Avoid using Ethers.js v6.0.0?

[mgroovyank]

I tried using ethers.js v6.0.0 with hardhat. But in Lesson 7, there were dependency compatibility issues when I tried to install plugins like
hardhat-deploy and hardhat-deploy-ethers. These plugins still don't seem to work with v6.0.0 of ethers.

I hope my analysis is right and it helps others.
Please let me know, if there is any other way to use latest version of all these dependencies.

I'm able to use ethers.js v6.0.0 with the above mentioned plugins. This was possible due to latest release of [email protected]. You can find the resolved issue here: #37
Here is how my package.json looks like:

{
  "devDependencies": {
    "@chainlink/contracts": "^1.1.0",
    "@nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox": "^5.0.0",
    "hardhat": "^2.22.3",
    "hardhat-deploy": "^0.12.4",
    "hardhat-deploy-ethers": "^0.4.2"
  }
}
