Why "Nothing to compile" ?

[entin-hun]

Version of Hardhat

2.22.10

What happened?

1. in the ./contracts dir, I've saved the .sol
2. in the ./ignition/modules, I've saved x.js and ran it with npx hardhat ignition deploy ./ignition/modules/x.js --network y . It returned:

Nothing to compile
IgnitionError: IGN702: Module validation failed with reason: Invalid artifact given.
Error in plugin hardhat-ignition: Module validation failed. Check the stack trace above to identify the issue and its source code location.

3. so I've put x.sol 's version into the hardhat.config.ts , should I reload something to be recognized?

const config: HardhatUserConfig = {
  solidity: {
    compilers: [
      {
        version: "0.8.11",
        settings: {
          optimizer: {
            enabled: true,
            runs: 200,
          },
        },
      },

4. then I ran:
   npx hardhat clean --global
npx hardhat compile , returned Nothing to compile so I've repeated with yarn, same message.

Minimal reproduction steps

e.g. following Ignition quickstart with this config:

import { HardhatUserConfig } from "hardhat/config";
import "@nomicfoundation/hardhat-ethers";
import "@nomicfoundation/hardhat-verify";
import "@nomicfoundation/hardhat-ignition";
import "@foundry-rs/hardhat-forge";

const config: HardhatUserConfig = {
  solidity: {
    compilers: [
      {
        version: "0.8.26",
        settings: {
          optimizer: {
            enabled: true,
            runs: 200,
          },
          evmVersion: "paris", // Optional: You can specify the EVM version if needed
        },
      },
      {
        version: "0.8.11",
        settings: {
          optimizer: {
            enabled: true,
            runs: 200,
          },
        },
      },
      // You can add more compilers here if you need to support multiple versions
    ],
  },
  networks: {
    'gnosis-chiado-testnet': {
      url: 'https://rpc.chiadochain.net'
    },
  },
  etherscan: {
    apiKey: {
      'gnosis-chiado-testnet': 'empty'
    },
    customChains: [
      {
        network: "gnosis-chiado-testnet",
        chainId: 10200,
        urls: {
          apiURL: "https://gnosis-chiado.blockscout.com/api",
          browserURL: "https://gnosis-chiado.blockscout.com"
        }
      }
    ]
  },
  sourcify: {
    enabled: true,
    // Optional: specify a different Sourcify server
    apiUrl: "https://sourcify.dev/server",
    // Optional: specify a different Sourcify repository
    browserUrl: "https://repo.sourcify.dev",
  }
};

export default config;

I try to deploy Split.sol in contracts with this .js:

const { buildModule } = require("@nomicfoundation/hardhat-ignition/modules");
const { ethers, Network } = require("ethers");

module.exports = buildModule("Split", (m) => {
    // Load the deployer wallet from private key
    const deployerPrivateKey = process.env.OWNER_PRIVATE_KEY;
    if (!deployerPrivateKey) {
        throw new Error("Please set your OWNER_PRIVATE_KEY in the .env file");
    }
    const provider = process.env.JSON_RPC_PROVIDER;
    const deployer = new ethers.Wallet(deployerPrivateKey, provider);
    // Specify custom gas price and gas limit settings for the deployment
    const customGasPrice = 50000000000;
    const customGasLimit = 1000000;

    const split = m.contract("Split", {
        from: deployer.address, gasPrice: customGasPrice, gasLimit: customGasLimit
    });

  return { split };
});

Hi, I used your configuration and run npx hardhat compile. I get an error "Error: Must compile with ast" which is caused by @foundry-rs/hardhat-forge. This issue has been fixed in https://github.com/foundry-rs/hardhat/pull/114, but a new version of the npm package has not been released yet.

If I remove the import "@foundry-rs/hardhat-forge"; line from hardhat.config.ts, then I am able to compile the contract.
