Local network not restarting for every run

[ohaponiuk]

I noticed that when I run tests with hardhat-watcher on local hardhat network if I spam tests, signers' balances don't reset and I get weird bugs where they don't have enough funds because they used them in the previous run of the same test.

@xanderdeseyn Is there any update on this? I'm having the same issue.

Same here. I have issues when using evm_increaseTime and the test restart sometime and local hardhat is not restarted

@ohaponiuk , are you resetting it via await hre.network.provider.send("hardhat_reset") ?

It doesn't work properly. Using only in the function that I need to reset causes this:

@nomicfoundation/hardhat-chai-matchers/src/internal/reverted/reverted.ts:31
          receipt.status === 0,
                  ^
TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'status')

The idea of using loadFixture from hardhat is already to have a clean and reset node in each test, without the necessity to use beforeEach and afterEach (which will break if you try to reset the node state again). It works when running tests without test watcher, even if you use many time travel functions.

can you provide a MRE please?
