TypeError: customChains is not iterable

[shawnesquivel]

I have an issue when deploying my 01-deploy-fund-me.js script. When I type into command line:

yarn hardhat deploy --network goerli

I get the following error. Following the stack trace, it looks like in prober.ts, there is a destructuring of customChains which should be an array. I'm not sure where customChains comes from though.

Error Message

module.exports = async ({ getNamedAccounts, deployments }) => {

    // To change chains, use a mock
    const fundMe = await deploy("FundMe", {

        args: args, // put price feed address
        log: true,
        waitConfirmations: network.config.blockConfirmations || 1,

    // not a local network - verification needed
    if (

verify.js

const { run } = require("hardhat")
async function verify(contractAddress, args) {

        } else {
            console.error(err)
        }
    }
}

module.exports = { verify }

as per this recommendation, https://github.com/smartcontractkit/hardhat-starter-kit/issues/140 I changed my hardhat.config.js etherscan property to include the following. I'm not sure why it works, all I know is that it works - my contract was successfully verified after doing this.

module.exports = {
    etherscan: {
        apiKey: ETHERSCAN_API_KEY,
        customChains: [],
    },
}

then re-deploying

yarn hardhat deploy --network goerli

in your config file add custom chains in etherscan . etherscan: { apiKey: ETHERSCAN_API_KEY, customChains: [], },
