my-special-ethereum-waffle v0.2.2

Ethereum Waffle

Library for writing and testing smart contracts.

Sweeter and simpler than truffle.

Works with ethers-js. Taste best with ES6.

Philosophy

• Simpler: minimalistic, a couple of helpers, matchers and tasks rather than a framework, few dependencies.
• Sweeter: Nice syntax, fast, easy to extend.

Install:

To start using with npm, type:

npm i ethereum-waffle

or with Yarn:

yarn add ethereum-waffle

Step by step guide

Example contract

Below is example contract written in Solidity. Place it in contracts directory of your project:

pragma solidity ^0.4.24;

import "../BasicToken.sol";

contract BasicTokenMock is BasicToken {

  constructor(address initialAccount, uint256 initialBalance) public {
    balances[initialAccount] = initialBalance;
    totalSupply_ = initialBalance;
  }

}

Example test

Belows is example test written for the contract above written with Waffle. Place it in test directory of your project:

import chai from 'chai';
import {createMockProvider, deployContract, getWallets, solidity} from 'ethereum-waffle';
import BasicTokenMock from './build/BasicTokenMock';

chai.use(solidity);

const {expect} = chai;

describe('Example', () => {
  let provider;
  let token;
  let wallet;
  let walletTo;

  beforeEach(async () => {
    provider = createMockProvider();
    [wallet, walletTo] = await getWallets(provider);
    token = await deployContract(wallet, BasicTokenMock, [wallet.address, 1000]);
  });

  it('Assigns initial balance', async () => {
    expect(await token.balanceOf(wallet.address)).to.eq(1000);
  });

  it('Transfer adds amount to destination account', async () => {
    await token.transfer(walletTo.address, 7);
    expect(await token.balanceOf(wallet.address)).to.eq(993);
    expect(await token.balanceOf(walletTo.address)).to.eq(7);
  });

  it('Transfer emits event', async () => {
    await expect(token.transfer(walletTo.address, 7))
      .to.emit(token, 'Transfer')
      .withArgs(wallet.address, walletTo.address, 7);
  });

  it('Can not transfer from empty account', async () => {
    const tokenFromOtherWallet = contractWithWallet(token, walletTo);
    await expect(tokenFromOtherWallet.transfer(wallet.address, 1))
      .to.be.revertedWith('Not enough balance on sender account');
  });
});

Compile

To compile contracts simply type:

npx waffle

Run tests

To run test type in the console:

mocha

Adding a task

For convince, you can add a task to your package.json. In the sections scripts, add following line:

  "test": "waffle && test"

Now you can build and test your contracts with one command:

npm test

Features walkthrough

Import contracts from npms

Import solidity files from solidity files form npm modules that you added to your project, e.g:

import "openzeppelin-solidity/contracts/math/SafeMath.sol";

Create a mock provider

Create a mock provider (no need to run any tests!) and test your contracts against it, e.g.:

provider = createMockProvider();

Get example wallets

Get wallets you can use to sign transactions:

[wallet, walletTo] = await getWallets(provider);

Deploy contract

Deploy a contract:

token = await deployContract(wallet, BasicTokenMock, [wallet.address, 1000]);

Chai matchers

A set of sweet chai matchers, makes your test easy to write and read. Below couple of examples.

• Testing big numbers:

expect(await token.balanceOf(wallet.address)).to.eq(993);

Available matchers for BigNumbers are: equal, eq, above, below, least, most.

• Testing what events where emitted with what arguments:

await expect(token.transfer(walletTo.address, 7))
  .to.emit(token, 'Transfer')
  .withArgs(wallet.address, walletTo.address, 7);

• Testing if transaction was reverted:

await expect(token.transfer(walletTo.address, 1007)).to.be.reverted;

• Testing if transaction was reverted with certain message:

await expect(token.transfer(walletTo.address, 1007)).to.be.revertedWith('Insufficient funds');

• Testing if string is a proper address:

expect('0x28FAA621c3348823D6c6548981a19716bcDc740e').to.be.properAddress;

• Testing if string is a proper secret:

expect('0x706618637b8ca922f6290ce1ecd4c31247e9ab75cf0530a0ac95c0332173d7c5').to.be.properPrivateKey;

• Testing if string is a proper hex value of given length:

expect('0x70').to.be.properHex(2);

Roadmap

• New matcher: changeBalance (see #9)
• Faster testing with parallelization
• Faster compilation with incremental compilation
• Documentation
• Debugging
