TypeError: contractAddresses[chainId].includes is not a function

[kihiuFrank]

I'm deploying my contract and I want to update the front-end with the contract addresses and the ABI. But the update fails with the error below. What I'm I doing wrong?

Error

Updating front end...
An unexpected error occurred:

Update Frontend Script

const fs = require("fs");
require("dotenv").config();

const {

  frontEndAbiLocation,
} = require("../helper-hardhat-config");

module.exports = async function () {

  }
};

  //   fs.writeFileSync(
  //     `${frontEndAbiLocation}SaveAKid.json`,
  //     saveAKid.interface.format(ethers.utils.FormatTypes.json)
  //   );
  fs.writeFileSync(
    frontEndAbiLocation,
    saveAKid.interface.format(ethers.FormatTypes.json)
  );
}

async function updateContractAddresses() {

  const chainId = network.config.chainId.toString();
  const contractAddresses = JSON.parse(
    fs.readFileSync(frontEndContractFile, "utf8")
  );
  if (chainId in contractAddresses) {

      contractAddresses[chainId].push(saveAKid.address);
    }
  } else {
    contractAddresses[chainId] = { SaveAKid: [saveAKid.address] };
  }
  fs.writeFileSync(frontEndContractFile, JSON.stringify(contractAddresses));
}

module.exports.tags = ["all", "frontend"];
