Argument of type 'BigIntLike' is not assignable... in Account.ts

[geby9469]

Problem: bytesToBigInt possibly returns a type like BigIntLike. but the Account constructor expects strictly bigint.

figure1. Overall code.

figure2. Account argument 'nonce' is bigint.

figure. but parameter is type of BigIntLike.

Hi there, you are absolutely right! Actually, the Account constructor is intended not to be used directly - instead, createAccount should be used. This is missing from our docs and we will add this.

Which version of @ethereumjs/util are you using? This will be added to our next breaking releases (we have released a RC versions: #3886) which should be published soon.

At the moment, I have removed the packages and unfortunately do not recall the specific versions I had used. I had followed the instructions provided in the installation guide.

Ok, likely our latest release, 9.1.0. If you want to try out the new features, check out our RCs :) We will update the docs! 😄 👍
