I want to deploy a FlashLoan smart contract using hardhat, and deploy the contract on hardhat network that fork by mainnet. But when I run the deploy script, keep showing Error: cannot estimate gas; transaction may fail or may require manual gas limit. I find some solution on network like adding allowUnlimitedContractSize: true in hardhat config but this is not working for me. Does anyone know how can I fix this error?

The flash loan smart contract is from this YouTube tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtMs8FZJhkU&t=919s&ab_channel=BlockExplorer

The following code is my hardhat.config.js, deploy.js and the smart contract.

// hardhat.config.js
require('@nomiclabs/hardhat-waffle');
require('dotenv').config()

/** @type import('hardhat/config').HardhatUserConfig */
module.exports = {
  defaultNetwork: "hardhat",
  networks: {
    hardhat: {
      gas: 12000000,
      allowUnlimitedContractSize: true,
      chainId: 1,
      mining: {
        auto: false,
        interval: 30000,
      },
      forking: {
        url: process.env.PRC_URL_MAIN,
        blockNumber: 15870000,
      },
    },
    goerli: {
      url: process.env.RPC_URL,
    },
  },
  solidity: {
    version: "0.8.10",
    settings: {
      optimizer: {
        enabled: true,
        runs: 200
      }
    }
  },
  mocha: {
    timeout: 600000
  },
};

// deploy.js
const { network, ethers } = require("hardhat");
const { provider} = require("./test/src/constants.js");

const deploy = async () => {
    const accounts = await ethers.getSigners();
    const Attacker = accounts[0].address;
    console.log("Deploying contracts with the account:", Attacker);

    const FlashLoan = await ethers.getContractFactory("FlashLoan");
    const flashLoan = await FlashLoan.deploy("0xa97684ead0e402dC232d5A977953DF7ECBaB3CDb");
    await flashLoan.deployed();

}

You added allowUnlimitedContractSize: true to your hardhat.config.ts - be sure that you did it under defaultNetworks for both "hardhat" and "localhost".

In my case, the issue was with deploy.js file. I was trying to deploy the contract on Polygon Matic and on deploy.js file I forgot to change Pool Address to Polygon. So, just make sure your Pool Address matches with your deployment network.
