const connectWallet=async()=>{
try{
    const accounts=await window.ethereum.request({
      method:"eth_requestAccounts",
    });
  const provider = new ethers.BrowserProvider(window.ethereum);
  setProvider(provider);
  const  signer = await provider.getSigner();
  setAccount(signer);
  const contractInstance = new ethers.Contract(contractAddress,contractAbi, signer);
  setContract(contractInstance);
  }catch(error){

Can you console.log the contractAddress to see what you are passing in?

[ricmoo]

I am suspecting the value for contractAddress was passed in as undefined (often happens with typos in a .env or loading from a similar source).

Closing this, but if you have more info, please re-open.

Thanks! :)

I've added a check in the top of contract to throw a more intuitive error in the event the target isn't a valid value.

Hopefully this helps future folks. :)
