Installation
If you encounter any issues during installation, refer to the FAQ for assistance.
Precompiled Binaries
Precompiled binaries can be downloaded from the GitHub releases page. For easier management, we recommend using Foundryup.
Using Foundryup
Foundryup is the official installer for the Foundry toolchain. You can learn more about it here.
To install Foundryup, open your terminal and run the following command:
curl -L https://foundry.paradigm.xyz | bash
This will install Foundryup. Simply follow the on-screen instructions, and the foundryup
command will become available in your CLI.
Running foundryup
will automatically install the latest (nightly) versions of the precompiled binaries: forge
, cast
, anvil
, and chisel
. For additional options, such as installing a specific version or commit, run foundryup --help
.
ℹ️ Note
If you’re using Windows, you’ll need to install and use Git BASH or WSL as your terminal, since Foundryup currently doesn’t support Powershell or Command Prompt (Cmd).
Building from Source
Prerequisites
You’ll need the Rust compiler and Cargo, Rust’s package manager. The easiest way to install both is by using
rustup.rs
.
Foundry generally supports building only with the latest stable version of Rust. If you’re using an older version of Rust, you can update it with rustup
:
rustup update stable
For Windows users, you’ll also need a recent version of Visual Studio, with the “Desktop Development With C++” workload installed.
Building
You can either use the various flags provided by Foundryup:
foundryup --branch master
foundryup --path path/to/foundry
Alternatively, you can install via Cargo with the following command:
cargo install --git https://github.com/foundry-rs/foundry --profile release --locked forge cast chisel anvil
You can also manually build from a local copy of the Foundry repository:
# clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/foundry-rs/foundry.git
cd foundry
# install Forge
cargo install --path ./crates/forge --profile release --force --locked
# install Cast
cargo install --path ./crates/cast --profile release --force --locked
# install Anvil
cargo install --path ./crates/anvil --profile release --force --locked
# install Chisel
cargo install --path ./crates/chisel --profile release --force --locked
CI Installation with GitHub Actions
For instructions on setting up Foundry in a CI pipeline, refer to the foundry-rs/foundry-toolchain GitHub Action.
Using Foundry with Docker
Foundry can also be run inside a Docker container. If you don’t have Docker installed, you can download it from Docker’s website.
Once Docker is installed, you can pull the latest Foundry release by running:
docker pull ghcr.io/foundry-rs/foundry:latest
You can also build the Docker image locally by running the following command from the Foundry repository:
docker build -t foundry .
For examples and guides on using this image, refer to the Docker tutorial section.
ℹ️ Note
Some systems, including those with M1 chips, may experience issues when building the Docker image locally. This is a known issue.
First Steps with Foundry
This section introduces the forge
command-line tool. We will walk through creating a new project, compiling it, and running tests.
To start a new project with Foundry, use the forge init
command:
$ forge init hello_foundry
Now, let’s explore the structure that forge
has generated for us:
$ cd hello_foundry
$ tree . -d -L 1
.
├── lib
├── script
├── src
└── test
4 directories
You can compile the project using forge build
:
$ forge build
Compiling 27 files with Solc 0.8.19
Solc 0.8.19 finished in 1.10s
Compiler run successful!
To run the tests, use the forge test
command:
$ forge test
No files changed, compilation skipped
Ran 2 tests for test/Counter.t.sol:CounterTest
[PASS] testFuzz_SetNumber(uint256) (runs: 256, μ: 31054, ~: 31288)
[PASS] test_Increment() (gas: 31303)
Suite result: ok. 2 passed; 0 failed; 0 skipped; finished in 8.55ms (8.20ms CPU time)
Ran 1 test suite in 9.63ms (8.55ms CPU time): 2 tests passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped (2 total tests)
💡 Tip
You can always view detailed help for any command or subcommand by appending
--help
to it.
For visual learners, be sure to check out these beginner tutorials.
Creating a New Project
To start a new project with Foundry, use forge init
:
$ forge init hello_foundry
This creates a new directory hello_foundry
from the default template. This also initializes a new git
repository.
If you want to create a new project using a different template, you would pass the --template
flag, like so:
$ forge init --template https://github.com/foundry-rs/forge-template hello_template
For now, let’s check what the default template looks like:
$ cd hello_foundry
$ tree . -d -L 1
.
├── lib
├── script
├── src
└── test
4 directories
The default template comes with one dependency installed: Forge Standard Library. This is the preferred testing library used for Foundry projects. Additionally, the template also comes with an empty starter contract and a simple test.
Let’s build the project:
$ forge build
Compiling 27 files with Solc 0.8.19
Solc 0.8.19 finished in 1.10s
Compiler run successful!
And run the tests:
$ forge test
No files changed, compilation skipped
Ran 2 tests for test/Counter.t.sol:CounterTest
[PASS] testFuzz_SetNumber(uint256) (runs: 256, μ: 31054, ~: 31288)
[PASS] test_Increment() (gas: 31303)
Suite result: ok. 2 passed; 0 failed; 0 skipped; finished in 8.55ms (8.20ms CPU time)
Ran 1 test suite in 9.63ms (8.55ms CPU time): 2 tests passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped (2 total tests)
You’ll notice that two new directories have popped up: out
and cache
.
The out
directory contains your contract artifact, such as the ABI, while the cache
is used by forge
to only recompile what is necessary.
Working on an Existing Project
Foundry makes developing with existing projects have no overhead.
For this example, we will use PaulRBerg’s
foundry-template
.
First, clone the project and run forge install
inside the project directory.
$ git clone https://github.com/PaulRBerg/foundry-template
$ cd foundry-template
$ forge install
$ bun install # install Solhint, Prettier, and other Node.js deps
We run forge install
to install the submodule dependencies that are in the project.
To build, use forge build
:
$ forge build
Compiling 28 files with Solc 0.8.25
Solc 0.8.25 finished in 1.32s
Compiler run successful!
And to test, use forge test
:
$ forge test
No files changed, compilation skipped
Ran 3 tests for test/Foo.t.sol:FooTest
[PASS] testFork_Example() (gas: 3779)
[PASS] testFuzz_Example(uint256) (runs: 1000, μ: 9111, ~: 9111)
[PASS] test_Example() (gas: 11861)
Suite result: ok. 3 passed; 0 failed; 0 skipped; finished in 20.10ms (19.91ms CPU time)
Ran 1 test suite in 21.61ms (20.10ms CPU time): 3 tests passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped (3 total tests)
Clone a Verified Contract on Chain
To clone an on-chain verified contract as a Forge project, use forge clone
, say WETH9 on Ethereum mainnet:
$ forge clone 0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2 WETH9
This creates a new directory WETH9
, configures it as a foundry project and clones all the source code of the contract into it. This also initializes a new git
repository.

The cloned Forge project comes with an additional .clone.meta
metadata file besides those ordinary files that a normal Forge project has.
Let’s see what the .clone.meta
file looks like:
{
"path": "src/Contract.sol",
"targetContract": "WETH9",
"address": "0xc02aaa39b223fe8d0a0e5c4f27ead9083c756cc2",
"chainId": 1,
"creationTransaction": "0xb95343413e459a0f97461812111254163ae53467855c0d73e0f1e7c5b8442fa3",

"constructorArguments": "0x",
"storageLayout": {
"storage": [],
"types": {}
}
}
clone.meta
is a compact JSON data file that contains the information of the on-chain contract instance, e.g., contract address, constructor arguments, etc. More details of the metadata can be found in the reference.
Dependencies
Forge manages dependencies using git submodules by default, which means that it works with any GitHub repository that contains smart contracts.
Adding a dependency
To add a dependency, run forge install
:
$ forge install transmissions11/solmate
Installing solmate in /tmp/tmp.u0W7lzdRQ0/deps/lib/solmate (url: Some("https://github.com/transmissions11/solmate"), tag: None)
Installed solmate
This pulls the solmate
library, stages the .gitmodules
file in git and makes a commit with the message “Installed solmate”.
If we now check the lib
folder:
$ tree lib -L 1
lib
├── forge-std
├── solmate
└── weird-erc20
3 directories, 0 files
We can see that Forge installed solmate
!
By default, forge install
installs the latest master branch version. If you want to install a specific tag or commit, you can do it like so:
$ forge install transmissions11/solmate@v7
Remapping dependencies
Forge can remap dependencies to make them easier to import. Forge will automatically try to deduce some remappings for you:
$ forge remappings
ds-test/=lib/solmate/lib/ds-test/src/
forge-std/=lib/forge-std/src/
solmate/=lib/solmate/src/
weird-erc20/=lib/weird-erc20/src/
These remappings mean:
- To import from
forge-std
we would write:import "forge-std/Contract.sol";
- To import from
ds-test
we would write:import "ds-test/Contract.sol";
- To import from
solmate
we would write:import "solmate/Contract.sol";
- To import from
weird-erc20
we would write:import "weird-erc20/Contract.sol";
You can customize these remappings by creating a remappings.txt
file in the root of your project.
Let’s create a remapping called solmate-utils
that points to the utils
folder in the solmate repository!
@solmate-utils/=lib/solmate/src/utils/
You can also set remappings in foundry.toml
.
remappings = [
"@solmate-utils/=lib/solmate/src/utils/",
]
Now we can import any of the contracts in src/utils
of the solmate repository like so:
import {LibString} from "@solmate-utils/LibString.sol";
Updating dependencies
You can update a specific dependency to the latest commit on the version you have specified using forge update <dep>
. For example, if we wanted to pull the latest commit from our previously installed master-version of solmate
, we would run:
$ forge update lib/solmate
Alternatively, you can do this for all dependencies at once by just running forge update
.
Removing dependencies
You can remove dependencies using forge remove <deps>...
, where <deps>
is either the full path to the dependency or just the name. For example, to remove solmate
both of these commands are equivalent:
$ forge remove solmate
# ... is equivalent to ...
$ forge remove lib/solmate
Hardhat compatibility
Forge also supports Hardhat-style projects where dependencies are npm packages (stored in node_modules
) and contracts are stored in contracts
as opposed to src
.
To enable Hardhat compatibility mode pass the --hh
flag.
Soldeer as a Package Manager
As explained here, Foundry has been using git submodules to handle dependencies up until now.
The need for a native package manager started to emerge as projects became more complex.
A new approach has been in the making, soldeer.xyz, which is a Solidity native dependency manager built in Rust and open sourced (check the repository https://github.com/mario-eth/soldeer).
Initialize a new project
If you’re using Soldeer for the first time in a new Foundry project, you can use the init
command to install a fresh instance of Soldeer, complete with the necessary configurations and the latest version of forge-std
.
forge soldeer init
Adding a Dependency
Add a Dependency Stored in the Central Repository
To add a dependency, you can visit soldeer.xyz and search for the dependency you want to add (e.g., openzeppelin 5.0.2).
Then just run the forge command:
forge soldeer install @openzeppelin-contracts~5.0.2
This will download the dependency from the central repository and install it into a dependencies
directory.
Soldeer can manage two types of dependency configuration: using soldeer.toml
or embedded in the foundry.toml
. In order to work with Foundry, you have to define the [dependencies]
config in the foundry.toml
. This will tell the soldeer CLI
to define the installed dependencies there.
E.g.
# Full reference https://github.com/foundry-rs/foundry/tree/master/crates/config
[profile.default]
auto_detect_solc = false
bytecode_hash = "none"
fuzz = { runs = 1_000 }
libs = ["dependencies"] # <= This is important to be added
gas_reports = ["*"]
[dependencies] # <= Dependencies will be added under this config
"@openzeppelin-contracts" = { version = "5.0.2" }
"@uniswap-universal-router" = { version = "1.6.0" }
"@prb-math" = { version = "4.0.2" }
forge-std = { version = "1.8.1" }
Add a Dependency Stored at a Specific Link
If the central repository does not have a certain dependency, you can install it by providing a zip archive link.
E.g.
forge soldeer install @custom-dependency~1.0.0 https://my-website.com/custom-dependency-1-0-0.zip
The above command will try to download the dependency from the provided link and install it as a normal dependency. For this, you will see in the config an additional field called path
.
E.g.
[dependencies]
"@custom-dependency" = { version = "1.0.0", path = "https://my-website.com/custom-dependency-1-0-0.zip" }
Add a Dependency Stored in GIT
If you choose to use Git as a source for your dependencies — though we generally discourage this, since Git isn’t designed to be a dependency manager — you can provide the Git repository link as an additional argument. Soldeer will then automatically handle the installation using a Git subprocess. For example:
forge soldeer install forge-std~1.9.2 https://github.com/foundry-rs/forge-std.git
If you want to use a specific revision, branch, or tag, you can do so by appending the following arguments to the command: --rev/--tag/--branch
e.g.
forge soldeer install forge-std~1.9.2 https://github.com/foundry-rs/forge-std.git --rev 4695fac44b2934aaa6d7150e2eaf0256fdc566a7
Updating Dependencies
Because Soldeer specifies the dependencies in a config file (foundry or soldeer toml), sharing a dependency configuration within the team is much easier.
For example, having this Foundry config file in a git repository, one can pull the repository and then run forge soldeer update
. This command will automatically install all the dependencies specified under the [dependencies]
tag.
# Full reference https://github.com/foundry-rs/foundry/tree/master/crates/config
[profile.default]
auto_detect_solc = false
bytecode_hash = "none"
fuzz = { runs = 1_000 }
libs = ["dependencies"] # <= This is important to be added
gas_reports = ["*"]
[dependencies] # <= Dependencies will be added under this config
"@openzeppelin-contracts" = { version = "5.0.2" }
"@uniswap-universal-router" = { version = "1.6.0" }
"@prb-math" = { version = "4.0.2" }
forge-std = { version = "1.8.1" }
Removing Dependencies
You can use forge soldeer uninstall DEPENDENCY
.
Example: forge soldeer uninstall @openzeppelin-contracts
. This will action will remove:
- the config entry
- the
dependencies
artifacts - the
soldeer.lock
entry - the
remappings
entry (txt or config remapping)
Additionally you can manually remove a dependency by just removing the artifacts: dependency files, config entry, remappings entry.
Remappings
The remappings are now fully configurable, the config TOML file (foundry.toml) accepts a
[soldeer]
field with the following options
[soldeer]
# whether soldeer manages remappings
remappings_generate = true
# whether soldeer re-generates all remappings when installing, updating or uninstalling deps
remappings_regenerate = false
# whether to suffix the remapping with the version: `name-a.b.c`
remappings_version = true
# a prefix to add to the remappings ("@" would give `@name`)
remappings_prefix = ""
# where to store the remappings ("txt" for `remappings.txt` or "config" for `foundry.toml`)
# ignored when `soldeer.toml` is used as config (uses `remappings.txt`)
remappings_location = "txt"
Installing dependencies of dependencies aka sub-dependencies
Whenever you install a dependency, that dependency might have other dependencies that need to be installed as well. Currently, you can handle this by either specifying the recursive_deps
field as a configuration entry in the config file or by passing the --recursive-deps
argument when running the install or update command. This will ensure that all necessary sub-dependencies are automatically pulled in.
e.g.
[soldeer]
recursive_deps = true
Pushing a New Version to the Central Repository
Soldeer acts like npmjs/crates.io, encouraging all developers to publish their projects to the central repository.
To do that, you have to go to soldeer.xyz, create an account, verify it, then
Just add a new project
After the project is created, you can go into your project source and:
- Create a
.soldeerignore
file that acts as a.gitignore
to exclude files that aren’t needed. The.gitignore
file is also respected. - Run
forge soldeer login
to log into your account. - Run
forge soldeer push my-project~1.0.0
in your terminal in the directory that you want to push to the central repository associated with the projectmy-project
at version1.0.0
.
If you want to push a specific directory and not the current directory your terminal is in, you can use forge soldeer push my-project~1.0.0 /path/to/directory
.
Warning ⚠️
You are at risk to push sensitive files to the central repository that then can be seen by everyone. Make sure to exclude sensitive files in the .soldeerignore
file.
Furthermore, we’ve implemented a warning that it will be triggered if you try to push a project that contains any .dot
files/directories.
If you want to skip this warning, you can just use
forge soldeer push my-project~1.0.0 --skip-warnings
Dry-run
In case you want to simulate what would happen if you push a version, you can use the --dry-run
flag. This will create a zip file that you can inspect before pushing it to the central repository.
forge soldeer push my-project~1.0.0 --dry-run
Login Data
By default, Soldeer saves the login token in the ~/.soldeer/.soldeer_login
file, which is used to push files to the central repository. If you prefer to save the token in a different location, you can set the environment variable SOLDEER_LOGIN_FILE
.
Warning ⚠️
- Once a project is created, it cannot be deleted.
- Once a version is pushed, it cannot be deleted.
- You cannot push the same version twice.
- The project name in the command that you run in the terminal must match the project name that you created on the Soldeer website.
- We encourage everyone to use version pinning when importing them into the contracts, this will help with securing your code by knowing exactly what version of a dependency you are using. Furthermore, it will help security researchers in their work.
- Make sure you delete this zip file before pushing the version if you run dry-run. e.g. instead of using
import '@openzeppelin-contracts/token/ERC20.sol'
you should doimport '@openzeppelin-contracts-5.0.2/token/ERC20.sol'
What happens if a certain package is not present in the central repository?
- If a certain package is not present in the central repository, you can open an issue in the Soldeer Repository and the team will look into adding it.
- If you have a package that you want to use and it is not present in the central repository, you can push it to the central repository by following the steps above.
Project Layout
Forge is flexible on how you structure your project. By default, the structure is:
.
├── README.md
├── foundry.toml
├── lib
│ └── forge-std
│ ├── CONTRIBUTING.md
│ ├── LICENSE-APACHE
│ ├── LICENSE-MIT
│ ├── README.md
│ ├── foundry.toml
│ ├── package.json
│ ├── scripts
│ ├── src
│ └── test
├── script
│ └── Counter.s.sol
├── src
│ └── Counter.sol
└── test
└── Counter.t.sol
8 directories, 11 files
- You can configure Foundry’s behavior using
foundry.toml
. - Remappings are specified in
remappings.txt
. - The default directory for contracts is
src/
. - The default directory for tests is
test/
, where any contract with a function that starts withtest
is considered to be a test. - Dependencies are stored as git submodules in
lib/
.
You can configure where Forge looks for both dependencies and contracts using the --lib-paths
and --contracts
flags respectively. Alternatively you can configure it in foundry.toml
.
Combined with remappings, this gives you the flexibility needed to support the project structure of other toolchains such as Hardhat and Truffle.
For automatic Hardhat support you can also pass the --hh
flag, which sets the following flags: --lib-paths node_modules --contracts contracts
.
Overview of Forge
Forge is a command-line tool that ships with Foundry. Forge tests, builds, and deploys your smart contracts.
Tests
Forge can run your tests with the forge test
command. All tests are written in Solidity.
Forge will look for the tests anywhere in your source directory. Any contract with a function that starts with test
is considered to be a test. Usually, tests will be placed in test/
by convention and end with .t.sol
.
Here’s an example of running forge test
in a freshly created project, that only has the default test:
$ forge test
No files changed, compilation skipped
Ran 2 tests for test/Counter.t.sol:CounterTest
[PASS] testFuzz_SetNumber(uint256) (runs: 256, μ: 31054, ~: 31288)
[PASS] test_Increment() (gas: 31303)
Suite result: ok. 2 passed; 0 failed; 0 skipped; finished in 8.55ms (8.20ms CPU time)
Ran 1 test suite in 9.63ms (8.55ms CPU time): 2 tests passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped (2 total tests)
You can also run specific tests by passing a filter:
$ forge test --match-contract ComplicatedContractTest --match-test test_Deposit
Compiling 24 files with Solc 0.8.10
Solc 0.8.10 finished in 1.09s
Compiler run successful!
Ran 2 tests for test/ComplicatedContract.t.sol:ComplicatedContractTest
[PASS] test_DepositERC20() (gas: 102193)
[PASS] test_DepositETH() (gas: 61414)
Suite result: ok. 2 passed; 0 failed; 0 skipped; finished in 1.26ms (1.42ms CPU time)
Ran 1 test suite in 6.21ms (1.26ms CPU time): 2 tests passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped (2 total tests)
This will run the tests in the ComplicatedContractTest
test contract with testDeposit
in the name.
Inverse versions of these flags also exist (--no-match-contract
and --no-match-test
).
You can run tests in filenames that match a glob pattern with --match-path
.
$ forge test --match-path test/ContractB.t.sol
Compiling 1 files with Solc 0.8.10
Solc 0.8.10 finished in 1.04s
Compiler run successful!
Ran 1 test for test/ContractB.t.sol:ContractBTest
[PASS] testExample() (gas: 257)
Suite result: ok. 1 passed; 0 failed; 0 skipped; finished in 309.69µs (45.60µs CPU time)
Ran 1 test suite in 6.20ms (309.69µs CPU time): 1 tests passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped (1 total tests)
The inverse of the --match-path
flag is --no-match-path
.
Logs and traces
The default behavior for forge test
is to only display a summary of passing and failing tests. You can control this behavior by increasing the verbosity (using the -v
flag). Each level of verbosity adds more information:
- Level 2 (
-vv
): Logs emitted during tests are also displayed. That includes assertion errors from tests, showing information such as expected vs actual. - Level 3 (
-vvv
): Stack traces for failing tests are also displayed. - Level 4 (
-vvvv
): Stack traces for all tests are displayed, and setup traces for failing tests are displayed. - Level 5 (
-vvvvv
): Stack traces and setup traces are always displayed.
Watch mode
Forge can re-run your tests when you make changes to your files using forge test --watch
.
By default, only changed test files are re-run. If you want to re-run all tests on a change, you can use forge test --watch --run-all
.
Writing Tests
Tests are written in Solidity. If the test function reverts, the test fails, otherwise it passes.
Let’s go over the most common way of writing tests, using the Forge Standard Library’s Test
contract, which is the preferred way of writing tests with Forge.
In this section, we’ll go over the basics using the functions from the Forge Std’s Test
contract, which is itself a superset of DSTest. You will learn how to use more advanced stuff from the Forge Standard Library soon.
DSTest provides basic logging and assertion functionality. To get access to the functions, import forge-std/Test.sol
and inherit from Test
in your test contract:
import {Test} from "forge-std/Test.sol";
Let’s examine a basic test:
pragma solidity 0.8.10;
import {Test} from "forge-std/Test.sol";
contract ContractBTest is Test {
uint256 testNumber;
function setUp() public {
testNumber = 42;
}
function test_NumberIs42() public {
assertEq(testNumber, 42);
}
function testFail_Subtract43() public {
testNumber -= 43;
}
}
Forge uses the following keywords in tests:
setUp
: An optional function invoked before each test case is run.
function setUp() public {
testNumber = 42;
}
test
: Functions prefixed withtest
are run as a test case.
function test_NumberIs42() public {
assertEq(testNumber, 42);
}
testFail
: The inverse of thetest
prefix - if the function does not revert, the test fails.
function testFail_Subtract43() public {
testNumber -= 43;
}
A good practice is to use the pattern test_Revert[If|When]_Condition
in combination with the expectRevert
cheatcode (cheatcodes are explained in greater detail in the following section). Also, other testing practices can be found in the Tutorials section.
Note: To use
stdError
constants (likearithmeticError
in the example below), make sure to importStdError.sol
:import {stdError} from "forge-std/StdError.sol";
Now, instead of using testFail
, you know exactly what reverted and with which error:
function test_CannotSubtract43() public {
vm.expectRevert(stdError.arithmeticError);
testNumber -= 43;
}
Tests are deployed to 0xb4c79daB8f259C7Aee6E5b2Aa729821864227e84
. If you deploy a contract within your test, then
0xb4c...7e84
will be its deployer. If the contract deployed within a test gives special permissions to its deployer,
such as Ownable.sol
’s onlyOwner
modifier, then the test contract 0xb4c...7e84
will have those permissions.
⚠️ Note
Test functions must have either
external
orpublic
visibility. Functions declared asinternal
orprivate
won’t be picked up by Forge, even if they are prefixed withtest
.
Before test setups
Unit and fuzz tests are stateless and are executed as single transactions, meaning that the state modified by a test won’t be available for a different one (instead, they’ll use the same state created by setUp
call).
