File already exists issue for typescript version of hardhat

[MichaelFedorov]

I used basic steps for hardhat installation with their simple project. It seems hardhat-exposed doesn't work correctly for typescript version. I'm permanently getting an issue when running npx hardhat compile --force

Error: EEXIST: file already exists, mkdir '/Users/michaelfedorov/Documents/Blockchain/ERC20/contracts-exposed/ERC20.sol'

Please share your Hardhat config. Are you using other plugins?

[ilyaa123]

hardhat.config.ts:

import { HardhatUserConfig } from "hardhat/config";
import "@nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox";
import "hardhat-exposed";

const config: HardhatUserConfig = {
  solidity: "0.8.28",
};

export default config;

package.json:

"devDependencies": {
    "@nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox": "^5.0.0",
    "hardhat": "^2.22.18",
    "hardhat-exposed": "^0.3.15"
 }

When running hardhat compile --force the following error occurs:

> compile
> hardhat compile --force

An unexpected error occurred:

Error: EEXIST: file already exists, mkdir '/mnt/projects/demo-projects/solidity/books-solidity/contracts-exposed/Books.sol'

And, as I understand it, there is no typescript support?

This plugin hasn't been tested for TypeScript support.
