

[fvictorio]

@0xtrou unless I'm missing something, that behavior comes from ethers, not from our plugin, so you should try asking in their repo.
