ethers.Wallet.createRandom() doesn't provide mnemonic

See original GitHub issue

From the documentation for ethers.Wallet.createRandom() it states:

Wallets created using this method will have a mnemonic

However, the mnemonic is not available.

This appears to be because createRandom() calls Wallet.fromMnemonic() which then generates a privateKey to create a new Wallet instance. However mnemonic is not passed through to the new Wallet instance that is returned.

Apologies for the false alarm, the issue was elsewhere.

The mnemonic is a getter, so your console.log implementation may just not be showing it. Try console.log(wallet.mnemonic). 😃
