Wrong instruction for interacting with localhost node ? about hardhat-starter-kit HOT 4 CLOSED

Ok thanks for your feedback :)

The local network should be launched before starting the deployment. Otherwise, the script will exit before reaching the instruction log line.

The npx hardhat console instruction allows the interaction with the smart contracts. See more details about this instruction here.

@fabioDMFerreira when I run npx hardhat deploy without launching local network, the script (00_Deploy_Mocks.js) runs until the end. Maybe I don't get your point ...

That's odd, you shouldn't be able to deploy to a local network if you don't have any node running. Wondering where the smart contracts are being deployed.

The correct command to interact with the deployed smart contracts is npx hardhat console. The npx hardhat node is used to launch a node in the local network.
