ethers.queryFilter returns TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'map')

Question

I have a typescript project using ethersjs to connect and interact with a smart contract, on a fork made with ganache. This specific code is throwing an error:

  const eventFilter: ethers.EventFilter = await governor.filters.ProposalCreated as ethers.EventFilter;

  const proposalsEvents = await governor.queryFilter(eventFilter);//FAILS

Returning:

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'map')

    at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5)

Does anybody knows why would that be?

Answer 1

The problem was the fork. Since I didn't specify a block number for the queryFilter it tried to gather info from the genesis block but it has only the last 128 block available to query from.
