With the lastest fuel 0.94.0 when trying to deploy a contract with this:

```auto
// Create a wallet instance from the address
const wallet = Wallet.fromPrivateKey(process.env.WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY as string);
  
// Connect to the testnet provider
const provider = await Provider.create('https://testnet.fuel.network/v1/graphql');
  
// Set the provider for the wallet
wallet.connect(provider);

const myContract = new MyContract(
  process.env.CONTRACT_ID as string,
  wallet
);

```

Errors with TS error:  
Argument of type ‘WalletUnlocked’ is not assignable to parameter of type ‘Account | Provider’.

According to docs WalletUnlocked is a child of BaseUnlocked is a child of Account

This is copying from the latest docs.  
Help appreciated.

hey @xpluscal, I think to use the wallet with a contract, you need to connect it to a provider. Can you please try this code?

```auto
import { Wallet, Provider } from 'fuels';

// Create a provider, with the Latest Testnet URL.
const provider = await Provider.create('https://testnet.fuel.network/v1/graphql');

// Create a wallet instance from the private key and connect it to the provider
const wallet = Wallet.fromPrivateKey(process.env.WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY as string, provider);

// Instantiate the contract with the wallet
const myContract = new MyContract(
  process.env.CONTRACT_ID as string,
  wallet
);

```

Hey @xpluscal 👋

I can’t see anything wrong with the code extract you’ve provided, would it be possible to share the generated types for the contract?

Also, how does this error manifest itself: is it via your IDE, or with a type checking command such as `tsc`?

Hey @p.s the issue is both a ts issue in the IDE as well as when compiling the script with TS node, I’ll run it with a ts-ignore once home.

Ps: not having the issue in our tests with launchTestNode, all tests passing there.

I do not have the same error for [local or testnet](https://gist.github.com/danielbate/92147b211fb5c22131ecc62156bad460).

You could try upgrading to `0.94.2` but that type inheritance from `Wallet` → `Account` has been around for many versions.

Could you try creating a reproduction?

Yeah hence the confusion, as this has worked smoothly ever since (until last week that is). I’ll dig