It is possible to simulate multiple transactions in a single test, with a dependency tree, by implementing the beforeTestSetup
function.
beforeTestSetup
: Optional function that configures a set of transactions to be executed before test.
function beforeTestSetup(
bytes4 testSelector
) public returns (bytes[] memory beforeTestCalldata)
where
bytes4 testSelector
is the selector of the test for which transactions are appliedbytes[] memory beforeTestCalldata
is an array of arbitrary calldata applied before test execution
💡 Tip
This setup can be used for chaining tests or for scenarios when a test needs certain transactions committed before test run (e.g. when using
selfdestruct
). The test fails if any of the configured transaction reverts.
For example, in contract below, testC
is configured to use state modified by testA
and setB(uint256)
functions:
contract ContractTest is Test {
uint256 a;
uint256 b;
function beforeTestSetup(
bytes4 testSelector
) public pure returns (bytes[] memory beforeTestCalldata) {
if (testSelector == this.testC.selector) {
beforeTestCalldata = new bytes[](2);
beforeTestCalldata[0] = abi.encodePacked(this.testA.selector);
beforeTestCalldata[1] = abi.encodeWithSignature("setB(uint256)", 1);
}
}
function testA() public {
require(a == 0);
a += 1;
}
function setB(uint256 value) public {
b = value;
}
function testC() public {
assertEq(a, 1);
assertEq(b, 1);
}
}
Shared setups
It is possible to use shared setups by creating helper abstract contracts and inheriting them in your test contracts:
abstract contract HelperContract {
address constant IMPORTANT_ADDRESS = 0x543d...;
SomeContract someContract;
constructor() {...}
}
contract MyContractTest is Test, HelperContract {
function setUp() public {
someContract = new SomeContract(0, IMPORTANT_ADDRESS);
...
}
}
contract MyOtherContractTest is Test, HelperContract {
function setUp() public {
someContract = new SomeContract(1000, IMPORTANT_ADDRESS);
...
}
}
💡 Tip
Use the
getCode
cheatcode to deploy contracts with incompatible Solidity versions.
Cheatcodes
Most of the time, simply testing your smart contracts outputs isn’t enough. To manipulate the state of the blockchain, as well as test for specific reverts and events, Foundry is shipped with a set of cheatcodes.
Cheatcodes allow you to change the block number, your identity, and more. They are invoked by calling specific functions on a specially designated address: 0x7109709ECfa91a80626fF3989D68f67F5b1DD12D
.
You can access cheatcodes easily via the vm
instance available in Forge Standard Library’s Test
contract. Forge Standard Library is explained in greater detail in the following section.
Let’s write a test for a smart contract that is only callable by its owner.
pragma solidity 0.8.10;
import {Test} from "forge-std/Test.sol";
error Unauthorized();
contract OwnerUpOnly {
address public immutable owner;
uint256 public count;
constructor() {
owner = msg.sender;
}
function increment() external {
if (msg.sender != owner) {
revert Unauthorized();
}
count++;
}
}
contract OwnerUpOnlyTest is Test {
OwnerUpOnly upOnly;
function setUp() public {
upOnly = new OwnerUpOnly();
}
function test_IncrementAsOwner() public {
assertEq(upOnly.count(), 0);
upOnly.increment();
assertEq(upOnly.count(), 1);
}
}
If we run forge test
now, we will see that the test passes, since OwnerUpOnlyTest
is the owner of OwnerUpOnly
.
$ forge test
Compiling 24 files with Solc 0.8.10
Solc 0.8.10 finished in 1.13s

Ran 1 test suite in 5.99ms (383.29µs CPU time): 1 tests passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped (1 total tests)
Let’s make sure that someone who is definitely not the owner can’t increment the count:
contract OwnerUpOnlyTest is Test {
OwnerUpOnly upOnly;
// ...
function testFail_IncrementAsNotOwner() public {
vm.prank(address(0));
upOnly.increment();
}
}
If we run forge test
now, we will see that all the test pass.
$ forge test

Ran 1 test suite in 6.40ms (450.18µs CPU time): 2 tests passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped (2 total tests)
The test passed because the prank
cheatcode changed our identity to the zero address for the next call (upOnly.increment()
). The test case passed since we used the testFail
prefix, however, using testFail
is considered an anti-pattern since it does not tell us anything about why upOnly.increment()
reverted.
If we run the tests again with traces turned on, we can see that we reverted with the correct error message.
$ forge test -vvvv --match-test testFail_IncrementAsNotOwner

To be sure in the future, let’s make sure that we reverted because we are not the owner using the expectRevert
cheatcode:
contract OwnerUpOnlyTest is Test {
OwnerUpOnly upOnly;
// ...
// Notice that we replaced `testFail` with `test`
function test_RevertWhen_CallerIsNotOwner() public {
vm.expectRevert(Unauthorized.selector);
vm.prank(address(0));
upOnly.increment();
}
}
If we run forge test
one last time, we see that the test still passes, but this time we are sure that it will always fail if we revert for any other reason.
$ forge test

Ran 1 test suite in 6.18ms (346.86µs CPU time): 1 tests passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped (1 total tests)
Another cheatcode that is perhaps not so intuitive is the expectEmit
function. Before looking at expectEmit
, we need to understand what an event is.
Events are inheritable members of contracts. When you emit an event, the arguments are stored on the blockchain. The indexed
attribute can be added to a maximum of three parameters of an event to form a data structure known as a “topic.” Topics allow users to search for events on the blockchain.
pragma solidity 0.8.10;
import {Test} from "forge-std/Test.sol";
contract EmitContractTest is Test {
event Transfer(address indexed from, address indexed to, uint256 amount);
function test_ExpectEmit() public {
ExpectEmit emitter = new ExpectEmit();
// Check that topic 1, topic 2, and data are the same as the following emitted event.
// Checking topic 3 here doesn't matter, because `Transfer` only has 2 indexed topics.
vm.expectEmit(true, true, false, true);
// The event we expect
emit Transfer(address(this), address(1337), 1337);
// The event we get
emitter.t();
}
function test_ExpectEmit_DoNotCheckData() public {
ExpectEmit emitter = new ExpectEmit();
// Check topic 1 and topic 2, but do not check data
vm.expectEmit(true, true, false, false);
// The event we expect
emit Transfer(address(this), address(1337), 1338);
// The event we get
emitter.t();
}
}
contract ExpectEmit {
event Transfer(address indexed from, address indexed to, uint256 amount);
function t() public {
emit Transfer(msg.sender, address(1337), 1337);
}
}
When we call vm.expectEmit(true, true, false, true);
, we want to check the 1st and 2nd indexed
topic for the next event.
The expected Transfer
event in test_ExpectEmit()
means we are expecting that from
is address(this)
, and to
is address(1337)
. This is compared against the event emitted from emitter.t()
.
In other words, we are checking that the first topic from emitter.t()
is equal to address(this)
. The 3rd argument in expectEmit
is set to false
because there is no need to check the third topic in the Transfer
event, since there are only two. It does not matter even if we set to true
.
The 4th argument in expectEmit
is set to true
, which means that we want to check “non-indexed topics”, also known as data.
For example, we want the data from the expected event in test_ExpectEmit
- which is amount
- to equal to the data in the actual emitted event. In other words, we are asserting that amount
emitted by emitter.t()
is equal to 1337
. If the fourth argument in expectEmit
was set to false
, we would not check amount
.
In other words, test_ExpectEmit_DoNotCheckData
is a valid test case, even though the amounts differ, since we do not check the data.

Forge Standard Library Overview
Forge Standard Library (Forge Std for short) is a collection of helpful contracts that make writing tests easier, faster, and more user-friendly.
Using Forge Std is the preferred way of writing tests with Foundry.
It provides all the essential functionality you need to get started writing tests:
Vm.sol
: Up-to-date cheatcodes interfaceconsole.sol
andconsole2.sol
: Hardhat-style logging functionalityScript.sol
: Basic utilities for Solidity scriptingTest.sol
: A superset of DSTest containing standard libraries, a cheatcodes instance (vm
), and Hardhat console
Simply import Test.sol
and inherit from Test
in your test contract:
import {Test} from "forge-std/Test.sol";
contract ContractTest is Test { ...
Now, you can:
// Access Hevm via the `vm` instance
vm.startPrank(alice);
// Assert and log using Dappsys Test
assertEq(dai.balanceOf(alice), 10000e18);
// Log with the Hardhat `console` (`console2`)
console.log(alice.balance);
// Use anything from the Forge Std std-libraries
deal(address(dai), alice, 10000e18);
To import the Vm
interface or the console
library individually:
import {Vm} from "forge-std/Vm.sol";
import {console} from "forge-std/console.sol";
Note: console2.sol
contains patches to console.sol
that allows Forge to decode traces for calls to the console, but it is not compatible with Hardhat.
import {console2} from "forge-std/console2.sol";
Standard libraries
Forge Std currently consists of six standard libraries.
Std Logs
Std Logs expand upon the logging events from the DSTest
library.
Std Assertions
Std Assertions expand upon the assertion functions from the DSTest
library.
Std Cheats
Std Cheats are wrappers around Forge cheatcodes that make them safer to use and improve the DX.
You can access Std Cheats by simply calling them inside your test contract, as you would any other internal function:
// set up a prank as Alice with 100 ETH balance
hoax(alice, 100 ether);
Std Errors
Std Errors provide wrappers around common internal Solidity errors and reverts.
Std Errors are most useful in combination with the expectRevert
cheatcode, as you do not need to remember the internal Solidity panic codes yourself. Note that you have to access them through stdError
, as this is a library.
// expect an arithmetic error on the next call (e.g. underflow)
vm.expectRevert(stdError.arithmeticError);
Std Storage
Std Storage makes manipulating contract storage easy. It can find and write to the storage slot(s) associated with a particular variable.
The Test
contract already provides a StdStorage
instance stdstore
through which you can access any std-storage functionality. Note that you must add using stdStorage for StdStorage
in your test contract first.
// find the variable `score` in the contract `game`
// and change its value to 10
stdstore
.target(address(game))
.sig(game.score.selector)
.checked_write(10);
Std Math
Std Math is a library with useful mathematical functions that are not provided in Solidity.
Note that you have to access them through stdMath
, as this is a library.
// get the absolute value of -10
uint256 ten = stdMath.abs(-10)
📚 Reference
See the Forge Standard Library Reference for a complete overview of Forge Standard Library.
Understanding Traces
Forge can produce traces either for failing tests (-vvv
) or all tests (-vvvv
).
Traces follow the same general format:
[<Gas Usage>] <Contract>::<Function>(<Parameters>)
├─ [<Gas Usage>] <Contract>::<Function>(<Parameters>)
│ └─ ← <Return Value>
└─ ← <Return Value>
Each trace can have many more subtraces, each denoting a call to a contract and a return value.
If your terminal supports color, the traces will also come with a variety of colors:
- Green: For calls that do not revert
- Red: For reverting calls
- Blue: For calls to cheat codes
- Cyan: For emitted logs
- Yellow: For contract deployments
The gas usage (marked in square brackets) is for the entirety of the function call. You may notice, however, that sometimes the gas usage of one trace does not exactly match the gas usage of all its subtraces:
[24661] OwnerUpOnlyTest::testIncrementAsOwner()
├─ [2262] OwnerUpOnly::count()
│ └─ ← 0
├─ [20398] OwnerUpOnly::increment()
│ └─ ← ()
├─ [262] OwnerUpOnly::count()
│ └─ ← 1
└─ ← ()
The gas unaccounted for is due to some extra operations happening between calls, such as arithmetic and store reads/writes.
Forge will try to decode as many signatures and values as possible, but sometimes this is not possible. In these cases, the traces will appear like so:
[<Gas Usage>] <Address>::<Calldata>
└─ ← <Return Data>
Some traces might be harder to grasp at first glance. These include:
- The
OOG
shorthand stands for “Out Of Gas”. - The acronym
EOF
stands for “Ethereum Object Format”, which introduces an extensible and versioned container format for EVM bytecode. For more information, read here. NotActivated
means the feature or opcode is not activated. Some versions of the EVM only support certain opcodes. You may need to use a more recent version usign the--evm_version
flag. For example, thePUSH0
opcode is only available since the Shanghai hardfork.InvalidFEOpcode
means that an undefined bytecode value has been encountered during execution. The EVM catches the unknown bytecode and returns theINVALID
opcode instead, of value0xFE
. You can find out more here.
For a deeper insight into the various traces, you can explore the revm source code.
Fork Testing
Forge supports testing in a forked environment with two different approaches:
- Forking Mode — use a single fork for all your tests via the
forge test --fork-url
flag - Forking Cheatcodes — create, select, and manage multiple forks directly in Solidity test code via forking cheatcodes
Which approach to use? Forking mode affords running an entire test suite against a specific forked environment, while forking cheatcodes provide more flexibility and expressiveness to work with multiple forks in your tests. Your particular use case and testing strategy will help inform which approach to use.
Forking Mode
To run all tests in a forked environment, such as a forked Ethereum mainnet, pass an RPC URL via the --fork-url
flag:
forge test --fork-url <your_rpc_url>
The following values are changed to reflect those of the chain at the moment of forking:
block_number
chain_id
gas_limit
gas_price
block_base_fee_per_gas
block_coinbase
block_timestamp
block_difficulty
It is possible to specify a block from which to fork with --fork-block-number
:
forge test --fork-url <your_rpc_url> --fork-block-number 1
Forking is especially useful when you need to interact with existing contracts. You may choose to do integration testing this way, as if you were on an actual network.
Caching
If both --fork-url
and --fork-block-number
are specified, then data for that block is cached for future test runs.
The data is cached in ~/.foundry/cache/rpc/<chain name>/<block number>
. To clear the cache, simply remove the directory or run forge clean
(removes all build artifacts and cache directories).
It is also possible to ignore the cache entirely by passing --no-storage-caching
, or with foundry.toml
by configuring no_storage_caching
and rpc_storage_caching
.
Improved traces
Forge supports identifying contracts in a forked environment with Etherscan.
To use this feature, pass the Etherscan API key via the --etherscan-api-key
flag:
forge test --fork-url <your_rpc_url> --etherscan-api-key <your_etherscan_api_key>
Alternatively, you can set the ETHERSCAN_API_KEY
environment variable.
Forking Cheatcodes
Forking cheatcodes allow you to enter forking mode programmatically in your Solidity test code. Instead of configuring forking mode via forge
CLI arguments, these cheatcodes allow you to use forking mode on a test-by-test basis and work with multiple forks in your tests. Each fork is identified via its own unique uint256
identifier.
Usage
Important to keep in mind that all test functions are isolated, meaning each test function is executed with a copy of the state after setUp
and is executed in its own stand-alone EVM.
Therefore forks created during setUp
are available in tests. The code example below uses createFork
to create two forks, but does not select one initially. Each fork is identified with a unique identifier (uint256 forkId
), which is assigned when it is first created.
Enabling a specific fork is done via passing that forkId
to selectFork
.
createSelectFork
is a one-liner for createFork
plus selectFork
.
There can only be one fork active at a time, and the identifier for the currently active fork can be retrieved via activeFork
.
Similar to roll
, you can set block.number
of a fork with rollFork
.
To understand what happens when a fork is selected, it is important to know how the forking mode works in general:
Each fork is a standalone EVM, i.e. all forks use completely independent storage. The only exception is the state of the msg.sender
and the test contract itself, which are persistent across fork swaps.
In other words all changes that are made while fork A
is active (selectFork(A)
) are only recorded in fork A
’s storage and are not available if another fork is selected. However, changes recorded in the test contract itself (variables) are still available because the test contract is a persistent account.
The selectFork
cheatcode sets the remote section with the fork’s data source, however the local memory remains persistent across fork swaps. This also means selectFork
can be called at all times with any fork, to set the remote data source. However, it is important to keep in mind the above rules for read/write
access always apply, meaning writes are persistent across fork swaps.
Examples
Create and Select Forks
contract ForkTest is Test {
// the identifiers of the forks
uint256 mainnetFork;
uint256 optimismFork;
//Access variables from .env file via vm.envString("varname")
//Replace ALCHEMY_KEY by your alchemy key or Etherscan key, change RPC url if need
//inside your .env file e.g:
//MAINNET_RPC_URL = 'https://eth-mainnet.g.alchemy.com/v2/ALCHEMY_KEY'
//string MAINNET_RPC_URL = vm.envString("MAINNET_RPC_URL");
//string OPTIMISM_RPC_URL = vm.envString("OPTIMISM_RPC_URL");
// create two _different_ forks during setup
function setUp() public {
mainnetFork = vm.createFork(MAINNET_RPC_URL);
optimismFork = vm.createFork(OPTIMISM_RPC_URL);
}
// demonstrate fork ids are unique
function testForkIdDiffer() public {
assert(mainnetFork != optimismFork);
}
// select a specific fork
function testCanSelectFork() public {
// select the fork
vm.selectFork(mainnetFork);
assertEq(vm.activeFork(), mainnetFork);
// from here on data is fetched from the `mainnetFork` if the EVM requests it and written to the storage of `mainnetFork`
}
// manage multiple forks in the same test
function testCanSwitchForks() public {
vm.selectFork(mainnetFork);
assertEq(vm.activeFork(), mainnetFork);
vm.selectFork(optimismFork);
assertEq(vm.activeFork(), optimismFork);
}
// forks can be created at all times
function testCanCreateAndSelectForkInOneStep() public {
// creates a new fork and also selects it
uint256 anotherFork = vm.createSelectFork(MAINNET_RPC_URL);
assertEq(vm.activeFork(), anotherFork);
}
// set `block.number` of a fork
function testCanSetForkBlockNumber() public {
vm.selectFork(mainnetFork);
vm.rollFork(1_337_000);
assertEq(block.number, 1_337_000);
}
}
Separated and persistent storage
As mentioned each fork is essentially an independent EVM with separated storage.
Only the accounts of msg.sender
and the test contract (ForkTest
) are persistent when forks are selected. But any account can be turned into a persistent account: makePersistent
.
An account that is persistent is unique, i.e. it exists on all forks
contract ForkTest is Test {
// the identifiers of the forks
uint256 mainnetFork;
uint256 optimismFork;
//Access variables from .env file via vm.envString("varname")
//Replace ALCHEMY_KEY by your alchemy key or Etherscan key, change RPC url if need
//inside your .env file e.g:
//MAINNET_RPC_URL = 'https://eth-mainnet.g.alchemy.com/v2/ALCHEMY_KEY'
//string MAINNET_RPC_URL = vm.envString("MAINNET_RPC_URL");
//string OPTIMISM_RPC_URL = vm.envString("OPTIMISM_RPC_URL");
// create two _different_ forks during setup
function setUp() public {
mainnetFork = vm.createFork(MAINNET_RPC_URL);
optimismFork = vm.createFork(OPTIMISM_RPC_URL);
}
// creates a new contract while a fork is active
function testCreateContract() public {
vm.selectFork(mainnetFork);
assertEq(vm.activeFork(), mainnetFork);
// the new contract is written to `mainnetFork`'s storage
SimpleStorageContract simple = new SimpleStorageContract();
// and can be used as normal
simple.set(100);
assertEq(simple.value(), 100);
// after switching to another contract we still know `address(simple)` but the contract only lives in `mainnetFork`
vm.selectFork(optimismFork);
/* this call will therefore revert because `simple` now points to a contract that does not exist on the active fork
* it will produce following revert message:
*
* "Contract 0xCe71065D4017F316EC606Fe4422e11eB2c47c246 does not exist on active fork with id `1`
* But exists on non active forks: `[0]`"
*/
simple.value();
}
// creates a new _persistent_ contract while a fork is active
function testCreatePersistentContract() public {
vm.selectFork(mainnetFork);
SimpleStorageContract simple = new SimpleStorageContract();
simple.set(100);
assertEq(simple.value(), 100);
// mark the contract as persistent so it is also available when other forks are active
vm.makePersistent(address(simple));
assert(vm.isPersistent(address(simple)));
vm.selectFork(optimismFork);
assert(vm.isPersistent(address(simple)));
// This will succeed because the contract is now also available on the `optimismFork`
assertEq(simple.value(), 100);
}
}
contract SimpleStorageContract {
uint256 public value;
function set(uint256 _value) public {
value = _value;
}
}
For more details and examples, see the forking cheatcodes reference.
Replaying Failures
Forge supports incrementally replaying last test run failures by persisting them on the disk.
Rerun failures
The --rerun
option can be used to omit successful tests and replay recorded failures only:
forge test --rerun
The failed tests are written in ~/.foundry/cache/test-failures
file. This file is updated each time forge test
is performed, so it reflects failures from the last run.
Fuzz tests failures
Forge saves all fuzz tests counterexamples and replays them before new test campaigns are started (This is done in order to ensure there is no regression introduced).
Fuzz tests failures encountered in several runs are by default persisted in ~/.foundry/cache/fuzz/failures
file. The file content is not replaced by subsequent test runs, but new records are added to existing entries.
The default file used to persist and rerun fuzz test failures from can be changed in foundry.toml:
[fuzz]
failure_persist_file="/tests/failures.txt"
or by using inline config
/// forge-config: default.fuzz.failure-persist-file = /tests/failures.txt
Invariant tests failures
Failures from invariant tests are saved and replayed before new test campaigns are started, similar with fuzz tests. The difference is that the failed sequences are persisted in individual files, with specific ~/.foundry/cache/invariant/failures/{TEST_SUITE_NAME}/{INVARIANT_NAME}
default path. Content of this file is replaced only when a different counterexample is found.
The default directory to persist invariant test failures can be changed in foundry.toml:
[invariant]
failure_persist_dir="/tests/dir"
or by using inline config
/// forge-config: default.invariant.failure-persist-dir = /tests/dir
Remove persisted failures
To ignore saved failures and start a clean test campaign, simply remove the persisted files or run forge clean
(removes all build artifacts and cache directories).
Advanced Testing
Forge comes with a number of advanced testing methods:
In the future, Forge will also support these:
Each chapter dives into what problem the testing methods solve, and how to apply them to your own project.
Fuzz Testing
Forge supports property based testing.
Property-based testing is a way of testing general behaviors as opposed to isolated scenarios.
Let’s examine what that means by writing a unit test, finding the general property we are testing for, and converting it to a property-based test instead:
pragma solidity 0.8.10;
import {Test} from "forge-std/Test.sol";
contract Safe {
receive() external payable {}
function withdraw() external {
payable(msg.sender).transfer(address(this).balance);
}
}
contract SafeTest is Test {
Safe safe;
// Needed so the test contract itself can receive ether
// when withdrawing
receive() external payable {}
function setUp() public {
safe = new Safe();
}
function test_Withdraw() public {
payable(address(safe)).transfer(1 ether);
uint256 preBalance = address(this).balance;
safe.withdraw();
uint256 postBalance = address(this).balance;
assertEq(preBalance + 1 ether, postBalance);
}
}
Running the test, we see it passes:
$ forge test
Compiling 24 files with Solc 0.8.10
Solc 0.8.10 finished in 1.12s
Compiler run successful!
Ran 1 test for test/Safe.t.sol:SafeTest
[PASS] test_Withdraw() (gas: 19463)
Suite result: ok. 1 passed; 0 failed; 0 skipped; finished in 381.65µs (41.39µs CPU time)
Ran 1 test suite in 5.86ms (381.65µs CPU time): 1 tests passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped (1 total tests)
This unit test does test that we can withdraw ether from our safe. However, who is to say that it works for all amounts, not just 1 ether?
The general property here is: given a safe balance, when we withdraw, we should get whatever is in the safe.
Forge will run any test that takes at least one parameter as a property-based test, so let’s rewrite:
contract SafeTest is Test {
// ...
function testFuzz_Withdraw(uint256 amount) public {
payable(address(safe)).transfer(amount);
uint256 preBalance = address(this).balance;
safe.withdraw();
uint256 postBalance = address(this).balance;
assertEq(preBalance + amount, postBalance);
}
}
If we run the test now, we can see that Forge runs the property-based test, but it fails for high values of amount
:
$ forge test
Compiling 1 files with Solc 0.8.10
Solc 0.8.10 finished in 1.07s
Compiler run successful!

