Issue Description

L1 contracts gets compiled successfully but L2 and system contracts encounter this error.

Hi @sachanayush47 , I ran your reproduction steps, but I wasn't able to reproduce any error. Are you using the latest version of zkstack?

[sachanayush47]

Yes, I using latest version of zkstack.

[sarahschwartz]

@sachanayush47 Thanks for confirming.

• Have you been able to get this working previously / does it seem to you that a recent change caused this?
• Can you try updating your system dependencies
• Are you consistently getting this error? Can you see if pulling the most recent commit changes anything?

[sachanayush47]

1. Yes, it was working previously. I have used this command multiple times to set up the external node.
2. I started encountering this error after updating zkSync Era and zkStack. To resolve it, I attempted rolling back to the previous version, but the issue persisted.
3. Yes, I am consistently experiencing this error. After pulling the latest updates, the L1 contracts are not compiling, which was not the case earlier.

[sarahschwartz]

Thanks for letting me know! It seems like it may be another system dependency that is out of date, as I am able to compile using the latest versions myself. Can you run through the deps on this list to update them?
