Describe the bug

Hi!

I am running into an issue when I run the command yarn hardhat test on this line in my test file:

await ethers.getContract("MockV3Aggregator", deployer);

Error Traceback:

FundMe
     "before each" hook for "should deploy a contract":
   TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'getContract')
    at Context.<anonymous> (test/unit/fundme.test.js:12:25)

test file

My test folder has only one file which looks like this:

const { deployments, ethers, getNamedAccounts } = require("hardhat");
const { assert } = require("chai");

describe("FundMe", async () => {
  let fundMe;
  let mock;
  beforeEach(async () => {
    //deploy fundMe using hardhat-deploy
    await deployments.fixture("all");
    //get the contract instance
    const { deployer } = await getNamedAccounts();
    mock = await ethers.getContract("MockV3Aggregator", deployer);
    fundMe = await ethers.getContract("FundMe", deployer);
  });
  describe("Constructor", async () => {
    it("should deploy a contract", async () => {
      const address = await fundMe.getPriceFeedAddress();
      assert.equal(address, mock.address);
    }).timeout(5000);
  });
});

After some debugging I found that one more person ran into the same problem and he ran this command to solve it:

npm install --save-dev @nomiclabs/hardhat-ethers@npm:hardhat-deploy-ethers ethers

when I try running this I get:
