[Bug-Candidate]: slither . doesn't work on Docker image with error message KeyError: 'ast'

[0xdamon]

Describe the issue:

I ran

docker run -it -v <PATH_TO_HARDHAT_PROJECT>:/share trailofbits/eth-security-toolbox

then within the container, in the /share folder I ran slither .

I got the following error message

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/ethsec/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/slither/__main__.py", line 744, in main_impl
    ) = process_all(filename, args, detector_classes, printer_classes)

    compilations = compile_all(target, **vars(args))

I was able to replicate this by pip3 install and run on my local machine instead.

Hi @0xdamon, thanks for the report. Could you share the hardhat config file your project uses here?
