Typescript / hardhat / yarn /powershell

Please i need to debug my script

[mcgrane5]

see the top line. it says type error id must be of type string, recieved undefined. this means that you have a runtime bug where your id isnt getting defined, hence typescript is throwing this type error. revie your code and see where your defining the Id var and use console.logs to see why its not getting defined. paste your code in here i can help you

ok doesnt seem to be any issues with your code. except can i ask what command your running the script with. I see in this block of code

//What happens when we deploy to our hardhat network?
    if (network.config.chainId === 4 && process.env.ETHERSCAN_API_KEY) {
        console.log("Waiting for block confirmations ...")
        await simpleStorage.deployTransaction.wait(6)
        await verify(simpleStorage.address, [])
    }

that your trying to deploy to the network which has chainID of 4. whiat networ is this. I dont know any network that has its chainId as 4. unless you have specifically defined hardhat to assign to chainId 4 in your hardhat.Config.js file. if you are trying to runt script on hardhat your comman should be something similar to
npx hardhat run scripts/yourScript.ts --network hardhat

if this isnt the issue and the above block isnt being entered i would imagine its failing because you cant evrify a contract on hardhat as its a local network. you should do it on a testnet like goerli or something

I deploy this script in hardhat network
I use this in powershell

Yarn hardhat run scripts/deploy.ts --network hardhat
