'Hardhat is not compiling

I have been trying to test out hardhat. I follow the guide on https://hardhat.org/getting-started/#quick-start. I use the sample project as mentioned. When I try to compile with npx hardhat compile nothing ever gets compiled (Nothing to compile). Also artifact folder never gets created. I tried it also with different projects, inside power shell and also visual studio code and the code is never compiling. Is there something I could do to fix it?

npm install [email protected] Try this it is Working for me

Just downgrade the version of hardhat to 2.9.3 and it should work fine.

Solution 3:[3]

I am also experiencing the same hardhat error (nothing to compile). I believe it has to do with hardhat API; hopefully, it'll be fixed soon.

For anyone having the same problem, I found a fix that works for now npm install [email protected]. Hopefully future releases fix this problem.
