Hardhat disallows global installation npx hardhat compiile --force

[Pet3ris]

It seems that Hardhat now disallows compilation from a global installation (https://hardhat.org/errors/#HH12).

This is what I'm getting when running npx hardhat compile --force on a local Hardhat project:

Error HH12: Trying to use a non-local installation of Hardhat, which is not supported.
Please install Hardhat locally using npm or Yarn, and try again.

It seems that slither is using this as a default setting. Any ideas for a workaround other --hardhat-ignore-compile?

I'm always using a local installation to run slither, usually like this:

$ npm i
$ PATH=$PATH:./node_modules/.bin slither .

Does this mean slither is globally installed or in your active python environment? I was running this from a mono repo with a protocol folder (hardhat) and a python folder for the slither-analyzer dependency managed by poetry.

I just tried installing it in the local virtual environment and running like so:

slither .

However, I'm still getting the following output:

'npx hardhat compile --force' running

Hi @Pet3ris, you are right, and it seems that hardhat does not work anymore with global installation, so npx is not useful anymore, thanks for pointing this out.

I am moving the discussion to crytic/crytic-compile#208. A quick workaround is to use --npx-disable
