Hey @Asad45AsRa, can you give us more context here, are you trying to install @nomicfoundation/hardhat-ignition?

Or is it that you are trying to update the toolbox?

Seeing this as well when trying to install the latest toolbox following the docs

@kanej I'm using yarn

What package manager are you using? Is this npm/yarn/pnpm?

yarn doesn't automatically install peer dependencies as npm does. The equivalent install for yarn for the @nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox toolbox would be:

yarn add --dev @nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox @nomicfoundation/hardhat-ignition @nomicfoundation/hardhat-ignition-ethers @nomicfoundation/hardhat-network-helpers @nomicfoundation/hardhat-chai-matchers @nomicfoundation/hardhat-ethers @nomicfoundation/hardhat-verify chai@4 ethers hardhat-gas-reporter solidity-coverage @typechain/hardhat typechain @typechain/ethers-v6

But I used the same yarn command on the docs that also includes the long list incl peer deps

I have done a run through locally on a new Hardhat project, installed via yarn and with then installed @nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox with the command above. I didn't see an error message - it installed cleanly.

What error message are you seeing?

Oh yeah a fresh new hardhat project worked. I was trying to run the install command / upgrade deps in an existing hardhat project. I did try removing node_modules and lockfile. Still same.

In the end, ended up generating a new HH project and copying over the deps list in package.json
