hardhatracer v1.1.0-rc.6

hardhat-tracer 🕵️

Allows you to see events, calls and storage operations when running your tests.

• Installation
• Usage
  • Test: See debug trace when running test
  • Trace: Task to generate call tree for a transaction
  • Calldata decoder: Task to simply decode an encoded data
  • Address name tags: Set alias for addresses with name

Installation

Step 1: Install the package

npm i hardhat-tracer

Step 2: Add to your hardhat.config.js file

require("hardhat-tracer");

Usage

Test

Just add the --trace or --fulltrace after your test command.

npx hardhat test --trace      # shows logs + calls
npx hardhat test --fulltrace  # shows logs + calls + sloads + sstores

You can just enable trace some code snippet in your tests:

hre.tracer.enable = true;
await myContract.doStuff(val2);
hre.tracer.enable = false;

Trace

You can trace a mainnet transaction and ABIs/artifacts in your project will be used to decode the internal message calls.

npx hardhat trace --hash 0xTransactionHash # works if mainnet fork is on
npx hardhat trace --hash 0xTransactionHash --rpc https://url # must be archive node

Calldata decoder

If you are just looking for a quick decode of calldata or Solidity's Custom Error:

$ npx hardhat decode --data 0x095ea7b300000000000000000000000068b3465833fb72a70ecdf485e0e4c7bd8665fc45ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

Address name tags

You can set display names / name tags for unknown addresses by adding new entry to hre.tracer.nameTags object in your test cases, see following example:

hre.tracer.nameTags[this.arbitrager.address] = "Arbitrager";

or can be set in hardhat config

tracer: {
    nameTags: {
        '0xf39fd6e51aad88f6f4ce6ab8827279cfffb92266': 'Hunter',
        [someVariable]: 'MyContract',
    },
},
