issue with nonce when starting a hardhat chain

[brossetti1]

when starting a new hardhat chain, then trying to do a transaction, the wallet we have set up through the mneumonic is remmebering previous transactions that dont technically exist when you restart hardhat. When trying to do a new transaction the wallet defaults to the cumulative nonce - see below - metamask defaults to nonce 8 but the hardhat chain is expecting nonce 0

Something went wrong with your minting: Error: [ethjs-query] while formatting outputs from RPC '{"value":{"code":-32603,"data":{"code":-32000,"message":"Nonce too high. Expected nonce to be 0 but got 8. Note that transactions can't be queued when automining."}}}'

cheap workaround:

go to metamask settings -> advanced -> turn edit nonce on

on each transaction - just set the nonce to the one it is expecting..

or reset the account

Hm, yup I was just going to suggest resetting your metamask account 😦

Not much else to be done that I can think of on this one
