Problem with devDependencies ( chai / waffle / toolbox)

[Astronaut828]

Hello, I am currently on lesson 9 and sure enough Raffle.test.js is giving me problems at .to.be.revertedWith("Raffle__NotEnoughETHEntered")
I researched it and everything pointed to installing the @nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox package.
After doing so, I am getting nothing but errors and conflicting packages.
Currently, I am facing:

 hh test
Error HH210: Redefinition of task verify failed. Unsupported operation adding positional param definitions in an overridden task.

HardhatError: HH210: Redefinition of task verify failed. Unsupported operation adding positional param definitions in an overridden task.

    at Object.<anonymous> (/workspaces/SolidityCourse/hh-solidity/hardhat-smartcontract-lottery/hardhat.config.js:3:1)

all deploys and tests worked fine until here.

my package.json looks like this:

{
  "devDependencies": {
    "@chainlink/contracts": "^0.6.1",
    "@nomicfoundation/hardhat-chai-matchers": "^2.0.2",
    "@nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox": "^3.0.0",
    "@nomiclabs/hardhat-ethers": "npm:hardhat-deploy-ethers",
    "@nomiclabs/hardhat-etherscan": "^3.1.7",
    "chai": "^4.3.7",
    "dotenv": "^16.3.1",
    "ethereum-waffle": "^4.0.10",
    "ethers": "^6.4.0",
    "hardhat": "^2.17.1",
    "hardhat-contract-sizer": "^2.10.0",
    "hardhat-deploy": "^0.11.36",
    "hardhat-gas-reporter": "^1.0.9",
    "prettier": "^3.0.2",
    "prettier-plugin-solidity": "^1.1.3",
    "solhint": "^3.6.1",
    "solidity-coverage": "^0.8.4"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "@nomicfoundation/hardhat-ethers": "^3.0.4",
    "@nomicfoundation/hardhat-verify": "^1.0.0",
    "@typechain/ethers-v6": "^0.4.0",
    "@typechain/hardhat": "^8.0.0",
    "@types/mocha": ">=9.1.0",
    "hardhat-shorthand": "^1.0.0",
    "ts-node": ">=8.0.0",
    "typescript": ">=4.5.0"
  }
}

and the head section of my hardhat.config.js like this:

require("@nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox")
//require("@nomiclabs/hardhat-waffle")
require("@nomiclabs/hardhat-etherscan")
require("hardhat-deploy")
require("solidity-coverage")
require("hardhat-gas-reporter")
require("hardhat-contract-sizer")
require("dotenv").config()

any help would be more then appreciated.

if i remove "@nomicfoundation/hardhat-verify": "^1.0.0",
i receive:

Error HH801: Plugin @nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox requires the following dependencies to be installed: @nomicfoundation/hardhat-network-helpers, @nomicfoundation/hardhat-verify, ethers.
Please run: npm install --save-dev "@nomicfoundation/hardhat-network-helpers@^1.0.0" "@nomicfoundation/hardhat-verify@^1.0.0" "ethers@^6.4.0"

I recently did it for the latest ethers version with all latest packages, you can check it out and refactor your code accordingly.
The error you provided most probably occur due to packages issue.

Thank you i managed to get it to run again.
