hardhat test fails with TypeError: nativeNC failed when hardhat-gas-reporter enabled

[aczire]

Regardless of what ever I tried, hardhat-gas-reporter fails always with nativeNC failed exception. Made sure there is no eth-gas-reporter installed, and my hardhat config has only enabled: true , and removed all other options like coinmarketcap, currency, token etc. to ensure they are not causing the exception.

The tests passes successfully (with network localhost and hardhat) if I comment out or remove require("hardhat-gas-reporter"), so tests are not the problem. Tried with networks, hardhat, localhost, testnets (rinkeby, goerli), nothing helped.

Any help is much appreciated.

$ npx hardhat test --network localhost An unexpected error occurred:

Never got it working. It's working in vm. So seems that's the only workaround for me now.

Same issue for me, node 16.18.0. MacOS. Works fine same repo for Ubuntu 20 same node version.

Am testing in Node 16 locally on a Mac and it's fine. This may have self-resolved. Please ping if anyone continues to run into it.
