it is not possible to pass custom hardhat build info path to crytic-compile

[doncesarts]

Locally It would be possible by passing the argument hardhat-artifacts-directory for example:

slither --hardhat-artifacts-directory=build .

But as the slither args are evaluated after the compile crytic-compile it is not possible to pass this argument even if it is set on the argument slither-args

# -- calling the compiler before evaluating the extra arguments ---
crytic-compile "$TARGET" $IGNORECOMPILEFLAG

if [[ -z "$SLITHERARGS" ]]; then
    slither "$TARGET" $SARIFFLAG $IGNORECOMPILEFLAG $CONFIGFLAG
else
    echo "[-] SLITHERARGS provided. Running slither with extra arguments"
    printf "%s\n" "$SLITHERARGS" | xargs slither "$TARGET" $SARIFFLAG $IGNORECOMPILEFLAG $CONFIGFLAG
fi

Hi! Thanks for the report. This is a similar issue to the one in #3. As slither already runs crytic-compile by itself, we can probably just drop the extra call before running slither without any side effects. Once that call is gone, you should be able to specify the option through slither's config file or args.

Amazing. Thanks !