Ran 1 test suite in 6.31ms (916.35µs CPU time): 0 tests passed, 1 failed, 0 skipped (1 total tests)
The default amount of ether that the test contract is given is 2**96 wei
(as in DappTools), so we have to restrict the type of amount to uint96
to make sure we don’t try to send more than we have:
function testFuzz_Withdraw(uint96 amount) public {
And now it passes:
$ forge test
Compiling 1 files with Solc 0.8.10
Solc 0.8.10 finished in 1.06s

Ran 1 test suite in 5.86ms (4.79ms CPU time): 1 tests passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped (1 total tests)
You may want to exclude certain cases using the assume
cheatcode. In those cases, fuzzer will discard the inputs and start a new fuzz run:
function testFuzz_Withdraw(uint96 amount) public {
vm.assume(amount > 0.1 ether);
// snip
}
There are different ways to run property-based tests, notably parametric testing and fuzzing. Forge only supports fuzzing.
Interpreting results
You might have noticed that fuzz tests are summarized a bit differently compared to unit tests:
- “runs” refers to the amount of scenarios the fuzzer tested. By default, the fuzzer will generate 256 scenarios, but this and other test execution parameters can be setup by the user. Fuzzer configuration details are provided
here
. - “μ” (Greek letter mu) is the mean gas used across all fuzz runs
- “~” (tilde) is the median gas used across all fuzz runs
Configuring fuzz test execution
Fuzz tests execution is governed by parameters that can be controlled by users via Forge configuration primitives. Configs can be applied globally or on a per-test basis. For details on this topic please refer to
📚 Global config
and 📚 In-line config
.
Fuzz test fixtures
Fuzz test fixtures can be defined when you want to make sure a certain set of values is used as inputs for fuzzed parameters. These fixtures can be declared in tests as:
- storage arrays prefixed with
fixture
and followed by param name to be fuzzed. For example, fixtures to be used when fuzzing parameteramount
of typeuint32
can be defined as
uint32[] public fixtureAmount = [1, 5, 555];
- functions named with
fixture
prefix, followed by param name to be fuzzed. Function should return an (fixed size or dynamic) array of values to be used for fuzzing. For example, fixtures to be used when fuzzing parameter namedowner
of typeaddress
can be defined in a function with signature
function fixtureOwner() public returns (address[] memory)
If the type of value provided as a fixture is not the same type as the named parameter to be fuzzed then it is rejected and an error is raised.
An example where fixture could be used is to reproduce the DSChief
vulnerability. Consider the 2 functions
function etch(address yay) public returns (bytes32 slate) {
bytes32 hash = keccak256(abi.encodePacked(yay));
slates[hash] = yay;
return hash;
}
function voteSlate(bytes32 slate) public {
uint weight = deposits[msg.sender];
subWeight(weight, votes[msg.sender]);
votes[msg.sender] = slate;
addWeight(weight, votes[msg.sender]);
}
where the vulnerability can be reproduced by calling voteSlate
before etch
, with slate
value being a hash of yay
address.
To make sure fuzzer includes in the same run a slate
value derived from a yay
address, following fixtures can be defined:
address[] public fixtureYay = [
makeAddr("yay1"),
makeAddr("yay2"),
makeAddr("yay3")
];
bytes32[] public fixtureSlate = [
keccak256(abi.encodePacked(makeAddr("yay1"))),
keccak256(abi.encodePacked(makeAddr("yay2"))),
keccak256(abi.encodePacked(makeAddr("yay3")))
];
Following image shows how fuzzer generates values with and without fixtures being declared:
Invariant Testing
Overview
Invariant testing allows for a set of invariant expressions to be tested against randomized sequences of pre-defined function calls from pre-defined contracts. After each function call is performed, all defined invariants are asserted.
Invariant testing is a powerful tool to expose incorrect logic in protocols. Due to the fact that function call sequences are randomized and have fuzzed inputs, invariant testing can expose false assumptions and incorrect logic in edge cases and highly complex protocol states.
Invariant testing campaigns have two dimensions, runs
and depth
:
runs
: Number of times that a sequence of function calls is generated and run.depth
: Number of function calls made in a givenrun
. Invariants are asserted after each function call is made. If a function call reverts, thedepth
counter still increments.
ℹ️ Note
When implementing invariant tests is important to be aware that for each
invariant_*
function a different EVM executor is created, therefore invariants are not asserted against same EVM state. This means that ifinvariant_A()
andinvariant_B()
functions are defined theninvariant_B()
won’t be asserted against EVM state ofinvariant_A()
(and the other way around).If you want to assert all invariants at the same time then they can be grouped and run on multiple jobs. For example, assert all invariants using two jobs can be implemented as:
function invariant_job1() public { assertInvariants(); } function invariant_job2() public { assertInvariants(); } function assertInvariants() internal { assertEq(val1, val2); assertEq(val3, val4); }
These and other invariant configuration aspects are explained here
.
Similar to how standard tests are run in Foundry by prefixing a function name with test
, invariant tests are denoted by prefixing the function name with invariant
(e.g., function invariant_A()
).
afterInvariant()
function is called at the end of each invariant run (if declared), allowing post campaign processing. This function can be used for logging campaign metrics (e.g. how many times a selector was called) and post fuzz campaign testing (e.g. close out all positions and assert all funds are able to exit the system).
Configuring invariant test execution
Invariant tests execution is governed by parameters that can be controlled by users via Forge configuration primitives. Configs can be applied globally or on a per-test basis. For details on this topic please refer to
📚 Global config
and 📚 In-line config
.
Defining Invariants
Invariants are conditions expressions that should always hold true over the course of a fuzzing campaign. A good invariant testing suite should have as many invariants as possible, and can have different testing suites for different protocol states.
Examples of invariants are:
- “The xy=k formula always holds” for Uniswap
- “The sum of all user balances is equal to the total supply” for an ERC-20 token.
There are different ways to assert invariants, as outlined in the table below:
Type | Explanation | Example |
---|---|---|
Direct assertions | Query a protocol smart contract and assert values are as expected. |
|
Ghost variable assertions | Query a protocol smart contract and compare it against a value that has been persisted in the test environment (ghost variable). |
|
Deoptimizing (Naive implementation assertions) | Query a protocol smart contract and compare it against a naive and typically highly gas-inefficient implementation of the same desired logic. |
|
Conditional Invariants
Invariants must hold over the course of a given fuzzing campaign, but that doesn’t mean they must hold true in every situation. There is the possibility for certain invariants to be introduced/removed in a given scenario (e.g., during a liquidation).
It is not recommended to introduce conditional logic into invariant assertions because they have the possibility of introducing false positives because of an incorrect code path. For example:
function invariant_example() external {
if (protocolCondition) return;
assertEq(val1, val2);
}
In this situation, if protocolCondition == true
, the invariant is not asserted at all. Sometimes this can be desired behavior, but it can cause issues if the protocolCondition
is true for the whole fuzzing campaign unexpectedly, or there is a logic error in the condition itself. For this reason its better to try and define an alternative invariant for that condition as well, for example:
function invariant_example() external {
if (protocolCondition) {
assertLe(val1, val2);
return;
};
assertEq(val1, val2);
}
Another approach to handle different invariants across protocol states is to utilize dedicated invariant testing contracts for different scenarios. These scenarios can be bootstrapped using the setUp
function, but it is more powerful to leverage invariant targets to govern the fuzzer to behave in a way that will only yield certain results (e.g., avoid liquidations).
Invariant Targets
Target Contracts: The set of contracts that will be called over the course of a given invariant test fuzzing campaign. This set of contracts defaults to all contracts that were deployed in the setUp
function, but can be customized to allow for more advanced invariant testing.
Target Senders: The invariant test fuzzer picks values for msg.sender
at random when performing fuzz campaigns to simulate multiple actors in a system by default. If desired, the set of senders can be customized in the setUp
function.
Target Interfaces: The set of addresses and their project identifiers that are not deployed during setUp
but fuzzed in a forked environment (E.g. [(0x1, ["IERC20"]), (0x2, ("IOwnable"))]
). This enables targeting of delegate proxies and contracts deployed with create
or create2
.
Target Selectors: The set of function selectors that are used by the fuzzer for invariant testing. These can be used to use a subset of functions within a given target contract.
Target Artifacts: The desired ABI to be used for a given contract. These can be used for proxy contract configurations.
Target Artifact Selectors: The desired subset of function selectors to be used within a given ABI to be used for a given contract. These can be used for proxy contract configurations.
Priorities for the invariant fuzzer in the cases of target clashes are:
targetInterfaces | targetSelectors > excludeSelectors | targetArtifactSelectors > excludeContracts | excludeArtifacts > targetContracts | targetArtifacts
Function Call Probability Distribution
Functions from these contracts will be called at random (with a uniformly distributed probability) with fuzzed inputs.
For example:
targetContract1:
├─ function1: 20%
└─ function2: 20%
targetContract2:
├─ function1: 20%
├─ function2: 20%
└─ function3: 20%
This is something to be mindful of when designing target contracts, as target contracts with less functions will have each function called more often due to this probability distribution.
Invariant Test Helper Functions
Invariant test helper functions are included in
forge-std
to allow for configurable invariant test setup. The helper functions are outlined below:
Function | Description |
---|---|
excludeContract(address newExcludedContract_) | Adds a given address to the _excludedContracts array. This set of contracts is explicitly excluded from the target contracts. |
excludeSelector(FuzzSelector memory newExcludedSelector_) | Adds a given FuzzSelector to the _excludedSelectors array. This set of FuzzSelector s is explicitly excluded from the target contract selectors. |
excludeSender(address newExcludedSender_) | Adds a given address to the _excludedSenders array. This set of addresses is explicitly excluded from the target senders. |
excludeArtifact(string memory newExcludedArtifact_) | Adds a given string to the _excludedArtifacts array. This set of strings is explicitly excluded from the target artifacts. |
targetArtifact(string memory newTargetedArtifact_) | Adds a given string to the _targetedArtifacts array. This set of strings is used for the target artifacts. |
targetArtifactSelector(FuzzArtifactSelector memory newTargetedArtifactSelector_) | Adds a given FuzzArtifactSelector to the _targetedArtifactSelectors array. This set of FuzzArtifactSelector s is used for the target artifact selectors. |
targetContract(address newTargetedContract_) | Adds a given address to the _targetedContracts array. This set of addresses is used for the target contracts. This array overwrites the set of contracts that was deployed during the setUp . |
targetSelector(FuzzSelector memory newTargetedSelector_) | Adds a given FuzzSelector to the _targetedSelectors array. This set of FuzzSelector s is used for the target contract selectors. |
targetSender(address newTargetedSender_) | Adds a given address to the _targetedSenders array. This set of addresses is used for the target senders. |
targetInterface(FuzzInterface memory newTargetedInterface_) | Adds a given FuzzInterface to the _targetedInterfaces array. This set of FuzzInterface extends the contracts and selectors to fuzz and enables targeting of addresses that are not deployed during setUp such as when fuzzing in a forked environment. Also enables targeting of delegate proxies and contracts deployed with create or create2 . |
Target Contract Setup
Target contracts can be set up using the following three methods:
- Contracts that are manually added to the
targetContracts
array are added to the set of target contracts. - Contracts that are deployed in the
setUp
function are automatically added to the set of target contracts (only works if no contracts have been manually added using option 1). - Contracts that are deployed in the
setUp
can be removed from the target contracts if they are added to theexcludeContracts
array.
Open Testing
The default configuration for target contracts is set to all contracts that are deployed during the setup. For smaller modules and more arithmetic contracts, this works well. For example:
contract ExampleContract1 {
uint256 public val1;
uint256 public val2;
uint256 public val3;
function addToA(uint256 amount) external {
val1 += amount;
val3 += amount;
}
function addToB(uint256 amount) external {
val2 += amount;
val3 += amount;
}
}
This contract could be deployed and tested using the default target contract pattern:
contract InvariantExample1 is Test {
ExampleContract1 foo;
function setUp() external {
foo = new ExampleContract1();
}
function invariant_A() external {
assertEq(foo.val1() + foo.val2(), foo.val3());
}
function invariant_B() external {
assertGe(foo.val1() + foo.val2(), foo.val3());
}
}
This setup will call foo.addToA()
and foo.addToB()
with a 50%-50% probability distribution with fuzzed inputs. Inevitably, the inputs will start to cause overflows and the function calls will start reverting. Since the default configuration in invariant testing is fail_on_revert = false
, this will not cause the tests to fail. The invariants will hold throughout the rest of the fuzzing campaign and the result is that the test will pass. The output will look something like this:
[PASS] invariant_A() (runs: 50, calls: 10000, reverts: 5533)
[PASS] invariant_B() (runs: 50, calls: 10000, reverts: 5533)
Handler-Based Testing
For more complex and integrated protocols, more sophisticated target contract usage is required to achieve the desired results. To illustrate how Handlers can be leveraged, the following contract will be used (an ERC-4626 based contract that accepts deposits of another ERC-20 token):
// SPDX-License-Identifier: UNLICENSED
pragma solidity ^0.8.17;
interface IERC20Like {
function balanceOf(address owner_) external view returns (uint256 balance_);
function transferFrom(
address owner_,
address recipient_,
uint256 amount_
) external returns (bool success_);
}
contract Basic4626Deposit {
/**********************************************************************************************/
/*** Storage ***/
/**********************************************************************************************/
address public immutable asset;
string public name;
string public symbol;
uint8 public immutable decimals;
uint256 public totalSupply;
mapping(address => uint256) public balanceOf;
/**********************************************************************************************/
/*** Constructor ***/
/**********************************************************************************************/
constructor(address asset_, string memory name_, string memory symbol_, uint8 decimals_) {
asset = asset_;
name = name_;
symbol = symbol_;
decimals = decimals_;
}
/**********************************************************************************************/
/*** External Functions ***/
/**********************************************************************************************/
function deposit(uint256 assets_, address receiver_) external returns (uint256 shares_) {
shares_ = convertToShares(assets_);
require(receiver_ != address(0), "ZERO_RECEIVER");
require(shares_ != uint256(0), "ZERO_SHARES");
require(assets_ != uint256(0), "ZERO_ASSETS");
totalSupply += shares_;
// Cannot overflow because totalSupply would first overflow in the statement above.
unchecked { balanceOf[receiver_] += shares_; }
require(
IERC20Like(asset).transferFrom(msg.sender, address(this), assets_),
"TRANSFER_FROM"
);
}
function transfer(address recipient_, uint256 amount_) external returns (bool success_) {
balanceOf[msg.sender] -= amount_;
// Cannot overflow because minting prevents overflow of totalSupply,
// and sum of user balances == totalSupply.
unchecked { balanceOf[recipient_] += amount_; }
return true;
}
/**********************************************************************************************/
/*** Public View Functions ***/
/**********************************************************************************************/
function convertToShares(uint256 assets_) public view returns (uint256 shares_) {
uint256 supply_ = totalSupply; // Cache to stack.
shares_ = supply_ == 0 ? assets_ : (assets_ * supply_) / totalAssets();
}
function totalAssets() public view returns (uint256 assets_) {
assets_ = IERC20Like(asset).balanceOf(address(this));
}
}
Handler Functions
This contract’s deposit
function requires that the caller has a non-zero balance of the ERC-20 asset
. In the Open invariant testing approach, deposit()
and transfer()
would be called with a 50-50% distribution, but they would revert on every call. This would cause the invariant tests to “pass”, but in reality no state was manipulated in the desired contract at all. This is where target contracts can be leveraged. When a contract requires some additional logic in order to function properly, it can be added in a dedicated contract called a Handler
.
function deposit(uint256 assets) public virtual {
asset.mint(address(this), assets);
asset.approve(address(token), assets);
uint256 shares = token.deposit(assets, address(this));
}
This contract will provide the necessary setup before a function call is made in order to ensure it is successful.
Building on this concept, Handlers can be used to develop more sophisticated invariant tests. With Open invariant testing, the tests run as shown in the diagram below, with random sequences of function calls being made to the protocol contracts directly with fuzzed parameters. This will cause reverts for more complex systems as outlined above.
By manually adding all Handler contracts to the targetContracts
array, all function calls made to protocol contracts can be made in a way that is governed by the Handler to ensure successful calls. This is outlined in the diagram below.
With this layer between the fuzzer and the protocol, more powerful testing can be achieved.
Handler Ghost Variables
Within Handlers, “ghost variables” can be tracked across multiple function calls to add additional information for invariant tests. A good example of this is summing all of the shares
that each LP owns after depositing into the ERC-4626 token as shown above, and using that in the invariant (totalSupply == sumBalanceOf
).
function deposit(uint256 assets) public virtual {
asset.mint(address(this), assets);
asset.approve(address(token), assets);
uint256 shares = token.deposit(assets, address(this));
sumBalanceOf += shares;
}
Function-Level Assertions
Another benefit is the ability to perform assertions on function calls as they are happening. An example is asserting the ERC-20 balance of the LP has decremented by assets
during the deposit
function call, as well as their LP token balance incrementing by shares
. In this way, handler functions are similar to fuzz tests because they can take in fuzzed inputs, perform state changes, and assert before/after state.
function deposit(uint256 assets) public virtual {
asset.mint(address(this), assets);
asset.approve(address(token), assets);
uint256 beforeBalance = asset.balanceOf(address(this));
uint256 shares = token.deposit(assets, address(this));
assertEq(asset.balanceOf(address(this)), beforeBalance - assets);
sumBalanceOf += shares;
}
Bounded/Unbounded Functions
In addition, with Handlers, input parameters can be bounded to reasonable expected values such that fail_on_revert
in foundry.toml
can be set to true
. This can be accomplished using the bound()
helper function from forge-std
. This ensures that every function call that is being made by the fuzzer must be successful against the protocol in order to get tests to pass. This is very useful for visibility and confidence that the protocol is being tested in the desired way.
function deposit(uint256 assets) external {
assets = bound(assets, 0, 1e30);
asset.mint(address(this), assets);
asset.approve(address(token), assets);
uint256 beforeBalance = asset.balanceOf(address(this));
uint256 shares = token.deposit(assets, address(this));
assertEq(asset.balanceOf(address(this)), beforeBalance - assets);
sumBalanceOf += shares;
}
This can also be accomplished by inheriting non-bounded functions from dedicated “unbounded” Handler contracts that can be used for fail_on_revert = false
testing. This type of testing is also useful since it can expose issues in assumptions made with bound
function usage.
// Unbounded
function deposit(uint256 assets) public virtual {
asset.mint(address(this), assets);
asset.approve(address(token), assets);
uint256 beforeBalance = asset.balanceOf(address(this));
uint256 shares = token.deposit(assets, address(this));
assertEq(asset.balanceOf(address(this)), beforeBalance - assets);
sumBalanceOf += shares;
}
// Bounded
function deposit(uint256 assets) external {
assets = bound(assets, 0, 1e30);
super.deposit(assets);
}
Actor Management
In the function calls above, it can be seen that address(this)
is the sole depositor in the ERC-4626 contract, which is not a realistic representation of its intended use. By leveraging the prank
cheatcodes in forge-std
, each Handler can manage a set of actors and use them to perform the same function call from different msg.sender
addresses. This can be accomplished using the following modifier:
address[] public actors;
address internal currentActor;
modifier useActor(uint256 actorIndexSeed) {
currentActor = actors[bound(actorIndexSeed, 0, actors.length - 1)];
vm.startPrank(currentActor);
_;
vm.stopPrank();
}
Using multiple actors allows for more granular ghost variable usage as well. This is demonstrated in the functions below:
// Unbounded
function deposit(
uint256 assets,
uint256 actorIndexSeed
) public virtual useActor(actorIndexSeed) {
asset.mint(currentActor, assets);
asset.approve(address(token), assets);
uint256 beforeBalance = asset.balanceOf(address(this));
uint256 shares = token.deposit(assets, address(this));
assertEq(asset.balanceOf(address(this)), beforeBalance - assets);
sumBalanceOf += shares;
sumDeposits[currentActor] += assets
}
// Bounded
function deposit(uint256 assets, uint256 actorIndexSeed) external {
assets = bound(assets, 0, 1e30);
super.deposit(assets, actorIndexSeed);
}
Differential Testing
Forge can be used for differential testing and differential fuzzing. You can even test against non-EVM executables using the ffi
cheatcode.
Background
Differential testing cross references multiple implementations of the same function by comparing each one’s output. Imagine we have a function specification F(X)
, and two implementations of that specification: f1(X)
and f2(X)
. We expect f1(x) == f2(x)
for all x that exist in an appropriate input space. If f1(x) != f2(x)
, we know that at least one function is incorrectly implementing F(X)
. This process of testing for equality and identifying discrepancies is the core of differential testing.
Differential fuzzing is an extension of differential testing. Differential fuzzing programmatically generates many values of x
to find discrepancies and edge cases that manually chosen inputs might not reveal.
Note: the
==
operator in this case can be a custom definition of equality. For example, if testing floating point implementations, you might use approximate equality with a certain tolerance.
Some real life uses of this type of testing include:
- Comparing upgraded implementations to their predecessors
- Testing code against known reference implementations
- Confirming compatibility with third party tools and dependencies
Below are some examples of how Forge is used for differential testing.
Primer: The ffi
cheatcode
ffi
allows you to execute an arbitrary shell command and capture the output. Here’s a mock example:
import {Test} from "forge-std/Test.sol";
contract TestContract is Test {
function testMyFFI () public {
string[] memory cmds = new string[](2);
cmds[0] = "cat";
cmds[1] = "address.txt"; // assume contains abi-encoded address.
bytes memory result = vm.ffi(cmds);
address loadedAddress = abi.decode(result, (address));
// Do something with the address
// ...
}
}
An address has previously been written to address.txt
, and we read it in using the FFI cheatcode. This data can now be used throughout your test contract.
Example: Differential Testing Merkle Tree Implementations
Merkle Trees are a cryptographic commitment scheme frequently used in blockchain applications. Their popularity has led to a number of different implementations of Merkle Tree generators, provers, and verifiers. Merkle roots and proofs are often generated using a language like JavaScript or Python, while proof verification usually occurs on-chain in Solidity.
Murky is a complete implementation of Merkle roots, proofs, and verification in Solidity. Its test suite includes differential tests against OpenZeppelin’s Merkle proof library, as well as root generation tests against a reference JavaScript implementation. These tests are powered by Foundry’s fuzzing and ffi
capabilities.
Differential fuzzing against a reference TypeScript implementation
Using the ffi
cheatcode, Murky tests its own Merkle root implementation against a TypeScript implementation using data provided by Forge’s fuzzer:
function testMerkleRootMatchesJSImplementationFuzzed(bytes32[] memory leaves) public {
vm.assume(leaves.length > 1);
bytes memory packed = abi.encodePacked(leaves);
string[] memory runJsInputs = new string[](8);
// Build ffi command string
runJsInputs[0] = 'npm';
runJsInputs[1] = '--prefix';
runJsInputs[2] = 'differential_testing/scripts/';
runJsInputs[3] = '--silent';
runJsInputs[4] = 'run';
runJsInputs[5] = 'generate-root-cli';
runJsInputs[6] = leaves.length.toString();
runJsInputs[7] = packed.toHexString();
// Run command and capture output
bytes memory jsResult = vm.ffi(runJsInputs);
bytes32 jsGeneratedRoot = abi.decode(jsResult, (bytes32));
// Calculate root using Murky
bytes32 murkyGeneratedRoot = m.getRoot(leaves);
assertEq(murkyGeneratedRoot, jsGeneratedRoot);
}
Note: see
Strings2.sol
in the Murky Repo for the library that enables(bytes memory).toHexString()
Forge runs npm --prefix differential_testing/scripts/ --silent run generate-root-cli {numLeaves} {hexEncodedLeaves}
. This calculates the Merkle root for the input data using the reference JavaScript implementation. The script prints the root to stdout, and that printout is captured as bytes
in the return value of vm.ffi()
.
The test then calculates the root using the Solidity implementation.
Finally, the test asserts that the both roots are exactly equal. If they are not equal, the test fails.
Differential fuzzing against OpenZeppelin’s Merkle Proof Library
You may want to use differential testing against another Solidity implementation. In that case, ffi
is not needed. Instead, the reference implementation is imported directly into the test.
import {MerkleProof} from "openzeppelin-contracts/contracts/utils/cryptography/MerkleProof.sol";
//...
function testCompatibilityOpenZeppelinProver(bytes32[] memory _data, uint256 node) public {
vm.assume(_data.length > 1);
vm.assume(node < _data.length);
bytes32 root = m.getRoot(_data);
bytes32[] memory proof = m.getProof(_data, node);
bytes32 valueToProve = _data[node];

Differential testing against a known edge case
Differential tests are not always fuzzed – they are also useful for testing known edge cases. In the case of the Murky codebase, the initial implementation of the log2ceil
function did not work for certain arrays whose lengths were close to a power of 2 (like 129). As a safety check, a test is always run against an array of this length and compared to the TypeScript implementation. You can see the full test here.
