Compiler error: Stack too deep

Question

I am getting this error when trying to deploy my smart contract using zkSync but on a different chain (Polygon Mumbai):

CompilerError: Stack too deep. Try compiling with `--via-ir` (cli) or the equivalent `viaIR: true` (standard JSON) while enabling the optimizer. Otherwise, try removing local variables.

At some point there was a bug in v1.3.1 so try deleting all the compilers from the cache folder in /Users/<YOUR USERNAME>/Library/Caches/hardhat-nodejs/compilers-v2/zksolc/ and try again. It will download the corresponding compiler automatically.

Also, make sure you're using the latest versions of the hardhat plugins (hardhat-zksync-solc and hardhat-zksync-deploy) and the compiler.
