"Cannot read property 'utils' of undefined" on web3.utils

Question

This is my code:

import {web3} from "hardhat"


const OWNER_ROLE = web3.utils.keccak256("OWNER_ROLE");

This is the error in my terminal:

const OWNER_ROLE = web3.utils.keccak256("OWNER_ROLE");
                        ^
TypeError: Cannot read property 'utils' of undefined

Answer 1

Are you sure that you are importing from the correct library?

I think it should be this instead:

import web3 from "web3"
