Getting type error when running hardhat compile

I’m relatively new to Typescript but not so much ethers, have been using it + hardhat & waffle for a bit now. I was refactoring an older codebase to TS to learn & I quickly figured out I needed typechain to save my sanity (it’s truly awesome btw).

I’ve read the docs & everything seems to be straightforward, I’ve installed the correct packages & versions per the examples given. However, I keep running into this error when running hardhat compile:

TypeError: (0 , typechain_1.glob) is not a function

I’ve tried uninstalling & reinstalling everything (saw somewhere that someone fixed this by reinstalling waffle after typechain so tried that as well) and I just can’t seem to get it to work after a few hours of debugging.

Dev dependencies are here:

"devDependencies": {
    "@nomiclabs/hardhat-ethers": "^2.0.4",
    "@nomiclabs/hardhat-waffle": "^2.0.3",
    "@typechain/hardhat": "^4.0.0",
    "@types/node": "17.0.8",
    "@types/react": "17.0.38",
    "autoprefixer": "^10.4.2",
    "chai": "^4.3.4",
    "eslint": "8.6.0",
    "eslint-config-next": "12.0.8",
    "ethereum-waffle": "^3.4.0",
    "ethers": "^5.5.3",
    "hardhat": "^2.8.2",
    "postcss": "^8.4.5",
    "tailwindcss": "^3.0.18",
    "typechain": "^4.0.1",
    "typescript": "4.5.4"
  }

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Boom! Updating the typechain & @typechain/ethers-v5 got it done for me. Very interesting, it would appear that when spinning up the hardhat project & installing the usual dependencies (namely Waffle), Waffle is using a super old version of Typechain that will also cause dependency tree errors if not updated manually.

Thank you @krzkaczor !! I really appreciate it man, will make sure to check for these older versions getting snuck in there moving forward

@0xGenghisGoose np. I am gonna pressure waffle team to move typechain to peer dep and bump it. It should fix this issue.