Standardized Testing against reference data
FFI is also useful for injecting reproducible, standardized data into the testing environment. In the Murky library, this is used as a benchmark for gas snapshotting (see forge snapshot).
bytes32[100] data;
uint256[8] leaves = [4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42, 69, 88];
function setUp() public {
string[] memory inputs = new string[](2);
inputs[0] = "cat";
inputs[1] = "src/test/standard_data/StandardInput.txt";
bytes memory result = vm.ffi(inputs);
data = abi.decode(result, (bytes32[100]));
m = new Merkle();
}
function testMerkleGenerateProofStandard() public view {
bytes32[] memory _data = _getData();
for (uint i = 0; i < leaves.length; ++i) {
m.getProof(_data, leaves[i]);
}
}
src/test/standard_data/StandardInput.txt
is a text file that contains an encoded bytes32[100]
array. It’s generated outside of the test and can be used in any language’s Web3 SDK. It looks something like:
0xf910ccaa307836354233316666386231414464306335333243453944383735313..423532
The standardized testing contract reads in the file using ffi
. It decodes the data into an array and then, in this example, generates proofs for 8 different leaves. Because the data is constant and standard, we can meaningfully measure gas and performance improvements using this test.
Of course, one could just hardcode the array into the test! But that makes it much harder to do consistent testing across contracts, implementations, etc.
Example: Differential Testing Gradual Dutch Auctions
The reference implementation for Paradigm’s Gradual Dutch Auction mechanism contains a number of differential, fuzzed tests. It is an excellent repository to further explore differential testing using ffi
.
- Differential tests for Discrete GDAs
- Differential tests for Continuous GDAs
- Reference Python implementation

Deploying
Forge can deploy smart contracts to a given network with the forge create
command.
Forge CLI can deploy only one contract at a time.
For deploying and verifying multiple smart contracts in one go, Forge’s Solidity scripting would be the more efficient approach.
To deploy a contract, you must provide a RPC URL (env: ETH_RPC_URL
) and the private key of the account that will deploy the contract.
To deploy MyContract
to a network:
$ forge create --rpc-url <your_rpc_url> --private-key <your_private_key> src/MyContract.sol:MyContract
compiling...
success.
Deployer: 0xa735b3c25f...
Deployed to: 0x4054415432...
Transaction hash: 0x6b4e0ff93a...
Solidity files may contain multiple contracts. :MyContract
above specifies which contract to deploy from the src/MyContract.sol
file.
Use the --constructor-args
flag to pass arguments to the constructor:
// SPDX-License-Identifier: UNLICENSED
pragma solidity ^0.8.0;
import {ERC20} from "solmate/tokens/ERC20.sol";
contract MyToken is ERC20 {
constructor(
string memory name,
string memory symbol,
uint8 decimals,
uint256 initialSupply
) ERC20(name, symbol, decimals) {
_mint(msg.sender, initialSupply);
}
}
Additionally, we can tell Forge to verify our contract on Etherscan, Sourcify or Blockscout, if the network is supported, by passing --verify
.
$ forge create --rpc-url <your_rpc_url> \
--constructor-args "ForgeUSD" "FUSD" 18 1000000000000000000000 \
--private-key <your_private_key> \
--etherscan-api-key <your_etherscan_api_key> \
--verify \
src/MyToken.sol:MyToken
Verifying a pre-existing contract
It is recommended to use the --verify
flag with forge create
to automatically verify the contract on explorer after a deployment.
Note that for Etherscan ETHERSCAN_API_KEY
must be set.
If you are verifying an already deployed contract, read on.
You can verify a contract on Etherscan, Sourcify, oklink or Blockscout with the forge verify-contract
command.
You must provide:
- the contract address
- the contract name or the path to the contract
<path>:<contractname>
- your Etherscan API key (env:
ETHERSCAN_API_KEY
) (if verifying on Etherscan).
Moreover, you may need to provide:
- the constructor arguments in the ABI-encoded format, if there are any
- compiler version used for build, with 8 hex digits from the commit version prefix (the commit will usually not be a nightly build). It is auto-detected if not specified.
- the number of optimizations, if the Solidity optimizer was activated. It is auto-detected if not specified.
- the chain ID, if the contract is not on Ethereum Mainnet
Let’s say you want to verify MyToken
(see above). You set the number of optimizations to 1 million, compiled it with v0.8.10, and deployed it, as shown above, to the Sepolia testnet (chain ID: 11155111). Note that --num-of-optimizations
will default to 0 if not set on verification, while it defaults to 200 if not set on deployment, so make sure you pass --num-of-optimizations 200
if you left the default compilation settings.
Here’s how to verify it:
forge verify-contract \
--chain-id 11155111 \
--num-of-optimizations 1000000 \
--watch \
--constructor-args $(cast abi-encode "constructor(string,string,uint256,uint256)" "ForgeUSD" "FUSD" 18 1000000000000000000000) \
--etherscan-api-key <your_etherscan_api_key> \
--compiler-version v0.8.10+commit.fc410830 \
<the_contract_address> \
src/MyToken.sol:MyToken
Submitted contract for verification:
Response: `OK`
GUID: `a6yrbjp5prvakia6bqp5qdacczyfhkyi5j1r6qbds1js41ak1a`
url: https://sepolia.etherscan.io//address/0x6a54…3a4c#code
It is recommended to use the --watch
flag along
with verify-contract
command in order to poll for the verification result.
If the --watch
flag was not supplied, you can check
the verification status with the forge verify-check
command:
$ forge verify-check --chain-id 11155111 <GUID> <your_etherscan_api_key>
Contract successfully verified.
💡 Tip
Use Cast’s
abi-encode
to ABI-encode arguments.In this example, we ran
cast abi-encode "constructor(string,string,uint8,uint256)" "ForgeUSD" "FUSD" 18 1000000000000000000000
to ABI-encode the arguments.
Troubleshooting
missing hex prefix ("0x") for hex string
Make sure the private key string begins with 0x
.
EIP-1559 not activated
EIP-1559 is not supported or not activated on the RPC server. Pass the --legacy
flag to use legacy transactions instead of the EIP-1559 ones. If you do development in a local environment, you can use Hardhat instead of Ganache.
Failed to parse tokens
Make sure the passed arguments are of correct type.
Signature error
Make sure the private key is correct.
Compiler version commit for verify
If you want to check the exact commit you are running locally, try: ~/.svm/0.x.y/solc-0.x.y --version
where x
and
y
are major and minor version numbers respectively. The output of this will be something like:
solc, the solidity compiler commandline interface
Version: 0.8.12+commit.f00d7308.Darwin.appleclang
Note: You cannot just paste the entire string “0.8.12+commit.f00d7308.Darwin.appleclang” as the argument for the compiler-version. But you can use the 8 hex digits of the commit to look up exactly what you should copy and paste from compiler version.
Known Issues
Verifying Contracts With Ambiguous Import Paths
Forge passes source directories (src
, lib
, test
etc) as --include-path
arguments to the compiler.
This means that given the following project tree
|- src
|-- folder
|--- Contract.sol
|--- IContract.sol
it is possible to import IContract
inside the Contract.sol
using folder/IContract.sol
import path.
Etherscan is not able to recompile such sources. Consider changing the imports to use relative import path.
Verifying Contracts With No Bytecode Hash
Currently, it’s not possible to verify contracts on Etherscan with bytecode_hash
set to none
.
Click here to learn more about
how metadata hash is used for source code verification.
Gas Tracking
Forge can help you estimate how much gas your contract will consume.
Currently, Forge ships with three different tools for this job:
- Gas reports: Gas reports give you an overview of how much Forge thinks the individual functions in your contracts will consume in gas.
- Gas function snapshots: Gas function snapshots give you an overview of how much each test function consumes in gas.
- Gas section snapshots: Gas section snapshots give you the ability to capture gas usage over arbitrary sections inside of test functions.
This also tracks internal gas usage. You can access this by using the
snapshotGas*
cheatcodes inside your tests.
Gas reports, gas function snapshots and gas section snapshots differ in some ways:
- Gas reports use tracing to figure out gas costs for individual contract calls.
This gives more granular insight, at the cost of speed. - Gas function snapshots have more built-in tools, such as diffs and exporting the results to a file. Snapshots are not as granular as gas reports, but they are faster to generate.
- Gas section snapshots provides the most granular way to capture gas usage. Every captured gas snapshot is written to a file in a
snapshots
directory. By default these snapshots are grouped by the contract name of the test.
Gas Reports
Forge can produce gas reports for your contracts. You can configure which contracts output gas reports via the gas_reports
field in foundry.toml
.
To produce reports for specific contracts:
gas_reports = ["MyContract", "MyContractFactory"]
To produce reports for all contracts:
gas_reports = ["*"]
To generate gas reports, run forge test --gas-report
.
You can also use it in combination with other subcommands, such as forge test --match-test testBurn --gas-report
, to generate only a gas report relevant to this test.

Gas Function Snapshots
Forge can generate gas snapshots for all your test functions. This can be useful to get a general feel for how much gas your contract will consume, or to compare gas usage before and after various optimizations.
To generate the gas snapshot, run forge snapshot
.
This will generate a file called .gas-snapshot
by default with all your
tests and their respective gas usage.
$ forge snapshot
$ cat .gas-snapshot
ERC20Test:testApprove() (gas: 31162)
ERC20Test:testBurn() (gas: 59875)
ERC20Test:testFailTransferFromInsufficientAllowance() (gas: 81034)
ERC20Test:testFailTransferFromInsufficientBalance() (gas: 81662)
ERC20Test:testFailTransferInsufficientBalance() (gas: 52882)
ERC20Test:testInfiniteApproveTransferFrom() (gas: 90167)
ERC20Test:testMetadata() (gas: 14606)
ERC20Test:testMint() (gas: 53830)
ERC20Test:testTransfer() (gas: 60473)
ERC20Test:testTransferFrom() (gas: 84152)
Filtering
If you would like to specify a different output file, run forge snapshot --snap <FILE_NAME>
.
You can also sort the results by gas usage. Use the --asc
option to sort the results in
ascending order and --desc
to sort the results in descending order.
Finally, you can also specify a min/max gas threshold for all your tests.
To only include results above a threshold, you can use the --min <VALUE>
option.
In the same way, to only include results under a threshold,
you can use the --max <VALUE>
option.
Keep in mind that the changes will be made in the snapshot file, and not in the snapshot being displayed on your screen.
You can also use it in combination with the filters for forge test
, such as forge snapshot --match-path contracts/test/ERC721.t.sol
to generate a gas snapshot relevant to this test contract.
Comparing gas usage
If you would like to compare the current snapshot file with your
latest changes, you can use the --diff
or --check
options.
--diff
will compare against the snapshot and display changes from the snapshot.
It can also optionally take a file name (--diff <FILE_NAME>
), with the default
being .gas-snapshot
.
For example:
$ forge snapshot --diff .gas-snapshot2

--check
will compare a snapshot with an existing snapshot file and display all the
differences, if any. You can change the file to compare against by providing a different file name: --check <FILE_NAME>
.

Gas Section Snapshots
Forge can capture gas snapshots over arbitrary sections inside of your test functions. This can be useful to get a granular measurement of how much gas your logic is consuming as both external calls and internal gas usage are measured.
Instead of running a command like forge snapshot
or forge test --gas-report
, you use the snapshotGas
cheatcodes in your tests to capture gas usage as follows:
snapshotGas
cheatcodes
Signature
/// Start a snapshot capture of the current gas usage by name.
/// The group name is derived from the contract name.
function startSnapshotGas(string calldata name) external;
/// Start a snapshot capture of the current gas usage by name in a group.
function startSnapshotGas(string calldata group, string calldata name) external;
/// Stop the snapshot capture of the current gas by latest snapshot name, capturing the gas used since the start.
function stopSnapshotGas() external returns (uint256 gasUsed);
/// Stop the snapshot capture of the current gas usage by name, capturing the gas used since the start.
/// The group name is derived from the contract name.
function stopSnapshotGas(string calldata name) external returns (uint256 gasUsed);
/// Stop the snapshot capture of the current gas usage by name in a group, capturing the gas used since the start.
function stopSnapshotGas(string calldata group, string calldata name) external returns (uint256 gasUsed);
/// Snapshot capture an arbitrary numerical value by name.
/// The group name is derived from the contract name.
function snapshotValue(string calldata name, uint256 value) external;
/// Snapshot capture an arbitrary numerical value by name in a group.
function snapshotValue(string calldata group, string calldata name, uint256 value) external;
/// Snapshot capture the gas usage of the last call by name from the callee perspective.
function snapshotGasLastCall(string calldata name) external returns (uint256 gasUsed);
/// Snapshot capture the gas usage of the last call by name in a group from the callee perspective.
function snapshotGasLastCall(string calldata group, string calldata name) external returns (uint256 gasUsed);
Description
snapshotGas*
cheatcodes allow you to capture gas usage in your tests. This can be useful to track how much gas your logic is consuming. You can capture the gas usage of the last call by name, capture an arbitrary numerical value by name, or start and stop a snapshot capture of the current gas usage by name.
In order to strictly compare gas usage across test runs, set the FORGE_SNAPSHOT_CHECK
environment variable to true
before running your tests. This will compare the gas usage of your tests against the last snapshot and fail if the gas usage has changed. By default the snapshots directory will be newly created and its contents removed before each test run to ensure no stale data is present.
It is intended that the snapshots
directory created when using the snapshotGas*
cheatcodes is checked into version control. This allows you to track changes in gas usage over time and compare gas usage during code reviews.
When running forge clean
the snapshots
directory will be deleted.
Examples
Capturing the gas usage of a section of code that calls an external contract:
contract SnapshotGasTest is Test {
uint256 public slot0;
Flare public flare;
function setUp() public {
flare = new Flare();
}
function testSnapshotGas() public {
vm.startSnapshotGas("externalA");
flare.run(256);
uint256 gasUsed = vm.stopSnapshotGas();
}
}
Capturing the gas usage of multiple sections of code that modify the internal state:
contract SnapshotGasTest is Test {
uint256 public slot0;
/// Writes to `snapshots/SnapshotGasTest.json` group with name `internalA`, `internalB`, and `internalC`.
function testSnapshotGas() public {
vm.startSnapshotGas("internalA");
slot0 = 1;
vm.stopSnapshotGas();
vm.startSnapshotGas("internalB");
slot0 = 2;
vm.stopSnapshotGas();
vm.startSnapshotGas("internalC");
slot0 = 0;
vm.stopSnapshotGas();
}
}
Capturing the gas usage of a section of code that modifies both the internal state and calls an external contract:
contract SnapshotGasTest is Test {
uint256 public slot0;
Flare public flare;
function setUp() public {
flare = new Flare();
}
/// Writes to `snapshots/SnapshotGasTest.json` group with name `combinedA`.
function testSnapshotGas() public {
vm.startSnapshotGas("combinedA");
flare.run(256);
slot0 = 1;
vm.stopSnapshotGas();
}
}
Capturing an arbitrary numerical value (such as the bytecode size of a contract):
```solidity
contract SnapshotGasTest is Test {
uint256 public slot0;
/// Writes to `snapshots/SnapshotGasTest.json` group with name `valueA`, `valueB`, and `valueC`.
function testSnapshotValue() public {
uint256 a = 123;
uint256 b = 456;
uint256 c = 789;
vm.snapshotValue("valueA", a);
vm.snapshotValue("valueB", b);
vm.snapshotValue("valueC", c);
}
}
Capturing the gas usage of the last call from the callee perspective:
contract SnapshotGasTest is Test {
Flare public flare;
function setUp() public {
flare = new Flare();
}
/// Writes to `snapshots/SnapshotGasTest.json` group with name `lastCallA`.
function testSnapshotGasLastCall() public {
flare.run(1);
vm.snapshotGasLastCall("lastCallA");
}
}
For each of the above examples you can also use the group
variant of the cheatcodes to group the snapshots together in a custom group.
contract SnapshotGasTest is Test {
uint256 public slot0;
/// Writes to `snapshots/CustomGroup.json` group with name `internalA`, `internalB`, and `internalC`.
function testSnapshotGas() public {
vm.startSnapshotGas("CustomGroup", "internalA");
slot0 = 1;
vm.stopSnapshotGas();
vm.startSnapshotGas("CustomGroup", "internalB");
slot0 = 2;
vm.stopSnapshotGas();
vm.startSnapshotGas("CustomGroup", "internalC");
slot0 = 0;
vm.stopSnapshotGas();
}
}
Debugger
Forge ships with an interactive debugger.
The debugger is accessible on forge debug
and on forge test
.
Using forge test
:
$ forge test --debug $FUNC
Where $FUNC
is the signature of the function you want to debug. For example:
$ forge test --debug "testSomething()"
If you have multiple contracts with the same function name, you need to limit the matching functions down to only one case using --match-path
and --match-contract
.
If the matching test is a fuzz test, the debugger will open the first failing fuzz scenario, or the last successful one, whichever comes first.
Using forge debug
:
$ forge debug --debug $FILE --sig $FUNC
Where $FILE
is the path to the contract you want to debug, and $FUNC
is the signature of the function you want to debug. For example:
$ forge debug --debug src/SomeContract.sol --sig "myFunc(uint256,string)" 123 "hello"
You can also specify raw calldata using --sig
instead of a function signature.
If your source file contains more than one contract, specify the contract you want to debug using the --target-contract
flag.
Debugger layout
When the debugger is run, you are presented with a terminal divided into four quadrants:
- Quadrant 1: The opcodes in the debugging session, with the current opcode highlighted. Additionally, the address of the current account, the program counter and the accumulated gas usage is also displayed
- Quadrant 2: The current stack, as well as the size of the stack
- Quadrant 3: The source view
- Quadrant 4: The current memory of the EVM
As you step through your code, you will notice that the words in the stack and memory sometimes change color.
For the memory:
- Red words are about to be written to by the current opcode
- Green words were written to by the previous opcode
- Cyan words are being read by the current opcode
For the stack, cyan words are either being read or popped by the current opcode.
⚠️ Note
In most test frameworks, the first test assertion to fail is the one reported. In foundry, the last test assertion to fail (that comes from DSTest or cheatcodes) is the one to be reported.

Overview of Cast
Cast is Foundry’s command-line tool for performing Ethereum RPC calls. You can make smart contract calls, send transactions, or retrieve any type of chain data - all from your command-line!
How to use Cast
To use Cast, run the cast
command followed by a subcommand:
$ cast <subcommand>
Examples
Let’s use cast
to retrieve the total supply of the DAI token:
$ cast call 0x6b175474e89094c44da98b954eedeac495271d0f "totalSupply()(uint256)" --rpc-url https://eth-mainnet.alchemyapi.io/v2/Lc7oIGYeL_QvInzI0Wiu_pOZZDEKBrdf
3305027208215139393683440753 [3.305e27]
cast
also provides many convenient subcommands, such as for decoding calldata:
$ cast 4byte-decode 0x1F1F897F676d00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000003e7
1) "fulfillRandomness(bytes32,uint256)"
0x676d000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
999
You can also use cast
to send arbitrary messages. Here’s an example of sending a message between two Anvil accounts.
$ cast send --private-key <Your Private Key> 0x3c44cdddb6a900fa2b585dd299e03d12fa4293bc $(cast from-utf8 "hello world") --rpc-url http://127.0.0.1:8545/
📚 Reference
See the
cast
Reference for a complete overview of all the available subcommands.
Overview of Anvil
Anvil is a local testnet node shipped with Foundry. You can use it for testing your contracts from frontends or for interacting over RPC.
Anvil is part of the Foundry suite and is installed alongside forge
, cast
, and chisel
. If you haven’t installed Foundry yet, see Foundry installation.
Note: If you have an older version of Foundry installed, you’ll need to re-install
foundryup
in order for Anvil to be downloaded.
How to use Anvil
To use Anvil, simply type anvil
. You should see a list of accounts and private keys available for use, as well as the address and port that the node is listening on.
Anvil is highly configurable. You can run anvil -h
to see all the configuration options.
Some basic options are:
# Number of dev accounts to generate and configure. [default: 10]
anvil -a, --accounts <ACCOUNTS>
# The EVM hardfork to use. [default: latest]
anvil --hardfork <HARDFORK>
# Port number to listen on. [default: 8545]
anvil -p, --port <PORT>
📚 Reference
See the
anvil
Reference for in depth information on Anvil and its capabilities.
Overview of Chisel
Chisel is an advanced Solidity REPL shipped with Foundry. It can be used to quickly test the behavior of Solidity snippets on a local or forked network.
Chisel is part of the Foundry suite and is installed alongside forge
, cast
, and anvil
. If you haven’t installed Foundry
yet, see Foundry installation.
Note: If you have an older version of Foundry installed, you’ll need to re-install
foundryup
in order for Chisel to be downloaded.
How to use Chisel
To use Chisel, simply type chisel
. From there, start writing Solidity code! Chisel will offer verbose feedback on each input.
Chisel can be used both within and outside of a foundry project. If the binary is executed in a Foundry project root, Chisel will inherit the project’s configuration options.
To see available commands, type !help
within the REPL.
📚 Reference
See the
chisel
Reference for in depth information on Chisel and its capabilities.
Configuring with foundry.toml
Forge can be configured using a configuration file called foundry.toml
, which is placed in the root of your project.
Configuration can be namespaced by profiles. The default profile is named default
, from which all other profiles inherit. You are free to customize the default
profile, and add as many new profiles as you need.
Additionally, you can create a global foundry.toml
in your home directory.
Let’s take a look at a configuration file that contains two profiles: the default profile, which always enables the optimizer, as well as a CI profile, that always displays traces:
[profile.default]
optimizer = true
optimizer_runs = 20_000
[profile.ci]
verbosity = 4
When running forge
, you can specify the profile to use using the FOUNDRY_PROFILE
environment variable.
Standalone sections
Besides the profile sections, the configuration file can also contain standalone sections ([fmt]
, [fuzz]
, [invariant]
etc). By default, each standalone section belongs to the default
profile.
i.e. [fmt]
is equivalent to [profile.default.fmt]
.
To configure the standalone section for different profiles other than default
, use syntax [profile.<profile name>.<standalone>]
.
i.e. [profile.ci.fuzz]
.
📚 Reference
See the
foundry.toml
Reference for a complete overview of what you can configure.
Continuous Integration
GitHub Actions
To test your project using GitHub Actions, here is a sample workflow:
on: [push]
name: test
jobs:
check:
name: Foundry project
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
with:
submodules: recursive
- name: Install Foundry
uses: foundry-rs/foundry-toolchain@v1
with:
version: nightly
- name: Run tests
run: forge test -vvv
Travis CI
To test your project using Travis CI, here is a sample workflow:
language: rust
cache:
cargo: true
directories:
- $HOME/.foundry
install:
- curl -L https://foundry.paradigm.xyz | bash
- export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.foundry/bin
- foundryup -b master
script:
- forge test -vvv
GitLab CI
To test your project using GitLab CI, here is a sample workflow: Note: check out Policy to fetch the remote image
variables:
GIT_SUBMODULE_STRATEGY: recursive
jobs:
image: ghcr.io/foundry-rs/foundry
script:
- forge install
- forge test -vvv
Integrating with VSCode
You can get Solidity support for Visual Studio Code by installing the VSCode Solidity extension.
To make the extension play nicely with Foundry, you may have to tweak a couple of things.
1. Remappings
You may want to place your remappings in remappings.txt
.
If they are already in foundry.toml
, copy them over and use remappings.txt
instead. If you just use the autogenerated remappings that Foundry provides, run forge remappings > remappings.txt
.
2. Dependencies
You may have to add the following to your .vscode/settings.json
for the extension to find your dependencies:
{
"solidity.packageDefaultDependenciesContractsDirectory": "src",
"solidity.packageDefaultDependenciesDirectory": "lib"
}
Where src
is the source code directory and lib
is your dependency directory.
