I want to check if the ether balance of an account decreased after the transaction using changeEtherBalance I tried to follow the waffle docs but couldn't do it either.
await token.connect(addr1).mint(1, {value: ethers.utils.parseEther("0.1")}))
.to.changeEtherBalance(addr1, -(ethers.utils.parseEther("0.1"))
);
Error:
Error: overflow (fault="overflow", operation="BigNumber.from", value=-100000000000000000, code=NUMERIC_FAULT, version=bignumber/5.5.0)
You can see more information here. Basically you should send the recipient and the amount:
await expect(() => wallet.sendTransaction({to: walletTo.address, value: 200}))
.to.changeEtherBalance(walletTo, 200);
changeEtherBalance is what you need to use, you need another validation thats checks the new balance and compares it with the previous one

ethers.provider.getBalance(address), but really wanted to try using this method. Thanks anyway :)
I just found what I should have done, it's pretty simple:
await token.connect(addr1).mint(1, {value: ethers.utils.parseEther("0.1")}))
.to.changeEtherBalance(addr1, ethers.utils.parseEther("-0.1"));
