Tasks

start-fork --chain <chain> --port <port>

Starts a fork-net, pretty self-explanatory.

The chains are defined in the .env file. Refer to .env.example` file for reference. Refer to getNewFork to see how the forks are started. It retrieves the rpc from getRpc.

This generates a glueConfig.json for the glue service to use. It also generates a runningForks.json file to keep track of the running forks.

pnpm task start-fork --chain ethereum --port 6969

> @decent.xyz/houndry-toolkit@1.0.23 task /Users/arshankhanifar/trying_shit/houndry-toolkit
> hardhat "start-fork" "--chain" "ethereum" "--port" "6969"

running command: anvil -p 6969 -f https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/b51ad11ef8684195bf1b0e1cce635d67
started new fork at :{
  "chain": "ethereum",
  "pid": 90176,
  "port": 6969
}

start-forks --chains <chain1,chain2>

Starts forks of comma-separated chains, starts the ports from 8545 and goes up from there.

start-glue

Starts the glue service. The glueConfig.json will have already been generated through running start-fork and start-forks.

stop-glue

Stops the glue service.

list-forks

Shows all the currently running forks:

pnpm task list-forks

> @decent.xyz/houndry-toolkit@1.0.23 task /Users/arshankhanifar/trying_shit/houndry-toolkit
> hardhat "list-forks"

chain: ethereum - port: 6969 - pid: 90176
chain: arbitrum - port: 6970 - pid: 93002

stop-all-forks

Stops all running forks.

Forknet Logs

There's a .forks/ directory created, where you can see the logs generated by each forked network.

You can also watch the logs by running tail -f. For instance, if you have a fork of ethereum running, run:

tail -f ./.forks/ethereum.log

And that shows u the live logs.
