Postinstall fail on windows

[technophile-04]

Its seems that there is some problem when resolving the path while creating the generated file.

Sharing below a SS from the TG group facing an issue :

Its seems its resolving c:\c:\ instead of c:\

We should have a proper way to test this. VM on linux/macOS? XD

@ZakGriffith are you still on windows? If so, could you try?

Also, maybe we should just un-gitignore hardhat_contracts.ts? @sverps mentioned at some point.

• If you connect your GH repo to vercel, and want to interact with a live contract with your dapp....you need to un-gitignore and commit the file

Thoughts?

Yeah maybe that's better. We'll need to worry a lot less about build pipelines and the postinstall script etc.

When we make changes to the contract for testing stuff, we need to be mindful of not committing that one anayway, might as well keep an extra eye out for changes to hardhat_contracts file from being committed by accident.

Ok, let's go with it and see how it feels.

#278

i'm on windows and just needed to change this. not sure if it'll affect mac users though
const __dirname = path.dirname(new URL(import.meta.url).pathname).slice(1);

This issue will be fixed with #278

In any case, we need to have keep this in mind for future scripts :)

Closing this in favour of #278