3. Formatter
To enable the built-in formatter that comes with Foundry to automatically format your code on save, you can add the following settings to your .vscode/settings.json
:
{
"editor.formatOnSave": true,
"[solidity]": {
"editor.defaultFormatter": "JuanBlanco.solidity"
},
"solidity.formatter": "forge",
}
To configure the formatter settings, refer to the Formatter reference.
4. Solc Version
Finally, it is recommended to specify a Solidity compiler version:
"solidity.compileUsingRemoteVersion": "v0.8.17"
To get Foundry in line with the chosen version, add the following to your default
profile in foundry.toml
.
solc = "0.8.17"
Example of using OpenZeppelin contracts and non-standard project layout.
.
└── project
└── contracts
├── lib
│ ├── forge-std
│ └── openzeppelin-contracts
├── script
├── src
└── test
Add line to remappings.txt
file (forge remapping
):
@openzeppelin/=lib/openzeppelin-contracts/
Add line to .vscode/settings.json
file (solidity extension settings):
{
"solidity.remappings": [
"@openzeppelin/=project/contracts/lib/openzeppelin-contracts/"
]
}
Now all contracts from the OpenZeppelin documentation can be used.
import {ERC20} from "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC20/ERC20.sol";
Shell Autocompletion
You can generate autocompletion shell scripts for bash
, elvish
, fish
, powershell
, and zsh
.
zsh
First, ensure that the following is present somewhere in your ~/.zshrc
file (if not, add it):
autoload -U compinit
compinit -i
Then run:
forge completions zsh | sudo tee /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/_forge
cast completions zsh | sudo tee /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/_cast
anvil completions zsh | sudo tee /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/_anvil
For macOS:
forge completions zsh > /opt/homebrew/completions/zsh/_forge
cast completions zsh > /opt/homebrew/completions/zsh/_cast
anvil completions zsh > /opt/homebrew/completions/zsh/_anvil
fish
mkdir -p $HOME/.config/fish/completions
forge completions fish > $HOME/.config/fish/completions/forge.fish
cast completions fish > $HOME/.config/fish/completions/cast.fish
anvil completions fish > $HOME/.config/fish/completions/anvil.fish
source $HOME/.config/fish/config.fish
bash
mkdir -p $HOME/.local/share/bash-completion/completions
forge completions bash > $HOME/.local/share/bash-completion/completions/forge
cast completions bash > $HOME/.local/share/bash-completion/completions/cast
anvil completions bash > $HOME/.local/share/bash-completion/completions/anvil
exec bash
Static Analyzers
Slither
To test your project using slither, here is a sample slither.config.json
:
{
"filter_paths": "lib"
}
To run Slither on the entire project, use this command in the root of the project:
slither .
By default (as of version 0.10.0), this will skip tests and scripts. To force inclusion of the tests and scripts, add the --foundry-compile-all
flag.
To run Slither on a single file, use this command:
slither src/Contract.sol
Note, this requires configuring the solc version in the foundry config file.
You do not need to provide remappings via the solc_remaps
option as Slither will automatically detect remappings in a Foundry project. Slither will invoke forge
to perform the build.
See the Slither wiki for more information.
In order to use a custom configuration, such as the sample slither.config.json
mentioned above, the following command is used as mentioned in the slither-wiki. By default slither looks for the slither.config.json
but you can define the path and any other json
file of your choice:
slither --config-file <path>/file.config.json .
Example output (Raw):
Pragma version^0.8.13 (Counter.sol#2) necessitates a version too recent to be trusted. Consider deploying with 0.6.12/0.7.6/0.8.7
solc-0.8.13 is not recommended for deployment
Reference: https://github.com/crytic/slither/wiki/Detector-Documentation#incorrect-versions-of-solidity
setNumber(uint256) should be declared external:
- Counter.setNumber(uint256) (Counter.sol#7-9)
increment() should be declared external:
- Counter.increment() (Counter.sol#11-13)
Reference: https://github.com/crytic/slither/wiki/Detector-Documentation#public-function-that-could-be-declared-external
Counter.sol analyzed (1 contracts with 78 detectors), 4 result(s) found
Slither also has a GitHub Action for CI/CD.
Mythril
To test your project using mythril, here is a sample mythril.config.json
:
{
"remappings": [
"ds-test/=lib/ds-test/src/",
"forge-std/=lib/forge-std/src/"
],
"optimizer": {
"enabled": true,
"runs": 200
}
}
Note, you need switch rustc
to nightly to install mythril
:
rustup default nightly
pip3 install mythril
myth analyze src/Contract.sol --solc-json mythril.config.json
See the mythril docs for more information.
You can pass custom Solc compiler output to Mythril using the --solc-json
flag. For example:
$ myth analyze src/Counter.sol --solc-json mythril.config.json

Integrating with Hardhat
It’s possible to have your Foundry project work alongside Hardhat. This article assumes that you have Foundry and node installed in your system. This article also assumes familiarity with both Foundry and Hardhat.
Why does this not work out of the box?
Hardhat by default expects libraries to be installed in node_modules
, the default folder for all NodeJS dependencies. Foundry expects them to be in lib
. Of course we can configure Foundry but not easily to the directory structure of node_modules
.
For this reason, the recommended setup is to use hardhat-foundry. When hardhat-foundry is installed and used correctly, Hardhat will use the same contracts directory that is used by Foundry, and it will be able to use dependencies installed with forge install.
In this article we will cover both scenarios:
- Adding Hardhat to a Foundry project, and,
- Adding Foundry to a Hardhat project.
Just show me the example repo!
If you want to adapt this to a Foundry project you already have or learn how it works, read below:
Adding Hardhat to a Foundry project
Inside your Foundry project working directory:
npm init -y
- This will set up apackage.json
file.npm i --save-dev hardhat
- Install Hardhat as a dev dependency into your project.npx hardhat init
- Initialize your Hardhat project inside the same directory and choose the “Create an empty hardhat.config.js” option. This will create a basichardhat.config.js
file.npm i --save-dev @nomicfoundation/hardhat-foundry @nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox
- This will install the hardhat-foundry plugin and the Hardhat toolbox plugin which is a combination of all the basic dependencies you need to run Hardhat tests.
Your hardhat.config.js file should look like this to make the plugins work:
require("@nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox");
require("@nomicfoundation/hardhat-foundry");
/** @type import('hardhat/config').HardhatUserConfig */
module.exports = {
solidity: "0.8.19",
};
- By default, a Foundry project ships with a simple
Counter.sol
contract and a couple of tests. Create a file namedCounter.t.js
inside thetest
directory parallel to the defaultCounter.t.sol
file. - Add the following code to the
Counter.t.js
file:
const { expect } = require("chai");
const hre = require("hardhat");
const { loadFixture } = require("@nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox/network-helpers");
describe("Counter contract", function () {
async function CounterLockFixture() {
const counter = await ethers.deployContract("Counter");
await counter.setNumber(0);
return { counter };
}
it("Should increment the number correctly", async function () {
const { counter } = await loadFixture(CounterLockFixture);
await counter.increment();
expect(await counter.number()).to.equal(1);
});
// This is not a fuzz test because Hardhat does not support fuzzing yet.
it("Should set the number correctly", async function () {
const { counter } = await loadFixture(CounterLockFixture);
await counter.setNumber(100);
expect(await counter.number()).to.equal(100);
});
});
This piece of code will execute the same tests as the default Counter.t.sol
file.
And this is it!
You can create Hardhat and Foundry tests in the same test
directory and run them with npx hardhat test
and forge test
respectively.
Check out Hardhat’s documentation to learn more.
Adding Foundry to a Hardhat project
Inside your Hardhat project working directory:
npm i --save-dev @nomicfoundation/hardhat-foundry
- Install the hardhat-foundry plugin.- Add
require("@nomicfoundation/hardhat-foundry");
to the top of yourhardhat.config.js
file.
ℹ️ Note Step number 3 will only work if your directory is an initialized git repository. Run
git init
if you haven’t already.
- Run
npx hardhat init-foundry
in your terminal. This will generate afoundry.toml
file based on your Hardhat project’s existing configuration, and will install theforge-std
library.
Hardhat will now set up a basic Foundry project inside the same directory with a few configurations inside the foundry.toml
file to make sure that Foundry knows where to look for your contracts, tests and dependencies. You can always change these configurations later by editing the foundry.toml
file.
Vyper support
Foundry supports compiling and testing Vyper contracts.
1. Compilation
You can install Vyper by following the instructions here. If you have vyper
available in your PATH, foundry will automatically use it.
Otherwise, you can set the path to vyper
in your foundry.toml
by adding the following:
[vyper]
path = "/path/to/vyper"
Vyper libraries via forge install
If you want an import like the following to work in your Vyper contract:
from snekmate.utils import eip712_domain_separator
You can install Vyper the desired library via forge install
e.g. forge install pcaversaccio/snekmate
.
You then need to adjust your foundry.toml
as follows (replacing “snekmate” with the name of your
desired package):
skip = ["**/lib/snekmate/**"]
libs = ["lib", "lib/snekmate/src"]
Vyper libraries via pip
Alternatively if you want to install the package via pip
into your system’s python configuration
or a virtual environment you can point foundry to it by modifying your foundry.toml
as follows:
# Assuming you have a virtual environment in `.venv` and are using Python 3.12
libs = ["lib", ".venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/"]
Note that compatible alternative python package managers like uv
will work too.
2. Solidity tests
Let’s write a test for this simple Counter contract:
number: public(uint256)
@deploy
@payable
def __init__(initial_number: uint256):
self.number = initial_number
@external
def set_number(new_number: uint256):
self.number = new_number
@external
def increment():
self.number += 1
We can deploy it by using the deployCode
cheatcode from forge-std
and test it with the following Solidity test:
import {Test} from "forge-std/Test.sol";
interface ICounter {
function increment() external;
function number() external view returns (uint256);
function set_number(uint256 newNumber) external;
}
contract CounterTest is Test {
ICounter public counter;
uint256 initialNumber = 5;
function setUp() public {
counter = ICounter(deployCode("Counter", abi.encode(initialNumber)));
assertEq(counter.number(), initialNumber);
}
function test_Increment() public {
counter.increment();
assertEq(counter.number(), initialNumber + 1);
}
function testFuzz_SetNumber(uint256 x) public {
counter.set_number(x);
assertEq(counter.number(), x);
}
}
3. Deploying
You can deploy Vyper contracts via forge create
command:
forge create Counter --constructor-args '1' --rpc-url $RPC_URL --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY
And with deployCode
you can deploy Vyper contracts in your scripts as well:
import {Script} from "forge-std/Script.sol";
contract CounterScript is Script {
function run() public {
vm.broadcast();
deployCode("src/Counter.vy", abi.encode(1));
}
}
4. Vyper scripts
You can write Vyper scripts in the same way as Solidity scripts:
interface Vm:
def startBroadcast(): nonpayable
interface ICounter:
def increment(): nonpayable
def number() -> uint256: view
vm: constant(Vm) = Vm(0x7109709ECfa91a80626fF3989D68f67F5b1DD12D)
@external
def run(counter: address):
number_before: uint256 = staticcall ICounter(counter).number()
extcall vm.startBroadcast()
extcall ICounter(counter).increment()
number_after: uint256 = staticcall ICounter(counter).number()
assert number_after == number_before + 1
Such script can be run with the following command:
forge script script/Increment.s.vy --sig 'run' '<counter address>' --rpc-url $RPC_URL --broadcast --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY
5. Limitations
- While you can write and run tests and scripts in Vyper, there is no
new
keyword in Vyper allowing you to deploy contracts. This will be addressed in the future with new cheatcodes. - Vyper does not allow overloads with the same names but different parameter types. Thus some cheatcode combinations might require workarounds to be used. (e.g.
startBroadcast(address sender))
andstartBroadcast(uint256 pk)
) forge coverage
currently does not support Vyper contracts.
Best Practices
This guide documents the suggested best practices when developing with Foundry.
In general, it’s recommended to handle as much as possible with forge fmt
, and anything this doesn’t handle is below.
General Contract Guidance
-
Always use named import syntax, don’t import full files. This restricts what is being imported to just the named items, not everything in the file. Importing full files can result in solc complaining about duplicate definitions and slither erroring, especially as repos grow and have more dependencies with overlapping names.
- Good:
import {MyContract} from "src/MyContract.sol"
to only importMyContract
. - Bad:
import "src/MyContract.sol"
imports everything inMyContract.sol
. (Importingforge-std/Test
orScript
can be an exception here, so you get the console library, etc).
- Good:
-
Note the tradeoffs between absolute and relative paths for imports (where absolute paths are relative to the repo root, e.g.
"src/interfaces/IERC20.sol"
), and choose the best approach for your project:- Absolute paths make it easier to see where files are from and reduce churn when moving files around.
- Relative paths make it more likely your editor can provide features like linting and autocomplete, since editors/extensions may not understand your remappings.
-
If copying a library from a dependency (instead of importing it), use the
ignore = []
option in the config file to avoid formatting that file. This makes diffing it against the original simpler for reviewers and auditors. -
Similarly, feel free to use the
// forgefmt: disable-*
comment directives to ignore lines/sections of code that look better with manual formatting. Supported values for*
are:disable-line
disable-next-line
disable-next-item
disable-start
disable-end
Additional best practices from samsczun’s How Do You Even Write Secure Code Anyways talk:
- Use descriptive variable names.
- Limit the number of active variables.
- No redundant logic.
- Early exit as much as possible to reduce mental load when seeing the code.
- Related code should be placed near each other.
- Delete unused code.
Tests
General Test Guidance
-
For testing
MyContract.sol
, the test file should beMyContract.t.sol
. For testingMyScript.s.sol
, the test file should beMyScript.t.sol
.- If the contract is big and you want to split it over multiple files, group them logically like
MyContract.owner.t.sol
,MyContract.deposits.t.sol
, etc.
- If the contract is big and you want to split it over multiple files, group them logically like
-
Never make assertions in the
setUp
function, instead use a dedicated test liketest_SetUpState()
if you need to ensure yoursetUp
function does what you expected. More info on why in foundry-rs/foundry#1291 -
For unit tests, there are two major ways to organize the tests:
-
Treat contracts as describe blocks:
contract Add
holds all unit tests for theadd
method ofMyContract
.contract Supply
holds all tests for thesupply
method.contract Constructor
hold all tests for the constructor.- A benefit of this approach is that smaller contracts should compile faster than large ones, so this approach of many small contracts should save time as test suites get large.
-
Have a Test contract per contract-under-test, with as many utilities and fixtures as you want:
contract MyContractTest
holds all unit tests forMyContract
.function test_add_AddsTwoNumbers()
lives withinMyContractTest
to test theadd
method.function test_supply_UsersCanSupplyTokens()
also lives withinMyContractTest
to test thesupply
method.- A benefit of this approach is that test output is grouped by contract-under-test, which makes it easier to quickly see where failures are.
-
-
Some general guidance for all tests:
- Test contracts/functions should be written in the same order as the original functions in the contract-under-test.
- All unit tests that test the same function should live serially in the test file.
- Test contracts can inherit from any helper contracts you want. For example
contract MyContractTest
testsMyContract
, but may inherit from forge-std’sTest
, as well as e.g. your ownTestUtilities
helper contract.
-
Integration tests should live in the same
test
directory, with a clear naming convention. These may be in dedicated files, or they may live next to related unit tests in existing test files. -
Be consistent with test naming, as it’s helpful for filtering tests (e.g. for gas reports you might want to filter out revert tests). When combining naming conventions, keep them alphabetical. Below is a sample of valid names. A comprehensive list of valid and invalid examples can be found here.
test_Description
for standard tests.testFuzz_Description
for fuzz tests.test_Revert[If|When]_Condition
for tests expecting a revert.testFork_Description
for tests that fork from a network.testForkFuzz_Revert[If|When]_Condition
for a fuzz test that forks and expects a revert.
-
Name your constants and immutables using
ALL_CAPS_WITH_UNDERSCORES
, to make it easier to distinguish them from variables and functions. -
When using assertions like
assertEq
, consider leveraging the last string param to make it easier to identify failures. These can be kept brief, or even just be numbers—they basically serve as a replacement for showing line numbers of the revert, e.g.assertEq(x, y, "1")
orassertEq(x, y, "sum1")
. (Note: foundry-rs/foundry#2328 tracks integrating this natively). -
When testing events, prefer setting all
expectEmit
arguments totrue
, i.e.vm.expectEmit(true, true, true, true)
orvm.expectEmit()
. Benefits:- This ensures you test everything in your event.
- If you add a topic (i.e. a new indexed parameter), it’s now tested by default.
- Even if you only have 1 topic, the extra
true
arguments don’t hurt.
-
Remember to write invariant tests! For the assertion string, use a verbose english description of the invariant:
assertEq(x + y, z, "Invariant violated: the sum of x and y must always equal z")
. For more info on this, check out the Invariant Testing tutorial.
Fork Tests
-
Don’t feel like you need to give forks tests special treatment, and use them liberally:
- Mocks are required in closed-source web2 development—you have to mock API responses because the code for that API isn’t open source so you cannot just run it locally. But for blockchains that’s not true: any code you’re interacting with that’s already deployed can be locally executed and even modified for free. So why introduce the risk of a wrong mock if you don’t need to?
- A common reason to avoid fork tests and prefer mocks is that fork tests are slow. But this is not always true. By pinning to a block number, forge caches RPC responses so only the first run is slower, and subsequent runs are significantly faster. See this benchmark, where it took forge 7 minutes for the first run with a remote RPC, but only half a second once data was cached. Alchemy, Infura and Tenderly offer free archive data, so pinning to a block shouldn’t be problematic.
- Note that the foundry-toolchain GitHub Action will cache RPC responses in CI by default, and it will also update the cache when you update your fork tests.
-
Be careful with fuzz tests on a fork to avoid burning through RPC requests with non-deterministic fuzzing. If the input to your fork fuzz test is some parameter which is used in an RPC call to fetch data (e.g. querying the token balance of an address), each run of a fuzz test uses at least 1 RPC request, so you’ll quickly hit rate limits or usage limits. Solutions to consider:
- Replace multiple RPC calls with a single multicall.
- Specify a fuzz/invariant seed: this makes sure each
forge test
invocation uses the same fuzz inputs. RPC results are cached locally, so you’ll only query the node the first time. - In CI, consider setting the fuzz seed using a computed environment variable so it changes every day or every week. This gives flexibility on the tradeoff between increasing randomness to find more bugs vs. using a seed to reduce RPC requests.
- Structure your tests so the data you are fuzzing over is computed locally by your contract, and not data that is used in an RPC call (may or may not be feasible based on what you’re doing).
- Lastly, you can of course always run a local node or bump your RPC plan.
-
When writing fork tests, do not use the
--fork-url
flag. Instead, prefer the following approach for its improved flexibility:- Define
[rpc_endpoints]
in thefoundry.toml
config file and use the forking cheatcodes. - Access the RPC URL endpoint in your test with forge-std’s
stdChains.ChainName.rpcUrl
. See the list of supported chains and expected config file aliases here. - Always pin to a block so tests are deterministic and RPC responses are cached.
- More info on this fork test approach can be found here (this predates
StdChains
so that aspect is a bit out of date).
- Define
Test Harnesses
Internal Functions
To test internal
functions, write a harness contract that inherits from the contract under test (CuT). Harness contracts that inherit from the CuT expose the internal
functions as external
ones.
Each internal
function that is tested should be exposed via an external one with a name that follows the pattern exposed_<function_name>
. For example:
// file: src/MyContract.sol
contract MyContract {
function myInternalMethod() internal returns (uint) {
return 42;
}
}
// file: test/MyContract.t.sol
import {MyContract} from "src/MyContract.sol";
contract MyContractHarness is MyContract {
// Deploy this contract then call this method to test `myInternalMethod`.
function exposed_myInternalMethod() external returns (uint) {
return myInternalMethod();
}
}
Private Functions
Unfortunately there is currently no good way to unit test private
methods since they cannot be accessed by any other contracts. Options include:
- Converting
private
functions tointernal
. - Copy/pasting the logic into your test contract and writing a script that runs in CI check to ensure both functions are identical.
Workaround Functions
Harnesses can also be used to expose functionality or information otherwise unavailable in the original smart contract. The most straightforward example is when we want to test the length of a public array. The functions should follow the pattern: workaround_<function_name>
, such as workaround_queueLength()
.
Another use case for this is tracking data that you would not track in production to help test invariants. For example, you might store a list of all token holders to simplify validation of the invariant “sum of all balances must equal total supply”. These are often known as “ghost variables”. You can learn more about this in Rikard Hjort’s Formal Methods for the Working DeFi Dev talk.
Best practices
Thanks to @samsczun’s How Do You Even Write Secure Code Anyways talk for the tips in this section and the following section.
- Don’t optimize for coverage, optimize for well thought-out tests.
- Write positive and negative unit tests.
- Write positive unit tests for things that the code should handle. Validate all state that changes from these tests.
- Write negative unit tests for things that the code should not handle. It’s helpful to follow up (as an adjacent test) with the positive test and make the change that it needs to pass.
- Each code path should have its own unit test.
- Write integration tests to test entire features.
- Write fork tests to verify the correct behavior with existing deployed contract.
Taint Analysis
When testing, you should prioritize functions that an attacker can affect, that means functions that accept some kind of user input. These are called sources.
Consider that input data as tainted until it has been checked by the code, at which point it’s considered clean.
A sink is a part of the code where some important operation is happening. For example, in MakerDAO that would be vat.sol
.
You should ensure that no tainted data ever reaches a sink. That means that all data that find themselves in the sink, should, at some point, have been checked by you. So, you need to define what the data should be and then make sure your checks ensure that the data will be how you expect it to be.
Scripts
-
Stick with
run
as the default function name for clarity. -
Any methods that are not intended to be called directly in the script should be
internal
orprivate
. Generally the only public method should berun
, as it’s easier to read/understand when each script file just does one thing. -
Consider prefixing scripts with a number based on the order they’re intended to be run over the protocol’s lifecycle. For example,
01_Deploy.s.sol
,02_TransferOwnership.s.sol
. This makes things more self-documenting. This may not always apply depending on your project. -
Test your scripts.
- Unit test them like you would test normal contracts, by writing tests that assert on the state changes made from running the script.
- Write your deploy script and scaffold tests by running that script. Then, run all tests against the state resulting from your production deployment script. This is a great way to gain confidence in a deploy script.
- Within your script itself, use
require
statements (or theif (condition) revert()
pattern if you prefer) to stop execution of your script if something is wrong. For example,require(computedAddress == deployedAddress, "address mismatch")
. Using theassertEq
helpers instead will not stop execution.
-
Carefully audit which transactions are broadcast. Transactions not broadcast are still executed in the context of a test, so missing broadcasts or extra broadcasts are easy sources of error in the previous step.
-
Watch out for frontrunning. Forge simulates your script, generates transaction data from the simulation results, then broadcasts the transactions. Make sure your script is robust against chain-state changing between the simulation and broadcast. A sample script vulnerable to this is below:
// Pseudo-code, may not compile. contract VulnerableScript is Script { function run() public { vm.startBroadcast(); // Transaction 1: Deploy a new Gnosis Safe with CREATE. // Because we're using CREATE instead of CREATE2, the address of the new // Safe is a function of the nonce of the gnosisSafeProxyFactory. address mySafe = gnosisSafeProxyFactory.createProxy(singleton, data); // Transaction 2: Send tokens to the new Safe. // We know the address of mySafe is a function of the nonce of the // gnosisSafeProxyFactory. If someone else deploys a Gnosis Safe between // the simulation and broadcast, the address of mySafe will be different, // and this script will send 1000 DAI to the other person's Safe. In this // case, we can protect ourselves from this by using CREATE2 instead of // CREATE, but every situation may have different solutions. dai.transfer(mySafe, 1000e18); vm.stopBroadcast(); } }
-
For scripts that read from JSON input files, put the input files in
script/input/<chainID>/<description>.json
. Then haverun(string memory input)
(or take multiple string inputs if you need to read from multiple files) as the script’s signature, and use the below method to read the JSON file.function readInput(string memory input) internal returns (string memory) { string memory inputDir = string.concat(vm.projectRoot(), "/script/input/"); string memory chainDir = string.concat(vm.toString(block.chainid), "/"); string memory file = string.concat(input, ".json"); return vm.readFile(string.concat(inputDir, chainDir, file)); }
Private Key Management
Script execution requires a private key to send transactions. This key controls all funds in the account, so it must be protected carefully. There are a few options for securely broadcasting transactions through a script:
-
Use a hardware wallet. Hardware wallets such as Ledger and Trezor store seed phrases in a secure enclave. Forge can send a raw transaction to the wallet, and the wallet will sign the transaction. The signed transaction is returned to forge and broadcaster. This way, private keys never leave the hardware wallet, making this a very secure approach. To use a hardware wallet with scripts, see the
--ledger
and--trezor
flags. -
Use a private key directly. With this approach you expose a private key on your machine, making it riskier than the above option. Therefore the suggested way to directly use a private key is to generate a new wallet for executing the script, and only send that wallet enough funds to run the script. Then, stop using the key after the script is complete. This way, if the key is compromised, only the funds on this throwaway key are lost, as opposed to losing everything in your wallet.
