Only getting 1 signer from getSigners()

[malm0d]

Hi there,

I'm trying to use getSigners() to get multiple signer objects, but I'm only getting one back.

Here is a snippet of my code:

const { expect } = require("chai");
require("dotenv").config();
const hre = require("hardhat");

describe("Contract Test", function () {
    ...
    it("test", async () => {
        const signer = await hre.ethere.getSigners();
        console.log(signer.length) // returns 1
    )}

And my hardhat.config.js:

require("@nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox");
require('@openzeppelin/hardhat-upgrades');
require("dotenv").config();

const MNEMONIC = process.env.MNEMONIC;
const PK = process.env.PK;

/** @type import('hardhat/config').HardhatUserConfig */
module.exports = {
  solidity: {
    version: "0.8.20",
    settings: {
      optimizer: {
        enabled: true,
        runs: 200
      }
    }
  },
  networks: {
    bsctestnet: {
      url: "https://data-seed-prebsc-2-s1.bnbchain.org:8545 ",
      chainId: 97,
      gas: 12400000,
      gasPrice: 20000000000,
      accounts: [PK],
      networkCheckTimeout: 999999,
      timeoutBlocks: 200,
    },
    ...
  },
  etherscan: {
  ...
  }
};

I understand from the docs that getSigners() is supposed to return an array of signers but I'm not getting it. I'm definitely missing something here. And feedback?

Sorry I figured.

In hardhat.config.js, under networks, I had to put my accounts differently to this:

accounts: {
 mnemonic: MNEMONIC
}

Now it returns multiple signers
