Issue with the solidityPack() from ethers.utils

See original GitHub issue

Ethers Version

^5.7.1

Search Terms

solidityPack, value out of range, BigNumber

Describe the Problem

I am getting value out of range error when I try to use the solidityPack() method from ethers.utils (refer the code snippet). The language used is JavaScript(React_Native).

Code Snippet

//Note: The address variable here stands for the address of ethereum wallet
const dataGenerated =
            "0x" +
            ethers.utils.hexZeroPad(ethers.BigNumber.from(ethers.utils.parseUnits("0.00000001", 
            18)).toHexString(), 32).substring(2) +
            ethers.utils.hexZeroPad(ethers.utils.hexlify((address.length - 2)/2), 32).substring(2) +
            address.substring(2);

const encodedData = ethers.utils.solidityPack(["uint256"],[dataGenerated]);