- With this approach, it’s very important that your scripts or contracts don’t rely on
msg.sender
since the sender will not be an account that’s meant to be used again. For example, if a deploy script configures a contract owner, ensure the owner a constructor argument and not set tomsg.sender
. - To use this approach, you can either store the private key in an environment variable and use cheat codes to read it in, or use the
--private-key
flag to directly provide the key.
- With this approach, it’s very important that your scripts or contracts don’t rely on
-
Use a keystore. This can be thought of as a middle ground between the above two approaches. With
cast wallet import
you import a private key and encrypt it with a password. This still temporarily exposes your private key on your machine, but it becomes encrypted and you’ll provide the password to decrypt it to run a script.
Additional security precautions when using scripts:
- Use a separate wallet for testing and development, instead of using your main wallet with real funds. Diversifying minimizes the risk of losing funds if your development wallet is compromised.
- If you accidentally push a private key or seed phrase to GitHub, or expose it online via other means—even momentarily—treat it as compromised. Act immediately to transfer your funds to a safer destination.
- When in doubt about whether a wallet contains real funds or not, assume it does. Always be certain about a wallet’s balances and status when using it for development purposes. Use blockscan to easily check many chains to see where the address has been used.
- Remember that adding an account in wallets like Metamask generates a new private key. However, that private key is derived from the same mnemonic as the other accounts generated in that wallet. Therefore, never expose the mnemonic as it may compromise all of your accounts.
This was section was inspired by The Pledge from Patrick Collins.
Comments
-
For public or external methods and variables, use NatSpec comments.
forge doc
will parse these to autogenerate documentation.- Etherscan will display them in the contract UI.
-
For simple NatSpec comments, consider just documenting params in the docstring, such as
/// @notice Returns the sum of `x` and `y`.
, instead of using@param
tags. -
For complex NatSpec comments, consider using a tool like PlantUML to generate ASCII art diagrams to help explain complex aspects of the codebase.
-
Any markdown in your comments will carry over properly when generating docs with
forge doc
, so structure comments with markdown when useful.- Good:
/// @notice Returns the sum of `x` and `y`.
- Bad:
/// @notice Returns the sum of x and y.
- Good:

Creating an NFT with Solmate
This tutorial will walk you through creating an OpenSea compatible NFT with Foundry and Solmate. A full implementation of this tutorial can be found here.
This tutorial is for illustrative purposes only and provided on an as-is basis. The tutorial is not audited nor fully tested. No code in this tutorial should be used in a production environment.
Create project and install dependencies
Start by setting up a Foundry project following the steps outlined in the Getting started section. We will also install Solmate for their ERC721 implementation, as well as some OpenZeppelin utility libraries. Install the dependencies by running the following commands from the root of your project:
forge install transmissions11/solmate Openzeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts
These dependencies will be added as git submodules to your project.
If you have followed the instructions correctly your project should be structured like this:
Implement a basic NFT
We are then going to rename the boilerplate contract in src/Contract.sol
to src/NFT.sol
and replace the code:
// SPDX-License-Identifier: UNLICENSED
pragma solidity 0.8.10;
import {ERC721} from "solmate/tokens/ERC721.sol";
import {Strings} from "openzeppelin-contracts/contracts/utils/Strings.sol";
contract NFT is ERC721 {
uint256 public currentTokenId;
constructor(
string memory _name,
string memory _symbol
) ERC721(_name, _symbol) {}
function mintTo(address recipient) public payable returns (uint256) {
uint256 newItemId = ++currentTokenId;
_safeMint(recipient, newItemId);
return newItemId;
}
function tokenURI(uint256 id) public view virtual override returns (string memory) {
return Strings.toString(id);
}
}
Let’s take a look at this very basic implementation of an NFT. We start by importing two contracts from our git submodules. We import solmate’s gas optimized implementation of the ERC721 standard which our NFT contract will inherit from. Our constructor takes the _name
and _symbol
arguments for our NFT and passes them on to the constructor of the parent ERC721 implementation. Lastly we implement the mintTo
function which allows anyone to mint an NFT. This function increments the currentTokenId
and makes use of the _safeMint
function of our parent contract.
Compile & deploy with forge
To compile the NFT contract run forge build
. You might experience a build failure due to wrong mapping:
Error:
Compiler run failed
error[6275]: ParserError: Source "lib/openzeppelin-contracts/contracts/contracts/utils/Strings.sol" not found: File not found. Searched the following locations: "/PATH/TO/REPO".
--> src/NFT.sol:5:1:
|
5 | import {Strings} from "openzeppelin-contracts/contracts/utils/Strings.sol";
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
this can be fixed by setting up the correct remapping. Create a file remappings.txt
in your project and add the line
openzeppelin-contracts/=lib/openzeppelin-contracts/
(You can find out more on remappings in the dependencies documentation.
By default the compiler output will be in the out
directory. To deploy our compiled contract with Forge we have to set environment variables for the RPC endpoint and the private key we want to use to deploy.
Set your environment variables by running:
export RPC_URL=<Your RPC endpoint>
export PRIVATE_KEY=<Your wallets private key>
Once set, you can deploy your NFT with Forge by running the below command while adding the relevant constructor arguments to the NFT contract:
forge create NFT --rpc-url=$RPC_URL --private-key=$PRIVATE_KEY --constructor-args <name> <symbol>
If successfully deployed, you will see the deploying wallet’s address, the contract’s address as well as the transaction hash printed to your terminal.
Minting NFTs from your contract
Calling functions on your NFT contract is made simple with Cast, Foundry’s command-line tool for interacting with smart contracts, sending transactions, and getting chain data. Let’s have a look at how we can use it to mint NFTs from our NFT contract.
Given that you already set your RPC and private key env variables during deployment, mint an NFT from your contract by running:
cast send --rpc-url=$RPC_URL <contractAddress> "mintTo(address)" <arg> --private-key=$PRIVATE_KEY
Well done! You just minted your first NFT from your contract. You can sanity check the owner of the NFT with currentTokenId
equal to 1 by running the below cast call
command. The address you provided above should be returned as the owner.
cast call --rpc-url=$RPC_URL --private-key=$PRIVATE_KEY <contractAddress> "ownerOf(uint256)" 1
Extending our NFT contract functionality and testing
Let’s extend our NFT by adding metadata to represent the content of our NFTs, as well as set a minting price, a maximum supply and the possibility to withdraw the collected proceeds from minting. To follow along you can replace your current NFT contract with the code snippet below:
// SPDX-License-Identifier: UNLICENSED
pragma solidity >=0.8.10;

Among other things, we have added metadata that can be queried from any front-end application like OpenSea, by calling the tokenURI
method on our NFT contract.
Note: If you want to provide a real URL to the constructor at deployment, and host the metadata of this NFT contract please follow the steps outlined here.
Let’s test some of this added functionality to make sure it works as intended. Foundry offers an extremely fast EVM native testing framework through Forge.

The test suite is set up as a contract with a setUp
method which runs before every individual test.
As you can see, Forge offers a number of cheatcodes to manipulate state to accommodate your testing scenario.
For example, our testFailMaxSupplyReached
test checks that an attempt to mint fails when the max supply of NFT is reached. Thus, the currentTokenId
of the NFT contract needs to be set to the max supply by using the store cheatcode which allows you to write data to your contracts storage slots. The storage slots you wish to write to can easily be found using the
forge-std
helper library. You can run the test with the following command:
forge test
If you want to put your Forge skills to practice, write tests for the remaining methods of our NFT contract. Feel free to PR them to nft-tutorial, where you will find the full implementation of this tutorial.
Gas reports for your function calls
Foundry provides comprehensive gas reports about your contracts. For every function called within your tests, it returns the minimum, average, median and max gas cost. To print the gas report simply run:
forge test --gas-report
This comes in handy when looking at various gas optimizations within your contracts.
Let’s have a look at the gas savings we made by substituting OpenZeppelin with Solmate for our ERC721 implementation. You can find the NFT implementation using both libraries here. Below are the resulting gas reports when running forge test --gas-report
on that repository.
As you can see, our implementation using Solmate saves around 500 gas on a successful mint (the max gas cost of the mintTo
function calls).
That’s it, I hope this will give you a good practical basis of how to get started with foundry. We think there is no better way to deeply understand solidity than writing your tests in solidity. You will also experience less context switching between javascript and solidity. Happy coding!
Note: Follow this tutorial to learn how to deploy the NFT contract used here with solidity scripting.
Dockerizing a Foundry project
This tutorial shows you how to build, test, and deploy a smart contract using Foundry’s Docker image. It adapts code from the solmate nft tutorial. If you haven’t completed that tutorial yet, and are new to solidity, you may want to start with it first. Alternatively, if you have some familiarity with Docker and Solidity, you can use your own existing project and adjust accordingly. The full source code for both the NFT and the Docker stuff is available here.
This tutorial is for illustrative purposes only and provided on an as-is basis. The tutorial is not audited nor fully tested. No code in this tutorial should be used in a production environment.
Installation and Setup
The only installation required to run this tutorial is Docker, and optionally, an IDE of your choice. Follow the Docker installation instructions.
To keep future commands succinct, let’s re-tag the image:
docker tag ghcr.io/foundry-rs/foundry:latest foundry:latest
Having Foundry installed locally is not strictly required, but it may be helpful for debugging. You can install it using foundryup.
Finally, to use any of the cast
or forge create
portions of this tutorial, you will need access to an Ethereum node. If you don’t have your own node running (likely), you can use a 3rd party node service. We won’t recommend a specific provider in this tutorial. A good place to start learning about Nodes-as-a-Service is Ethereum’s article on the subject.
For the rest of this tutorial, it is assumed that the RPC endpoint of your ethereum node is set like this: export RPC_URL=<YOUR_RPC_URL>
A tour around the Foundry docker image
The docker image can be used in two primary ways:
- As an interface directly to forge and cast
- As a base image for building your own containerized test, build, and deployment tooling
We will cover both, but let’s start by taking a look at interfacing with foundry using docker. This is also a good test that your local installation worked!
We can run any of the cast
commands against our docker image. Let’s fetch the latest block information:

You can see our code was compiled and tested entirely within the container. Also, since we passed the --watch
option, the container will recompile the code whenever a change is detected.
Note: The Foundry docker image is built on alpine and designed to be as slim as possible. For this reason, it does not currently include development resources like
git
. If you are planning to manage your entire development lifecycle within the container, you should build a custom development image on top of Foundry’s image.
Creating a “build and test” image
Let’s use the Foundry docker image as a base for using our own Docker image. We’ll use the image to:
- Build our solidity code
- Run our solidity tests
A simple Dockerfile
can accomplish these two goals:
# Use the latest foundry image
FROM ghcr.io/foundry-rs/foundry
# Copy our source code into the container
WORKDIR /app
# Build and test the source code
COPY . .
RUN forge build
RUN forge test
You can build this docker image and watch forge build/run the tests within the container:
$ docker build --no-cache --progress=plain .
Now, what happens if one of our tests fails? Modify src/test/NFT.t.sol
as you please to make one of the tests fails. Try to build image again.
$ docker build --no-cache --progress=plain .
<...>

#9 0.522 Encountered a total of 1 failing tests, 9 tests succeeded
------
error: failed to solve: executor failed running [/bin/sh -c forge test]: exit code: 1
Our image failed to build because our tests failed! This is actually a nice property, because it means if we have a Docker image that successfully built (and therefore is available for use), we know the code inside the image passed the tests.*
*Of course, chain of custody of your docker images is very important. Docker layer hashes can be very useful for verification. In a production environment, consider signing your docker images.
Creating a deployer image
Now, we’ll move on to a bit more of an advanced Dockerfile. Let’s add an entrypoint that allows us to deploy our code by using the built (and tested!) image. We can target the Rinkeby testnet first.
# Use the latest foundry image
FROM ghcr.io/foundry-rs/foundry
# Copy our source code into the container
WORKDIR /app
# Build and test the source code
COPY . .
RUN forge build
RUN forge test
# Set the entrypoint to the forge deployment command
ENTRYPOINT ["forge", "create"]
Let’s build the image, this time giving it a name:
$ docker build --no-cache --progress=plain -t nft-deployer .
Here’s how we can use our docker image to deploy:
$ docker run nft-deployer --rpc-url $RPC_URL --constructor-args "ForgeNFT" "FNFT" "https://ethereum.org" --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY ./src/NFT.sol:NFT
No files changed, compilation skipped
Deployer: 0x496e09fcb240c33b8fda3b4b74d81697c03b6b3d

Transaction hash: 0xf88c68c4a03a86b0e7ecb05cae8dea36f2896cd342a6af978cab11101c6224a9
We’ve just built, tested, and deployed our contract entirely within a docker container! This tutorial was intended for testnet, but you can run the exact same Docker image targeting mainnet and be confident that the same code is being deployed by the same tooling.
Why is this useful?
Docker is about portability, reproducibility, and environment invariance. This means you can be less concerned about unexpected changes when you switch between environments, networks, developers, etc. Here are a few basic examples of why I like to use Docker images for smart contract deployment:
- Reduces overhead of ensuring system level dependencies match between deployment environments (e.g. does your production runner always have the same version of
forge
as your dev runner?) - Increases confidence that code has been tested prior to deployment and has not been altered (e.g. if, in the above image, your code re-compiles on deployment, that’s a major red flag).
- Eases pain points around segregation of duties: people with your mainnet credentials do not need to ensure they have the latest compiler, codebase, etc. It’s easy to ensure that the docker deploy image someone ran in testnet is identical to the one targeting mainnet.
- At the risk of sounding web2, Docker is an accepted standard on virtually all public cloud providers. It makes it easy to schedule jobs, tasks, etc that need to interact with the blockchain.
Troubleshooting
As noted above, the Foundry image does not include git
by default. This can cause certain commands to fail without a clear cause. For example:
$ docker run foundry "forge init --no-git /test"
Initializing /test...
Installing ds-test in "/test/lib/ds-test", (url: https://github.com/dapphub/ds-test, tag: None)
Error:
0: No such file or directory (os error 2)
Location:
cli/src/cmd/forge/install.rs:107
In this case, the failure is still caused by a missing git
installation. The recommended fix is to build off the existing Foundry image and install any additional development dependencies you need.
Testing EIP-712 Signatures
Intro
EIP-712 introduced the ability to sign transactions off-chain which other users can later execute on-chain. A common example is EIP-2612 gasless token approvals.
Traditionally, setting a user or contract allowance to transfer ERC-20 tokens from an owner’s balance required the owner to submit an approval on-chain. As this proved to be poor UX, DAI introduced ERC-20 permit
(later standardized as EIP-2612) allowing the owner to sign the approval off-chain which the spender (or anyone else!) can submit on-chain prior to the transferFrom
.
This guide will cover testing this pattern in Solidity using Foundry.
Diving In
First we’ll cover a basic token transfer:
- Owner signs approval off-chain
- Spender calls
permit
andtransferFrom
on-chain
We’ll use Solmate’s ERC-20, as EIP-712 and EIP-2612 batteries come included. Take a glance over the full contract if you haven’t already - here is permit
implemented:
/*//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
EIP-2612 LOGIC
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////*/
function permit(
address owner,
address spender,
uint256 value,
uint256 deadline,
uint8 v,
bytes32 r,
bytes32 s
) public virtual {
require(deadline >= block.timestamp, "PERMIT_DEADLINE_EXPIRED");
// Unchecked because the only math done is incrementing
// the owner's nonce which cannot realistically overflow.
unchecked {
address recoveredAddress = ecrecover(
keccak256(
abi.encodePacked(
"\x19\x01",
DOMAIN_SEPARATOR(),
keccak256(
abi.encode(
keccak256(
"Permit(address owner,address spender,uint256 value,uint256 nonce,uint256 deadline)"
),
owner,
spender,
value,
nonces[owner]++,
deadline
)
)
)
),
v,
r,
s
);
require(recoveredAddress != address(0) && recoveredAddress == owner, "INVALID_SIGNER");
allowance[recoveredAddress][spender] = value;
}
emit Approval(owner, spender, value);
}
We’ll also be using a custom SigUtils
contract to help create, hash, and sign the approvals off-chain.
// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity 0.8.20;
contract SigUtils {
bytes32 internal DOMAIN_SEPARATOR;
constructor(bytes32 _DOMAIN_SEPARATOR) {
DOMAIN_SEPARATOR = _DOMAIN_SEPARATOR;
}
// keccak256("Permit(address owner,address spender,uint256 value,uint256 nonce,uint256 deadline)");
bytes32 public constant PERMIT_TYPEHASH =
0x6e71edae12b1b97f4d1f60370fef10105fa2faae0126114a169c64845d6126c9;
struct Permit {
address owner;
address spender;
uint256 value;
uint256 nonce;
uint256 deadline;
}
// computes the hash of a permit
function getStructHash(Permit memory _permit)
internal
pure
returns (bytes32)
{
return
keccak256(
abi.encode(
PERMIT_TYPEHASH,
_permit.owner,
_permit.spender,
_permit.value,
_permit.nonce,
_permit.deadline
)
);
}
// computes the hash of the fully encoded EIP-712 message for the domain, which can be used to recover the signer
function getTypedDataHash(Permit memory _permit)
public
view
returns (bytes32)
{
return
keccak256(
abi.encodePacked(
"\x19\x01",
DOMAIN_SEPARATOR,
getStructHash(_permit)
)
);
}
}
Handling Dynamic Values
While the Permit struct passed in the getStructHash() function above doesn’t contain any dynamic value types, if you’re using them it’s important to remember that ‘bytes’ and ‘string’ types must be encoded as a ‘keccak256’ hash of their contents. More on this aspect of the EIP 712 Spec here.
Setup
- Deploy a mock ERC-20 token and
SigUtils
helper with the token’s EIP-712 domain separator - Create private keys to mock the owner and spender
- Derive their addresses using the
vm.addr
cheatcode - Mint the owner a test token
contract Token_ERC20 is MockERC20 {
constructor(string memory name, string memory symbol, uint8 decimals) {
initialize(name, symbol, decimals);
}
function mint(address to, uint256 value) public virtual {
_mint(to, value);
}
function burn(address from, uint256 value) public virtual {
_burn(from, value);
}
}
contract ERC20Test is Test {
Token_ERC20 internal token;
SigUtils internal sigUtils;
uint256 internal ownerPrivateKey;
uint256 internal spenderPrivateKey;
address internal owner;
address internal spender;
function setUp() public {
token = new Token_ERC20("Token", "TKN", 18);
sigUtils = new SigUtils(token.DOMAIN_SEPARATOR());
ownerPrivateKey = 0xA11CE;
spenderPrivateKey = 0xB0B;
owner = vm.addr(ownerPrivateKey);
spender = vm.addr(spenderPrivateKey);
token.mint(owner, 1e18);
}
Testing: permit
- Create an approval for the spender
- Compute its digest using
sigUtils.getTypedDataHash
- Sign the digest using the
vm.sign
cheatcode with the owner’s private key - Store the
uint8 v, bytes32 r, bytes32 s
of the signature - Call
permit
with the signed permit and signature to execute the approval on-chain
function test_Permit() public {
SigUtils.Permit memory permit = SigUtils.Permit({
owner: owner,
spender: spender,
value: 1e18,
nonce: 0,
deadline: 1 days
});
bytes32 digest = sigUtils.getTypedDataHash(permit);
(uint8 v, bytes32 r, bytes32 s) = vm.sign(ownerPrivateKey, digest);
token.permit(
permit.owner,
permit.spender,
permit.value,
permit.deadline,
v,
r,
s
);
assertEq(token.allowance(owner, spender), 1e18);
assertEq(token.nonces(owner), 1);
}
- Ensure failure for calls with an expired deadline, invalid signer, invalid nonce, and signature replay
function testRevert_ExpiredPermit() public {
SigUtils.Permit memory permit = SigUtils.Permit({
owner: owner,
spender: spender,
value: 1e18,
nonce: token.nonces(owner),
deadline: 1 days
});
bytes32 digest = sigUtils.getTypedDataHash(permit);
(uint8 v, bytes32 r, bytes32 s) = vm.sign(ownerPrivateKey, digest);
vm.warp(1 days + 1 seconds); // fast forward one second past the deadline
vm.expectRevert("PERMIT_DEADLINE_EXPIRED");
token.permit(
permit.owner,
permit.spender,
permit.value,
permit.deadline,
v,
r,
s
);
}
function testRevert_InvalidSigner() public {
SigUtils.Permit memory permit = SigUtils.Permit({
owner: owner,
spender: spender,
value: 1e18,
nonce: token.nonces(owner),
deadline: 1 days

Bundled Example
Here is a section of a mock contract that just deposits ERC-20 tokens. Note how deposit
requires a preliminary approve
or permit
tx in order to transfer tokens, while depositWithPermit
sets the allowance and transfers the tokens in a single tx.
/// ///
/// DEPOSIT ///
/// ///
/// @notice Deposits ERC-20 tokens (requires pre-approval)
/// @param _tokenContract The ERC-20 token address
/// @param _amount The number of tokens
function deposit(address _tokenContract, uint256 _amount) external {
ERC20(_tokenContract).transferFrom(msg.sender, address(this), _amount);
userDeposits[msg.sender][_tokenContract] += _amount;
emit TokenDeposit(msg.sender, _tokenContract, _amount);
}
/// ///
/// DEPOSIT w/ PERMIT ///
/// ///
/// @notice Deposits ERC-20 tokens with a signed approval
/// @param _tokenContract The ERC-20 token address
/// @param _amount The number of tokens to transfer
/// @param _owner The user signing the approval
/// @param _spender The user to transfer the tokens (ie this contract)
/// @param _value The number of tokens to approve the spender
/// @param _deadline The timestamp the permit expires
/// @param _v The 129th byte and chain id of the signature
/// @param _r The first 64 bytes of the signature
/// @param _s Bytes 64-128 of the signature
function depositWithPermit(
address _tokenContract,
uint256 _amount,
address _owner,
address _spender,
uint256 _value,
uint256 _deadline,
uint8 _v,
bytes32 _r,
bytes32 _s
) external {
ERC20(_tokenContract).permit(
_owner,
_spender,
_value,
_deadline,
_v,
_r,
_s
);
ERC20(_tokenContract).transferFrom(_owner, address(this), _amount);
userDeposits[_owner][_tokenContract] += _amount;
emit TokenDeposit(_owner, _tokenContract, _amount);
}
Setup
- Deploy the
Deposit
contract, a mock ERC-20 token, andSigUtils
helper with the token’s EIP-712 domain separator - Create a private key to mock the owner (the spender is now the
Deposit
address) - Derive the owner address using the
vm.addr
cheatcode - Mint the owner a test token
contract DepositTest is Test {
Deposit internal deposit;
MockERC20 internal token;
SigUtils internal sigUtils;
uint256 internal ownerPrivateKey;
address internal owner;
function setUp() public {
deposit = new Deposit();
token = new MockERC20();
sigUtils = new SigUtils(token.DOMAIN_SEPARATOR());
ownerPrivateKey = 0xA11CE;
owner = vm.addr(ownerPrivateKey);
token.mint(owner, 1e18);
}
Testing: depositWithPermit
- Create an approval for the
Deposit
contract - Compute its digest using
sigUtils.getTypedDataHash
- Sign the digest using the
vm.sign
cheatcode with the owner’s private key - Store the
uint8 v, bytes32 r, bytes32 s
of the signature- Note: can convert to bytes via
bytes signature = abi.encodePacked(r, s, v)
- Note: can convert to bytes via

Solidity Scripting
Introduction
Solidity scripting is a way to declaratively deploy contracts using Solidity, instead of using the more limiting and less user friendly forge create
.
