Hi @Guard_Colombia,

I suggest going through the following guide to ensure that you have your test environment setup: https://docs.openzeppelin.com/learn/writing-automated-tests#setting-up-a-testing-environment

Make sure you're running npx hardhat test instead of npx hardhat run test. That tripped me over and resulted in the same Reference error.

I am having the same error.

:computer: Environment :
hardhat solidity 0.8.7

ReferenceError: describe is not defined

I'm running :

npx hardhat run test/Botminator.js --network hardhat

try

npx hardhat test test/Botminator.js
