I got my smart contracts ready over Hardhat and once I'm running hh test all the tests are passing successfully but while running hh coverage I'm getting the below error.

Any idea why the regular tests are working but the coverage isn't?

How can this be solved?

Version
=======
> solidity-coverage: v0.7.20

Instrumenting for coverage...
=============================

> MyContract1.sol
> MyContract2.sol
> MyContract3.sol


Compilation:
============

Compiling 35 files with 0.8.6
CompilerError: Stack too deep when compiling inline assembly: Variable headStart is 1 slot(s) too deep inside the stack.


Error in plugin solidity-coverage: HardhatError: HH600: Compilation failed

    Stack too deep often appears when function is taking too may variables, or some structure has enormous amount of variables inside of it)

  • Thanks you. I still think there's more to it since regular tests are working well while coverage fails

    Yeah, that is strange. You might report that issue to the team behind HardHat. (I think you can go to their GitHub to do that.)

Add .solcover.js at the root of your project folder with the following option:

module.exports = {
  configureYulOptimizer: true
};

Take a look at these related threads:

  • Enabling yul in hardhat.config.js with details: {yul: true} worked for me but I have no idea what it does. Can you provide any explanations?
