Following Step by Step Tutorial for Hardhat and get Uncaught ProviderError: out of gas

Support

I’m following the tutorial over at
Step by Step Tutorial for Hardhat

It’s working great, until I come to the console part.

When I do

(await box.retrieve()).toString()

It gives me the error

Uncaught ProviderError: out of gas
    at EthersProviderWrapper.send (C:\Users\Nano\Documents\Nano\Software\Crypto Projects\ProxyContractTest\node_modules\@nomiclabs\hardhat-ethers\src\internal\ethers-provider-wrapper.ts:13:20)
    at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:93:5)
    at LocalAccountsProvider.request (C:\Users\Nano\Documents\Nano\Software\Crypto Projects\ProxyContractTest\node_modules\hardhat\src\internal\core\providers\accounts.ts:131:34)
    at HttpProvider.request (C:\Users\Nano\Documents\Nano\Software\Crypto Projects\ProxyContractTest\node_modules\hardhat\src\internal\core\providers\http.ts:46:19)

I’ve tried a lot of different addresses to figure out what should go in
const box = await Box.attach("0xA9669fc9eacbf9e165F43358caD0AC85801DC8a5")
I’ve tried my proxy address, the open zeppelin upgradable address, and the actual contract address that I’m sending through the proxy.
It seems like none of it works.

I can get my tests to past and I can see it on the test network perfectly fine.

Using the proxy read/write I can see that my store procedures are working fine and I can get the 42, but it doesn’t work in console. It says out of gas, but my wallet has gas, otherwise I would not be able to deploy the contract. Is there some other wallet that I need to load up with gas when using the console?

What gives? Perhaps the console part is out of date somehow?

Looks like it was an issue with Gas upping in Rinkeby.
I changed my settings to this

TESTrinkeby: {
      url: alchemyapikeyrinkeby,
      accounts: [testwalpkey],
      gas: 10000000
    }

Adding an extra zero to the gas made it work.
