"npx hardhat accounts" not available in Hardhat latest version 2.9.9

I have installed the latest version of hardhat. It installed fine.

After setting hardhat up and installing all the required packages, when I run:

npx hardhat accounts

It gives an error:

Error HH303: Unrecognized task accounts

It seems like 'account' task has been removed in the latest version of hardhat. My question is now to get the list of wallet accounts that hardhat generates?

This is because the accounts tasks is not included in the latest release. Add the following in your hardhat.config.js

task("accounts", "Prints the list of accounts", async () => {
  const accounts = await ethers.getSigners();

  for (const account of accounts) {
    console.log(account.address);
  }
});

I have the same situation on 2022-08-16.

To get the available accounts, I use the npx hardhat node command.

The command sequence I performed was:

$ npx hardhat --version
2.10.1

$ npx hardhat accounts
Error HH303: Unrecognized task accounts
For more info go to https://hardhat.org/HH303 or run Hardhat with --show-stack-traces

$ npx hardhat node

im not sure but I managed to fix this by migrating waffle to Beth chai masters as required and rm from config the waffle and add the chai masters after that could not get accounts els how than "npx hardhat node" looks like accounts are displayed when launching the node if it can help!
