Thanks for the delivery, @WookashWackomy. I am currently working my way through the documentation. However, when I run npm i on the example project, I get

> npm i
npm ERR! code ETARGET
npm ERR! notarget No matching version found for @c-forge/typechain-compiler@^0.5.16.
npm ERR! notarget In most cases you or one of your dependencies are requesting
npm ERR! notarget a package version that doesn't exist.

It looks like the most recent version is 0.2.0, maybe you forgot to publish it?

Hi @semuelle , sorry you've encountered this issue. We've missed the refinement of that particular docs file. It's updated now, additionally couple of fixups made along the way merged in. Regarding version - 0.2.2 is the newest one (reflected in docs). Gonna handle the versioning in milestone 2, during ironing out the last details.

Also, the whole example project that's being laid down in the document you've tried to go through was integrated into the repository. https://github.com/C-Forge/typechain-polkadot/tree/main/examples/typechain-compiler-example.

Should be all good now!

Thanks for the update, I'll try again. Is this line right?

Sorry, I am now following the testing guide, and pnpm run test keeps failing with missing packages (fs-extra, handlebars, globby, ...). Did I miss a step?

Hey, as long as you run pnpm i beforehand it should be all good. We've verified that today and the packages install properly for us, I don't really know why would it fail for you. The only thing that come to my mind is that you use npm instead of pnpm and the install command does not install dependencies for workspace packages (hence the behavior you've experienced).

That being said - we've added npm workspace support to support npm <something> workspace wide commands (meaning npm i & npm run test or npm run build --workspaces --if-present will work as well as the mentioned in README.md's pnpm i, pnpm run test or pnpm -r build commands.

If you pull main, run install command and it still's failing - please let me know. Could be something OS/environmental.... If possible over Element (@Lukas7980:matrix.org), telegram: @WookashWackomy or Discord (@WookashWackomy) so I can help better/quicker

Hi @WookashWackomy, thanks for the fixes. I am happy to report that your milestone is hereby accepted. Other than the minor issue with the testing instructions, everything worked out of the box. Much appreciated! You can find my evaluation notes here.