Solidity scripts are like the scripts you write when working with tools like Hardhat; what makes Solidity scripting different is that they are written in Solidity instead of JavaScript, and they are run on the fast Foundry EVM backend, which provides dry-run capabilities.
High Level Overview
forge script
does not work in a sync manner. First, it collects all transactions from the script, and only then does it broadcast them all. It can essentially be split into 4 phases:
- Local Simulation - The contract script is run in a local evm. If a rpc/fork url has been provided, it will execute the script in that context. Any external call (not static, not internal) from a
vm.broadcast
and/orvm.startBroadcast
will be appended to a list. - Onchain Simulation - Optional. If a rpc/fork url has been provided, then it will sequentially execute all the collected transactions from the previous phase here.
- Broadcasting - Optional. If the
--broadcast
flag is provided and the previous phases have succeeded, it will broadcast the transactions collected at step1
. and simulated at step2
. - Verification - Optional. If the
--verify
flag is provided, there’s an API key, and the previous phases have succeeded it will attempt to verify the contract. (eg. etherscan).
Given this flow, it’s important to be aware that transactions whose behaviour can be influenced by external state/actors might have a different result than what was simulated on step 2
. Eg. frontrunning.
Set Up
Let’s try to deploy the NFT contract made in the solmate tutorial with solidity scripting. First of all, we would need to create a new Foundry project via:
forge init solidity-scripting
Since the NFT contract from the solmate tutorial inherits both solmate
and OpenZeppelin
contracts, we’ll have to install them as dependencies by running:
# Enter the project
cd solidity-scripting
# Install Solmate and OpenZeppelin contracts as dependencies
forge install transmissions11/solmate Openzeppelin/[email protected]
Next, we have to delete the Counter.sol
file in the src
folder and create another file called NFT.sol
. You can do this by running:
rm src/Counter.sol test/Counter.t.sol script/Counter.s.sol && touch src/NFT.sol && ls src
Once that’s done, you should open up your preferred code editor and copy the code below into the NFT.sol
file.
// SPDX-License-Identifier: UNLICENSED
pragma solidity >=0.8.10;
import {ERC721} from "solmate/tokens/ERC721.sol";
import {Ownable} from "openzeppelin-contracts/contracts/access/Ownable.sol";
import {Strings} from "openzeppelin-contracts/contracts/utils/Strings.sol";
error MintPriceNotPaid();
error MaxSupply();
error NonExistentTokenURI();
error WithdrawTransfer();
contract NFT is ERC721, Ownable {
using Strings for uint256;
string public baseURI;
uint256 public currentTokenId;
uint256 public constant TOTAL_SUPPLY = 10_000;
uint256 public constant MINT_PRICE = 0.08 ether;
constructor(
string memory _name,
string memory _symbol,
string memory _baseURI
) ERC721(_name, _symbol) Ownable(msg.sender) {
baseURI = _baseURI;
}
function mintTo(address recipient) public payable returns (uint256) {
if (msg.value != MINT_PRICE) {
revert MintPriceNotPaid();
}
uint256 newTokenId = ++currentTokenId;
if (newTokenId > TOTAL_SUPPLY) {
revert MaxSupply();
}
_safeMint(recipient, newTokenId);
return newTokenId;
}
function tokenURI(uint256 tokenId)
public
view
virtual
override
returns (string memory)
{
if (ownerOf(tokenId) == address(0)) {
revert NonExistentTokenURI();
}
return
bytes(baseURI).length > 0
? string(abi.encodePacked(baseURI, tokenId.toString()))
: "";
}
function withdrawPayments(address payable payee) external onlyOwner {
uint256 balance = address(this).balance;
(bool transferTx, ) = payee.call{value: balance}("");
if (!transferTx) {
revert WithdrawTransfer();
}
}
}
Now, let’s try compiling our contract to make sure everything is in order.
forge build
If your output looks like this, the contracts successfully compiled.
Deploying our contract
We’re going to deploy the NFT
contract to the Sepolia testnet, but to do this we’ll need to configure Foundry a bit, by setting things like a Sepolia RPC URL, the private key of an account that’s funded with Sepolia Eth, and an Etherscan key for the verification of the NFT contract.
💡 Note: You can get some Sepolia testnet ETH here .
Environment Configuration
Once you have all that create a .env
file and add the variables. Foundry automatically loads in a .env
file present in your project directory.
The .env file should follow this format:
SEPOLIA_RPC_URL=
PRIVATE_KEY=
ETHERSCAN_API_KEY=
We now need to edit the foundry.toml
file. There should already be one in the root of the project.
Add the following lines to the end of the file:
[rpc_endpoints]
sepolia = "${SEPOLIA_RPC_URL}"
[etherscan]
sepolia = { key = "${ETHERSCAN_API_KEY}" }
This creates a RPC alias for Sepolia and loads the Etherscan API key.
Writing the Script
Next, we have to create a folder and name it script
and create a file in it called NFT.s.sol
. This is where we will create the deployment script itself.
The contents of NFT.s.sol
should look like this:
// SPDX-License-Identifier: UNLICENSED
pragma solidity ^0.8.13;
import {Script} from "forge-std/Script.sol";
import {NFT} from "../src/NFT.sol";
contract MyScript is Script {
function run() external {
uint256 deployerPrivateKey = vm.envUint("PRIVATE_KEY");
vm.startBroadcast(deployerPrivateKey);
NFT nft = new NFT("NFT_tutorial", "TUT", "baseUri");
vm.stopBroadcast();
}
}
Now let’s read through the code and figure out what it actually means and does.
// SPDX-License-Identifier: UNLICENSED
pragma solidity ^0.8.13;
Remember even if it’s a script it still works like a smart contract, but is never deployed, so just like any other smart contract written in Solidity the pragma version
has to be specified.
import {Script} from "forge-std/Script.sol";
import {NFT} from "../src/NFT.sol";
Just like we may import Forge Std to get testing utilities when writing tests, Forge Std also provides some scripting utilities that we import here.
The next line just imports the NFT
contract.
contract MyScript is Script {
We have created a contract called MyScript
and it inherits Script
from Forge Std.
function run() external {
By default, scripts are executed by calling the function named run
, our entrypoint.
uint256 deployerPrivateKey = vm.envUint("PRIVATE_KEY");
This loads in the private key from our .env
file. Note: you must be careful when exposing private keys in a .env
file and loading them into programs. This is only recommended for use with non-privileged deployers or for local / test setups. For production setups please review the various wallet options that Foundry supports.
vm.startBroadcast(deployerPrivateKey);
This is a special cheatcode that records calls and contract creations made by our main script contract. We pass the deployerPrivateKey
in order to instruct it to use that key for signing the transactions. Later, we will broadcast these transactions to deploy our NFT contract.
NFT nft = new NFT("NFT_tutorial", "TUT", "baseUri");
Here we have just created our NFT contract. Because we called vm.startBroadcast()
before this line, the contract creation will be recorded by Forge, and as mentioned previously, we can broadcast the transaction to deploy the contract on-chain. The broadcast transaction logs will be stored in the broadcast
directory by default. You can change the logs location by setting broadcast
in your foundry.toml
file.
The broadcasting sender is determined by checking the following in order:
- If
--sender
argument was provided, that address is used. - If exactly one signer (e.g. private key, hardware wallet, keystore) is set, that signer is used.
- Otherwise, the default Foundry sender (
0x1804c8AB1F12E6bbf3894d4083f33e07309d1f38
) is attempted to be used.
Now that you’re up to speed about what the script smart contract does, let’s run it.
You should have added the variables we mentioned earlier to the .env
for this next part to work.
At the root of the project run:
# To load the variables in the .env file
source .env
# To deploy and verify our contract
forge script --chain sepolia script/NFT.s.sol:MyScript --rpc-url $SEPOLIA_RPC_URL --broadcast --verify -vvvv
Forge is going to run our script and broadcast the transactions for us - this can take a little while, since Forge will also wait for the transaction receipts. You should see something like this after a minute or so:
This confirms that you have successfully deployed the NFT
contract to the Sepolia testnet and have also verified it on Etherscan, all with one command.
Scripting with Arguments
Let’s enhance our script to accept arguments, making it more flexible and reusable. This approach allows us to deploy different NFT contracts with varying names, symbols, and base URIs without modifying the script each time. We’ll start by modifying the NFT.s.sol
script:
// SPDX-License-Identifier: UNLICENSED
pragma solidity ^0.8.13;
import {Script} from "forge-std/Script.sol";
import {NFT} from "../src/NFT.sol";
contract MyScript is Script {
function run(
string calldata _name,
string calldata _symbol,
string calldata _baseUri
) external {
uint256 deployerPrivateKey = vm.envUint("PRIVATE_KEY");
vm.startBroadcast(deployerPrivateKey);
NFT nft = new NFT(_name, _symbol, _baseUri);
vm.stopBroadcast();
}
}
At the root of the project run:
# To load the variables in the .env file
source .env
# To deploy and verify our contract
forge script --chain sepolia script/NFT.s.sol:MyScript "NFT tutorial" TUT baseUri --sig 'run(string,string,string)' --rpc-url $SEPOLIA_RPC_URL --broadcast --verify -vvvv
Let’s break down the additions to our command:
"NFT tutorial" TUT baseUri --sig 'run(string,string,string)'
"NFT tutorial"
- is the first argument of the new run command - the name of the collectionTUT
- is the second argument - the symbol of the collectionbaseUri
- is the third argument - the baseURI of the collection--sig 'run(string,string,string)'
- changes the signature of the function we want to call in the contract
Forge is going to run our script and broadcast the transactions using the parameters we specified on the command line. You should see an output similar to the previous section.
Deploying locally
You can deploy to Anvil, the local testnet, by configuring the port as the fork-url
.
Here, we have two options in terms of accounts. We can either start anvil without any flags and use one of the private keys provided. Or, we can pass a mnemonic to anvil to use.
Using Anvil’s Default Accounts
First, start Anvil:
anvil
Update your .env
file with a private key given to you by Anvil.
Then run the following script:
forge script script/NFT.s.sol:MyScript --fork-url http://localhost:8545 --broadcast
Using a Custom Mnemonic
Add the following line to your .env
file and complete it with your mnemonic:
MNEMONIC=
It is expected that the PRIVATE_KEY
environment variable we set earlier is one of the first 10 accounts in this mnemonic.
Start Anvil with the custom mnemonic:
source .env
anvil -m $MNEMONIC
Then run the following script:
forge script script/NFT.s.sol:MyScript --fork-url http://localhost:8545 --broadcast

Deterministic deployment using CREATE2
Introduction
Enshrined into the EVM as part of the Constantinople fork of 2019, CREATE2
is an opcode that started its journey as EIP-1014.
CREATE2
allows you to deploy smart contracts to deterministic addresses, based on parameters controlled by the deployer.
As a result, it’s often mentioned as enabling “counterfactual” deployments, where you can interact with an addresses that haven’t been created yet because CREATE2
guarantees known code can be placed at that address.
This is in contrast to the CREATE
opcode, where the address of the deployed contract is a function of the deployer’s nonce.
With CREATE2
, you can use the same deployer account to deploy contracts to the same address across multiple networks, even if the address has varying nonces.
ℹ️ Note This guide is intended to help understand
CREATE2
. In most use cases, you won’t need to write and use your own deployer, and can use an existing deterministic deployer. In forge scripts, usingnew MyContract{salt: salt}()
will use the deterministic deployer at 0x4e59b44847b379578588920ca78fbf26c0b4956c.
In this tutorial, we will:
- Look at a
CREATE2
factory implementation. - Deploy the factory using the traditional deployment methods.
- Use this deployed factory to in turn deploy a simple counter contract at a deterministic address.
- Simulate this set of events by writing a simple test in Foundry.
Prerequisites
- Some familiarity with Solidity and Foundry is required, and some familiarity with the inline assembly is recommended. Refer to the official Solidity docs for a primer on inline assembly.
- Make sure you have Foundry installed on your system.
- Initialize a new Foundry project.
CREATE2 Factory
Create a file named Create2.sol
Inside the src
directory.
Initialize a contract named Create2
like this:
// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.20;
contract Create2 {
error Create2EmptyBytecode();
error Create2FailedDeployment();
}
These errors are meant to enforce some sanity checks on the factory deployment, and revert the whole transaction when triggered.
The Create2EmptyBytecode()
error triggers if the bytecode passed to the deploy
function is empty, and the Create2FailedDeployment()
error triggers if the deployment fails for any reason.
ℹ️ Note
Please note that a
CREATE2
deployment may fail due to a number of reasons. For example, if the bytecode is invalid, or if a contract is already deployed at the computed address. Your deployment may also fail if your constructor reverts for any reason.
Next, create a function named deploy
:
function deploy(bytes32 salt, bytes memory creationCode) external payable returns (address addr) {
}
This function takes 2 inputs:
- The
salt
used to calculate the final address. This can basically be any random value we want it to be. - The creation code of the contract that we want to deploy.
The address of the newly deployed contract is the returned after a successful deploy.
ℹ️ Note
You can send ETH to a contract that is being deployed using
CREATE2
, but only if it has a payable constructor. If you try to send ETH to it without a payable constructor, the transaction will revert.
Add this revert statement at the top of the deploy function. We want our function to reject the deploy request if the following conditions are not met:
if (creationCode.length == 0) {
revert Create2EmptyBytecode();
}
Next, we will call the CREATE2
opcode using inline assembly, which can be done using the assembly
keyword:
To call the CREATE2 opcode from inline assembly, we need to pass in 4 parameters:
assembly {
addr := create2(callvalue(), add(creationCode, 0x20), mload(creationCode), salt)
}
- The amount of ETH that we want to send to the new address as part of the deployment. Here we just pass in the
callvalue()
, which is the amount of ETH sent to the factory contract as part of the transaction. Think of it as a lower level version ofmsg.value
. - The second and third parameters refer to the range of memory our bytecode is located in.
add(bytecode, 0x20)
takes in a reference to the location of thebytes
variable bytecode in memory, and skips 32 bytes (0x20 in hex) to point to the actual bytecode.
ℹ️ Note
The
bytes
type in Solidity is a dynamically sized byte array, where the first 32 bytes of memory represent the length of the array, and the remaining bytes represent the actual data. Therefore, when we pass in a reference tobytes
variable, we need to skip the first 32 bytes to point to the actual data. Read more about theadd
andmload
opcodes at evm.codes.
Finally, we will revert the whole transaction if the deployment fails for any reason, in which case the CREATE2
opcode will return a 0 address:
if (addr == address(0)) {
revert Create2FailedDeployment();
}
Lastly, let us create a view function named computeAddress
. This function should take in the salt
and creationCode
as parameters, and return the address of the contract that would be deployed using the deploy
function:
function computeAddress(bytes32 salt, bytes32 creationCodeHash) external view returns (address addr) {
}
Inside the function, paste the following code that uses inline assembly to calculate the address by performing the same calculations as the CREATE2
opcode would:
address contractAddress = address(this);
assembly {
let ptr := mload(0x40)
mstore(add(ptr, 0x40), creationCodeHash)
mstore(add(ptr, 0x20), salt)
mstore(ptr, contractAddress)
let start := add(ptr, 0x0b)
mstore8(start, 0xff)
addr := keccak256(start, 85)
}
Before trying to understand the assembly code here, let us take a look at the formula that the CREATE2
opcode uses to calculate the address:
keccak256(0xff ++ address ++ salt ++ keccak256(bytecode))[12:]
0xff
is a hardcoded prefix that prevents hash-collision between addresses that are deployed using CREATE
and CREATE2
.
The address
param refers to the address of the contract that is calling the CREATE2
opcode, in our case the factory contract.
These 4 params are concatenated together, and keccak256
is used to generate a 32 byte hash.
The first 12 bytes are truncated, and the remaining 20 bytes are used as the address of the deployed contract.
The entirety of the assembly code in the computeAddress
function is an attempt at recreating the same formula, albeit without calling the CREATE2
opcode:
mload(0x40)
loads the free memory pointer into memory. This is the pointer that points to the next free memory slot in the memory array. Read more about this in Solidity docs.mstore(add(ptr, 0x40), bytecodeHash)
stores thebytecodeHash
starting at the memory location pointed to byptr + 0x40
, i.e.ptr+ 64 bytes
.mstore(add(ptr, 0x20), salt)
stores thesalt
at the memory location pointed to byptr + 0x20
.mstore(ptr, contractAddress)
stores thecontractAddress
at the memory location pointed to byptr
.
ℹ️ Note
Recall that all the params passed to the
computeAddress
function are 32 bytes long, and are stored in memory as 32 byte values. However an address in Solidity is 20 bytes long, and is stored in memory as a 32 byte value, where the first 12 bytes are replaced by 0s. Therefore, when we need to skip 12 bytes to point to the actual address.
let start := add(ptr, 0x0b)
creates a new variablestart
that points to the memory locationptr + 0x0b
, i.e.ptr + 11 bytes
.- Lastly, the mstore8 opcode can be used to store a single byte at a memory location. Here, we are storing the value
0xff
at the memory location pointed to bystart
, which occupies the 12th byte of the memory slot. - With all the values packed into their correct memory locations, we can now call
keccak256
on the memory slot starting atstart
, and pass in the length of the memory slot as the second parameter. This will return a 32 byte hash, which we can truncate to get the final address.
ℹ️ Note
You can check out the complete code for this factory implementation here. Also check out OpenZeppelin’s CREATE2 library implementation, which has been used as inspiration for this tutorial. Finally, Forge offers some
CREATE2
address computation helper functions out of the box. Check them out.
Testing our factory
Create a file named Create2.t.sol
Inside the test
directory.
Initialize a contract named Create2Test
like this:
// SPDX-License-Identifier: UNLICENSED
pragma solidity ^0.8.20;
import {Test} from "forge-std/Test.sol";
import {Counter} from "../src/Counter.sol";
import {Create2} from "../src/Create2.sol";
contract Create2Test is Test {
}
Initialize the following state variables and the setUp()
function:
Create2 internal create2;
Counter internal counter;
function setUp() public {
create2 = new Create2();
counter = new Counter();
}
Create a new function named testDeterministicDeploy()
that:
- Deploys a new instance of the
Create2
contract. - Deals out a 100 ETH to the specific address that we will use to impersonate as the caller for all subsequent calls using the
prank
cheatcode. - Sets up the
salt
andbytecode
params - Uses the previously deployed
Create2
contract to deploy theCounter
contract at a deterministic address. - Checks if the contract was deployed at the correct address, by asserting that the computed address is equal to the deployed address.
function testDeterministicDeploy() public {
vm.deal(address(0x1), 100 ether);
vm.startPrank(address(0x1));
bytes32 salt = "12345";
bytes memory creationCode = abi.encodePacked(type(Counter).creationCode);
address computedAddress = create2.computeAddress(salt, keccak256(creationCode));
address deployedAddress = create2.deploy(salt , creationCode);
vm.stopPrank();
assertEq(computedAddress, deployedAddress);
}
Save all your files, and run the test using forge test --match-path test/Create2.t.sol -vvvv
.
Your test should pass without any errors.
Forking Mainnet with Cast and Anvil
Introduction
By combining Anvil and Cast, you can fork and test by interacting with contracts on a real network. The goal of this tutorial is to show you how to transfer Dai tokens from someone who holds Dai to an account created by Anvil.
Set Up
Let’s start by forking mainnet.
anvil --fork-url https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/$INFURA_KEY
You will see 10 accounts are created with their public and private keys. We will work with 0xf39fd6e51aad88f6f4ce6ab8827279cfffb92266
(Let’s call this user Alice).
Transferring Dai
Go to Etherscan and search for holders of Dai tokens (here). Let’s pick a random account. In this example we will be using 0xfc2eE3bD619B7cfb2dE2C797b96DeeCbD7F68e46
. Let’s export our contracts and accounts as environment variables:
export ALICE=0xf39fd6e51aad88f6f4ce6ab8827279cfffb92266
export DAI=0x6b175474e89094c44da98b954eedeac495271d0f
export UNLUCKY_USER=0xfc2eE3bD619B7cfb2dE2C797b96DeeCbD7F68e46
We can check Alice’s balance using cast call
:
$ cast call $DAI \
"balanceOf(address)(uint256)" \
$ALICE
0
Similarly, we can also check our unlucky user’s balance using cast call
:
$ cast call $DAI \
"balanceOf(address)(uint256)" \
$UNLUCKY_USER
21840114973524208109322438
Let’s transfer some tokens from the unlucky user to Alice using cast send
:
# This calls Anvil and lets us impersonate our unlucky user
$ cast rpc anvil_impersonateAccount $UNLUCKY_USER
$ cast send $DAI \
--from $UNLUCKY_USER \
"transfer(address,uint256)(bool)" \
$ALICE \
300000000000000000000000 \
--unlocked
blockHash 0xbf31c45f6935a0714bb4f709b5e3850ab0cc2f8bffe895fefb653d154e0aa062
blockNumber 15052891
...
Let’s check that the transfer worked:
cast call $DAI \
"balanceOf(address)(uint256)" \
$ALICE
300000000000000000000000
$ cast call $DAI \
"balanceOf(address)(uint256)" \
$UNLUCKY_USER

FAQ
This is a collection of common questions and answers. If you do not find your question listed here, hop in the Telegram support channel and let us help you!
I can’t build from source!
Make sure you’re on the latest stable Rust toolchain:
rustup default stable
rustup update stable
libusb
error when running forge
/cast
If you are using the binaries as released, you may see the following error on MacOS:
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/libusb/lib/libusb-1.0.0.dylib
In order to fix this, you must install the libusb
library:
brew install libusb
Out of date GLIBC
If you run into an error resembling the following after using foundryup
:
forge: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by forge)
There are 2 workarounds:
Help! I can’t see my logs!
Forge does not display logs by default. If you want to see logs from Hardhat’s console.log
or from DSTest-style log_*
events,
you need to run forge test
with verbosity 2 (-vv
).
If you want to see other events your contracts emit, you need to run with traces enabled.
To do that, set the verbosity to 3 (-vvv
) to see traces for failing tests, or 4 (-vvvv
) to see traces for all tests.
My tests are failing and I don’t know why!
To gain better insight into why your tests are failing, try using traces. To enable traces, you need to increase the verbosity
on forge test to at least 3 (-vvv
) but you can go as high as 5 (-vvvvv
) for even more traces.
You can learn more about traces in our Understanding Traces chapter.
How do I use console.log
?
To use Hardhat’s console.log
you must add it to your project by copying the file over from here.
Alternatively, you can use Forge Std which comes bundled with console.log
. To use console.log
from Forge Std,
you have to import it:
import {console} from "forge-std/console.sol";
How do I run specific tests?
If you want to run only a few tests, you can use --match-test
to filter test functions,
--match-contract
to filter test contracts, and --match-path
to filter test files on forge test
.
How do I use a specific Solidity compiler?
Forge will try to auto-detect what Solidity compiler works for your project.
To use a specific Solidity compiler, you can set solc
in your config file,
or pass --use solc:<version>
to a Forge command that supports it (e.g. forge build
or forge test
).
Paths to a solc binary are also accepted. To use a specific local solc binary, you can set solc = "<path to solc>"
in your config file, or pass --use "<path to solc>"
.
The solc version/path can also be set via the env variable FOUNDRY_SOLC=<version/path>
, but the cli arg --use
has priority.
For example, if you have a project that supports all 0.7.x Solidity versions, but you want to compile with solc 0.7.0, you could use forge build --use solc:0.7.0
.
How do I fork from a live network?
To fork from a live network, pass --fork-url <URL>
to forge test
.
You can also fork from a specific block using --fork-block-number <BLOCK>
, which adds determinism to your test, and allows Forge to cache
the chain data for that block.
For example, to fork from Ethereum mainnet at block 10,000,000 you could use: forge test --fork-url $MAINNET_RPC_URL --fork-block-number 10000000
.
How do I add my own assertions?
You can add your own assertions by creating your own base test contract and having that inherit from the test framework of your choice.
For example, if you use DSTest, you could create a base test contract like this:
contract TestBase is DSTest {
function myCustomAssertion(uint a, uint b) {
if (a != b) {
emit log_string("a and b did not match");
fail();
}
}
}
You would then inherit from TestBase
in your test contracts.
contract MyContractTest is TestBase {
function testSomething() {
// ...
