Module '"hardhat"' has no exported member 'ethers'-CodePudding

When I want to import ethers from hardhat it throws the error that I mentioned in the title here is a complete version

 - error TS2305: Module '"hardhat"' has no exported member 'ethers'.
 
     2 import { ethers } from "hardhat";
                ~~~~~~

Although I used it the same way in my previous projects and seen everyone doing the same

CodePudding user response：

They likely dont explicitly export ethers. In the Documentations it shows using ethers in the following way:

import hre from "hardhat";

const Lock = await hre.ethers.getContractFactory("Lock");

CodePudding user response：

I had to add these two lines to tsconfig.json

  "include": ["./test", "./src", "./scripts"],//only the "scripts" part.
  "files": ["./hardhat.config.ts"]
