Wrong output type for toBigInt

[lcswillems]

The type of an instance of BigInt is bigint.

This is important because if a and b are of type BigInt, we can't sum them for example...

Ah! You are correct! Thanks for letting me know. I’ll fix this today.

[lcswillems]

Thank you for such a fast answer!!

This should be fixed in 5.1.3.

Let me know if it works for you now. :)

[lcswillems]

I still have the same issue with 5.1.3. Return type is still BigInt.

The d.ts looks correct: https://github.com/ethers-io/ethers.js/blob/master/packages/bignumber/lib/bignumber.d.ts#L31

Can you show what your code looks like and paste the error?

[lcswillems]

I have ethers version 5.1.3. And for this version, the version of bignumber is 5.1.0 in which it is still BigInt.

Can you remove your package-lock.json, node_modules/ (and if you use yarn, the yarn lockfile), and redo npm install? That should solve the issue.

I got version 5.1.0 of Ethers because it was requested by other packages. But after removing yarn.lock, it solved the issue! Thanks a lot for your help and speed!!