}
}
Similarly, if you use Forge Std, you can create a base test contract that inherits from Test
.
For a good example of a base test contract that has helper methods and custom assertions, see Solmate’s DSTestPlus
.
How do I use Forge offline?
Forge will sometimes check for newer Solidity versions that fit your project. To use Forge offline, use the --offline
flag.
I’m getting Solc errors
solc-bin doesn’t offer static builds for Apple silicon. Foundry relies on svm to install native builds for Apple silicon.
All solc versions are installed under ~/.svm/
if the directory already exists. If not, it uses $XDG_DATA_HOME/svm/
, commonly mapped to $HOME/.local/share/svm/
on Linux or $HOME/Library/Application Support/svm/
on MacOS. If you encounter solc related errors, such as SolcError: ...
please remove the ~/.svm/
directory and try again, this will trigger a fresh install and usually resolves the issue.
If you’re on Apple silicon, please ensure the
z3
theorem prover is installed: brew install z3
Note: native Apple silicon builds are only available from
0.8.5
upwards. If you need older versions, you must enable Apple silicon rosetta to run them.
Forge fails in JavaScript monorepos (pnpm
)
Managers like pnpm
use symlinks to manage node_modules
folders.
A common layout may look like:
├── contracts
│ ├── contracts
│ ├── foundry.toml
│ ├── lib
│ ├── node_modules
│ ├── package.json
├── node_modules
│ ├── ...
├── package.json
├── pnpm-lock.yaml
├── pnpm-workspace.yaml
Where the Foundry workspace is in ./contracts
, but packages in ./contracts/node_modules
are symlinked to ./node_modules
.
When running forge build
in ./contracts/node_modules
, this can lead to an error like:
error[6275]: ParserError: Source "node_modules/@openzeppelin/contracts/utils/cryptography/draft-EIP712.sol" not found: File outside of allowed directories. The following are allowed: "<repo>/contracts", "<repo>/contracts/contracts", "<repo>/contracts/lib".
--> node_modules/@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC20/extensions/draft-ERC20Permit.sol:8:1:
|
8 | import "../../../utils/cryptography/draft-EIP712.sol";
This error happens when solc
was able to resolve symlinked files, but they’re outside the Foundry workspace (./contracts
).
Adding node_modules
to allow_paths
in foundry.toml
grants solc access to that directory, and it will be able to read it:
# This translates to `solc --allow-paths ../node_modules`
allow_paths = ["../node_modules"]
Note that the path is relative to the Foundry workspace. See also solc allowed-paths
I’m getting Permission denied (os error 13)
If you see an error like
Failed to create artifact parent folder "/.../MyProject/out/IsolationModeMagic.sol": Permission denied (os error 13)
Then there’s likely a folder permission issue. Ensure user
has write access in the project root’s folder.
It has been reported that on linux, canonicalizing paths can result in weird paths (/_1/...
). This can be resolved by nuking the entire project folder and initializing again.
Connection refused when running forge build
If you’re unable to access github URLs called by forge build
, you will see an error like
Error:
error sending request for url (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/roynalnaruto/solc-builds/ff4ea8a7bbde4488428de69f2c40a7fc56184f5e/macosx/aarch64/list.json): error trying to connect: tcp connect error: Connection refused (os error 61)
Connection failed because access to the URL from your location may be restricted. To solve this, you should set proxy.
You could run export http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:7890 https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:7890
first in the terminal then you will forge build
successfully.

$ forge bind --help
Usage: forge bind [OPTIONS]
Options:
-b, --bindings-path <PATH>
Path to where the contract artifacts are stored
--select <SELECT>
Create bindings only for contracts whose names match the specified
filter(s)
--select-all
Explicitly generate bindings for all contracts
By default all contracts ending with `Test` or `Script` are excluded.
--crate-name <NAME>

This should be a valid crates.io crate name, however, this is not
currently validated by this command.
[default: foundry-contracts]
--crate-version <VERSION>
The version of the Rust crate to generate.
This should be a standard semver version string, however, this is not
currently validated by this command.
[default: 0.1.0]
--module
Generate the bindings as a module instead of a crate
--overwrite
Overwrite existing generated bindings.
By default, the command will check that the bindings are correct, and
then exit. If --overwrite is passed, it will instead delete and
overwrite the bindings.
--single-file

Prague. Requires Docker to be installed.
Note that this is a temporary solution until the EOF support is merged
into the main solc release.
--skip <SKIP>...
Skip building files whose names contain the given filter.
`test` and `script` are aliases for `.t.sol` and `.s.sol`.
Linker options:

--ignored-error-codes <ERROR_CODES>
Ignore solc warnings by error code
--deny-warnings
Warnings will trigger a compiler error
--no-auto-detect
Do not auto-detect the `solc` version
--use <SOLC_VERSION>
Specify the solc version, or a path to a local solc, to build with.
Valid values are in the format `x.y.z`, `solc:x.y.z` or
`path/to/solc`.

deployed code will be executed across the life-time of the contract.
This means it is a trade-off parameter between code size (deploy cost)
and code execution cost (cost after deployment). An `optimizer_runs`
parameter of `1` will produce short but expensive code. In contrast, a
larger `optimizer_runs` parameter will produce longer but more gas
efficient code

--run-all
Explicitly re-run all tests when a change is made.
By default, only the tests of the last modified test file are
executed.
--watch-delay <DELAY>
File update debounce delay.
During the delay, incoming change events are accumulated and only once
the delay has passed, is an action taken. Note that this does not mean
a command will be started: if --no-restart is given and a command is
already running, the outcome of the action will be to do nothing.
Defaults to 50ms. Parses as decimal seconds by default, but using an
integer with the `ms` suffix may be more convenient.
When using --poll mode, you'll want a larger duration, or risk
overloading disk I/O.

Watch options:
-w, --watch [<PATH>...]
Watch the given files or directories for changes.
If no paths are provided, the source and test directories of the
project are watched.
--no-restart
Do not restart the command while it's still running
--run-all
Explicitly re-run all tests when a change is made.
By default, only the tests of the last modified test file are
executed.
--watch-delay <DELAY>
File update debounce delay.
During the delay, incoming change events are accumulated and only once
the delay has passed, is an action taken. Note that this does not mean
a command will be started: if --no-restart is given and a command is
already running, the outcome of the action will be to do nothing.
Defaults to 50ms. Parses as decimal seconds by default, but using an
integer with the `ms` suffix may be more convenient.
When using --poll mode, you'll want a larger duration, or risk
overloading disk I/O.
-p, --port <PORT>
Port for serving documentation

Whether to enable Alphanet features
Cache options:
--force
Clear the cache and artifacts folder and recompile
Build options:
--no-cache
Disable the cache
--eof
Use EOF-enabled solc binary. Enables via-ir and sets EVM version to
Prague. Requires Docker to be installed.
Note that this is a temporary solution until the EOF support is merged
into the main solc release.
--skip <SKIP>...
Skip building files whose names contain the given filter.
`test` and `script` are aliases for `.t.sol` and `.s.sol`.
Linker options:
--libraries <LIBRARIES>
Set pre-linked libraries
[env: DAPP_LIBRARIES=]
Compiler options:
--ignored-error-codes <ERROR_CODES>
Ignore solc warnings by error code
--deny-warnings
Warnings will trigger a compiler error
--no-auto-detect
Do not auto-detect the `solc` version
--use <SOLC_VERSION>
Specify the solc version, or a path to a local solc, to build with.
Valid values are in the format `x.y.z`, `solc:x.y.z` or
`path/to/solc`.
--offline
Do not access the network.
Missing solc versions will not be installed.
--via-ir
Use the Yul intermediate representation compilation pipeline
--no-metadata
Do not append any metadata to the bytecode.
This is equivalent to setting `bytecode_hash` to `none` and
`cbor_metadata` to `false`.
--ast
Includes the AST as JSON in the compiler output
--evm-version <VERSION>
The target EVM version
--optimize [<OPTIMIZE>]
Activate the Solidity optimizer
[possible values: true, false]
--optimizer-runs <RUNS>
The number of runs specifies roughly how often each opcode of the
deployed code will be executed across the life-time of the contract.
This means it is a trade-off parameter between code size (deploy cost)
and code execution cost (cost after deployment). An `optimizer_runs`
parameter of `1` will produce short but expensive code. In contrast, a
larger `optimizer_runs` parameter will produce longer but more gas
efficient code
--extra-output <SELECTOR>...
Extra output to include in the contract's artifact.
Example keys: evm.assembly, ewasm, ir, irOptimized, metadata
For a full description, see
<https://docs.soliditylang.org/en/v0.8.13/using-the-compiler.html#input-description>

Watch options:
-w, --watch [<PATH>...]
Watch the given files or directories for changes.
If no paths are provided, the source and test directories of the
project are watched.
--no-restart

--run-all
Explicitly re-run all tests when a change is made.
By default, only the tests of the last modified test file are
executed.
--watch-delay <DELAY>
File update debounce delay.
During the delay, incoming change events are accumulated and only once
the delay has passed, is an action taken. Note that this does not mean
a command will be started: if --no-restart is given and a command is
already running, the outcome of the action will be to do nothing.
Defaults to 50ms. Parses as decimal seconds by default, but using an
integer with the `ms` suffix may be more convenient.
When using --poll mode, you'll want a larger duration, or risk
overloading disk I/O.

cast wallet sign
Sign a message or typed data
$ cast wallet sign --help
Usage: cast wallet sign [OPTIONS] <MESSAGE>
Arguments:
<MESSAGE>
The message, typed data, or hash to sign.
Messages starting with 0x are expected to be hex encoded, which get
decoded before being signed.
The message will be prefixed with the Ethereum Signed Message header
and hashed before signing, unless `--no-hash` is provided.
Typed data can be provided as a json string or a file name. Use --data
flag to denote the message is a string of typed data. Use --data
--from-file to denote the message is a file name containing typed
data. The data will be combined and hashed using the EIP712
specification before signing. The data should be formatted as JSON.
Options:
--data
Treat the message as JSON typed data
--from-file
Treat the message as a file containing JSON typed data. Requires
`--data`
--no-hash
Treat the message as a raw 32-byte hash and sign it directly without
hashing it again

- 5 (-vvvvv): Print execution and setup traces for all tests.
-q, --quiet
Do not print log messages
--json
Format log messages as JSON
--color <COLOR>
The color of the log messages
Possible values:
- auto: Intelligently guess whether to use color output (default)
- always: Force color output
- never: Force disable color output
REPL options:
--prelude <PRELUDE>
Path to a directory containing Solidity files to import, or path to a
single Solidity file.
These files will be evaluated before the top-level of the REPL,
therefore functioning as a prelude
--no-vm
Disable the default `Vm` import.
The import is disabled by default if the Solc version is less than
0.6.2.
Cache options:
--force
Clear the cache and artifacts folder and recompile
Build options:
--no-cache
Disable the cache
--eof
Use EOF-enabled solc binary. Enables via-ir and sets EVM version to
Prague. Requires Docker to be installed.
Note that this is a temporary solution until the EOF support is merged
into the main solc release.
--skip <SKIP>...
Skip building files whose names contain the given filter.
`test` and `script` are aliases for `.t.sol` and `.s.sol`.
Linker options:
--libraries <LIBRARIES>
Set pre-linked libraries
[env: DAPP_LIBRARIES=]
Compiler options:
--ignored-error-codes <ERROR_CODES>
Ignore solc warnings by error code
--deny-warnings
Warnings will trigger a compiler error
--no-auto-detect
Do not auto-detect the `solc` version
--use <SOLC_VERSION>
Specify the solc version, or a path to a local solc, to build with.
Valid values are in the format `x.y.z`, `solc:x.y.z` or
`path/to/solc`.
--offline
Do not access the network.
Missing solc versions will not be installed.
--via-ir
Use the Yul intermediate representation compilation pipeline
--no-metadata
Do not append any metadata to the bytecode.
This is equivalent to setting `bytecode_hash` to `none` and
`cbor_metadata` to `false`.
--ast
Includes the AST as JSON in the compiler output
--evm-version <VERSION>
The target EVM version
--optimize [<OPTIMIZE>]
Activate the Solidity optimizer
[possible values: true, false]
--optimizer-runs <RUNS>
The number of runs specifies roughly how often each opcode of the
deployed code will be executed across the life-time of the contract.
This means it is a trade-off parameter between code size (deploy cost)
and code execution cost (cost after deployment). An `optimizer_runs`
parameter of `1` will produce short but expensive code. In contrast, a
larger `optimizer_runs` parameter will produce longer but more gas
efficient code
--extra-output <SELECTOR>...
Extra output to include in the contract's artifact.
Example keys: evm.assembly, ewasm, ir, irOptimized, metadata
For a full description, see
<https://docs.soliditylang.org/en/v0.8.13/using-the-compiler.html#input-description>
--extra-output-files <SELECTOR>...
Extra output to write to separate files.
Valid values: metadata, ir, irOptimized, ewasm, evm.assembly

SEE ALSO
forge clone
NAME
forge-clone - Clone a on-chain verified contract as a Forge project.
SYNOPSIS
forge clone
[options] address [root]
DESCRIPTION
Creates a new Forge project by cloning the source code of an on-chain verified contract in the directory root (by default the current working directory).
By default, forge clone
clones contracts from Ethereum mainnet (via Etherscan), but it is also possible to clone from other EVM-compatible blockchains that foundry supports, e.g., BNB Smart Chain (BSC), by specifying chain ID: --chain <ChainID>
.
Obtaining data from Etherscan is subject to rate limit. forge clone
requires two API calls to Etherscan to collect source code and deployment information, respectively. By default, forge clone
will wait for 5 seconds between the two Etherscan invocations to avoid rate limit errors.
Specifying Etherscan API key via --etherscan-api-key <API_KEY>
will increase Etherscan API rate limit and avoid the 5-second wait time in forge clone
.
Just as forge init
, forge clone
will by default initialize a new git repository, install some submodules and create an initial commit message.
If you do not want this behavior, pass --no-git
.
OPTIONS
Clone Options
-c
chain_id
--chain
chain_id
Specify the name or EIP-155 ID of the chain to clone contract from.
-e
api_key
--etherscan-api-key
api_key
Specify the API key of Etherscan (or equivalent).
--no-remappings-txt
Put remappings inside the foundry.toml
configuration file, instead of generating a separate remappings.txt
file.
VCS Options
--no-commit
Do not create an initial commit.
--no-git
Do not create a git repository.
Display Options
-q
--quiet
Do not print any messages.
Common Options
-h
--help
Prints help information.
EXAMPLES
-
Clone UniswapV3Pool contract from Ethereum mainnet:
forge clone 0x8f8EF111B67C04Eb1641f5ff19EE54Cda062f163 UniswapV3Pool
-
Clone a contract, but do not create a git repository:
forge clone --no-git 0x8f8EF111B67C04Eb1641f5ff19EE54Cda062f163 UniswapV3Pool
-
Clone a contract from BNB Smart Chain (BSC):
forge clone --chain bsc 0x7862D9B4bE2156B15d54F41ee4EDE2d5b0b455e4 UniswapV3Pool
Metadata
The cloned Forge project comes with an additional .clone.meta
metadata file in the root directory.
clone.meta
is a compact JSON data file that contains the information of the on-chain contract instance.
The metadata includes:
path
: The path to the source file that contains the declaration of contract deployed on chain.targetContract
: The name of the on-chain contract in the source file.address
: The address of the contract deployed on chain.chainId
: EIP-155 ID of the chain where the contract is deployed.creationTransaction
: The hash of the transaction that deployed the contract.deployer
: The account address who is the sender of thecreationTransaction
.constructorArguments
: The constructor arguments that is used when deploying the contract.storageLayout
: The storage layout of the on-chain contract (if the corresponding contract compiler version supports exporting storage layout).

Build Commands
forge build
NAME
forge-build - Build the project’s smart contracts.
SYNOPSIS
forge build
or forge b
[options]
DESCRIPTION
Build the project’s smart contracts.
The command will try to detect the latest version that can compile your project by looking at the version requirements of all your contracts and dependencies.
You can override this behaviour by passing --no-auto-detect
. Alternatively, you can pass --use <SOLC_VERSION>
.
If the command detects that the Solidity compiler version it is using to build is not installed,
it will download it and install it in ~/.svm
. You can disable this behavior by passing --offline
.
The build is incremental, and the build cache is saved in cache/
in the project root by default. If you
want to clear the cache, pass --force
, and if you want to change the cache directory, pass --cache-path <PATH>
.
It is possible to choose sources to build by specifying multiple path options (can be paths to source directories or files).
Build Modes
There are three build modes:
- Just compilation (default): Builds the project and saves the contract artifacts in
out/
(or the path specified by--out <PATH>
). - Size mode (
--sizes
): Builds the project, displays the size of non-test contracts and exits with code 1 if any of them are above the size limit. - Name mode (
--names
): Builds the project, displays the names of the contracts and exits.
The Optimizer
You can enable the optimizer by passing --optimize
, and you can adjust the number of optimizer runs by passing --optimizer-runs <RUNS>
.
You can also opt-in to the Solidity IR compilation pipeline by passing --via-ir
. Read more about the IR pipeline in the Solidity docs.
By default, the optimizer is enabled and runs for 200 cycles.
Conditional Optimizer Usage
Many projects use the solc optimizer, either through the standard compilation pipeline or the IR pipeline. But in some cases, the optimizer can significantly slow down compilation speeds.
A config file for a project using the optimizer may look like this for regular compilation:
[profile.default]
solc-version = "0.8.17"
optimizer = true
optimizer-runs = 10_000_000
Or like this for via-ir
:
[profile.default]
solc-version = "0.8.17"
via_ir = true
To reduce compilation speeds during development and testing, one approach is to have a lite
profile that has the optimizer off and use this for development/testing cycle. The updated config file for regular compilation may look like this:
[profile.default]
solc-version = "0.8.17"
optimizer = true
optimizer-runs = 10_000_000
[profile.lite]
optimizer = false
Or like this for via-ir
:
[profile.default]
solc-version = "0.8.17"
via_ir = true
[profile.lite.optimizer_details.yulDetails]
optimizerSteps = ''
When setup like this, forge build
(or forge test
/ forge script
) still uses the standard profile, so by default a forge script
invocation will deploy your contracts with the production setting. Running FOUNDRY_PROFILE=lite forge build
(and again, same for the test and script commands) will use the lite profile to reduce compilation times.
There are additional optimizer details you can configure, see the Additional Optimizer Settings section below for more info.
Artifacts
You can add extra output from the Solidity compiler to your artifacts by passing --extra-output <SELECTOR>
.
The selector is a path in the Solidity compiler output, which you can read more about in the Solidity docs.
You can also write some of the compiler output to separate files by passing --extra-output-files <SELECTOR>
.
Valid selectors for --extra-output-files
are:
metadata
: Written as ametadata.json
file in the artifacts directoryir
: Written as a.ir
file in the artifacts directoryirOptimized
: Written as a.iropt
file in the artifacts directoryewasm
: Written as a.ewasm
file in the artifacts directoryevm.assembly
: Written as a.asm
file in the artifacts directory
Watch Mode
The command can be run in watch mode by passing --watch [PATH...]
, which will rebuild every time a
watched file or directory is changed. The source directory is watched by default.
Sparse Mode (experimental)
Sparse mode only compiles files that match certain criteria.
By default, this filter applies to files that have not been changed since the last build, but for commands that take file filters (e.g. forge test), sparse mode will only recompile files that match the filter.
Sparse mode is opt-in until the feature is stabilized. To opt-in to sparse mode and try it out, set sparse_mode
in your configuration file.
Additional Optimizer Settings
The optimizer can be fine-tuned with additional settings. Simply set the optimizer_details
table in your configuration file. For example:
[profile.default.optimizer_details]
constantOptimizer = true
yul = true
[profile.default.optimizer_details.yulDetails]
stackAllocation = true
optimizerSteps = 'dhfoDgvulfnTUtnIf'
See the compiler input description documentation
for more information on available settings (specifically settings.optimizer.details
).
Revert Strings
You can control how revert strings are generated by the compiler. By default, only user supplied revert strings are included in the bytecode, but there are other options:
strip
: Removes all revert strings (if possible, i.e. if literals are used) keeping side-effects.debug
: Injects strings for compiler-generated internal reverts, implemented for ABI encoders V1 and V2 for now.verboseDebug
: Appends further information to user-supplied revert strings (not yet implemented).
Additional Model Checker settings
Solidity’s built-in model checker is an opt-in module that can be enabled via the ModelChecker
object.
See Compiler Input Description settings.modelChecker
and the model checker’s options.
The module is available in solc
release binaries for OSX and Linux. The latter requires the z3 library version [4.8.8, 4.8.14] to be installed in the system (SO version 4.8).
Similarly to the optimizer settings above, the model_checker
settings must be prefixed with the profile they correspond to: [profile.default.model_checker]
belongs to the [profile.default]
.
## foundry.toml
[profile.default.model_checker]
contracts = { '/path/to/project/src/Contract.sol' = [ 'Contract' ] }
engine = 'chc'
timeout = 10000
targets = [ 'assert' ]
The fields above are recommended when using the model checker.
Setting which contract should be verified is extremely important, otherwise all available contracts will be verified which can consume a lot of time.
The recommended engine is chc
, but bmc
and all
(runs both) are also accepted.
It is also important to set a proper timeout (given in milliseconds), since the default time given to the underlying solvers may not be enough.
If no verification targets are given, only assertions will be checked.
The model checker will run when forge build
is invoked, and will show findings as warnings if any.

Test Commands
forge test
NAME
forge-test - Run the project’s tests.
SYNOPSIS
forge test
[options]
DESCRIPTION
Run the project’s tests.
Forking
It is possible to run the tests in a forked environment by passing --fork-url <URL>
.
When the tests are running in a forked environment, you can access all the state of the forked chain as you would if you had deployed the contracts. Cheatcodes are still available.
You can also specify a block number to fork from by passing --fork-block-number <BLOCK>
. When forking from a
specific block, the chain data is cached to ~/.foundry/cache
. If you do not want to cache the chain data,
pass --no-storage-caching
.
Traces that cannot be decoded by local contracts when running in a forked environment (e.g. calls to
contracts that live on mainnet, like tokens) can optionally be decoded using Etherscan. To use Etherscan
for trace decoding, set ETHERSCAN_API_KEY
or pass --etherscan-api-key <KEY>
.
Debugging
It is possible to run a test in an interactive debugger. To start the debugger, pass --debug <TEST>
.
If multiple tests match the specified pattern, you must use other test filters in order to reduce the matching number of tests to exactly 1.
If the test is a unit test, it is immediately opened in the debugger.
If the test is a fuzz test, the fuzz test is run and the debugger is opened on the first failing scenario. If there are no failing scenarios for the fuzz test, the debugger is opened on the last scenario.
More information on the debugger can be found in the debugger chapter.
Gas reports
You can generate a gas report by passing --gas-report
.
More information on gas reports can be found in the gas reports chapter.
List
It is possible to list the tests without running them.
You can pass --json
to make it easier for outside extensions to parse structured content.
OPTIONS
Test Options
-m
regex
--match
regex
Only run test functions matching the specified regex pattern.
Deprecated: See --match-test
.
--match-test

glob
Only run tests in source files matching the specified glob pattern.
--no-match-path
glob
Only run tests in source files that do not match the specified glob pattern.
--debug
regex
Run a test in the debugger.
The argument passed to this flag is the name of the test function you want to run, and it works the same as --match-test
.
If more than one test matches your specified criteria, you must add additional filters until only one test is found (see --match-contract
and --match-path
).
The matching test will be opened in the debugger regardless of the outcome of the test.
If the matching test is a fuzz test, then it will open the debugger on the first failure case. If the fuzz test does not fail, it will open the debugger on the last fuzz case.
For more fine-grained control of which fuzz case is run, see forge debug
.
--gas-report
Print a gas report.
--allow-failure
Exit with code 0 even if a test fails.
--fail-fast
Stop running tests after the first failure.
--etherscan-api-key

If more than one test matches your specified criteria, you must add additional filters until only one test is found (see --match-contract
and --match-path
).
The matching test will be opened in the debugger regardless of the outcome of the test.
If the matching test is a fuzz test, then it will open the debugger on the first failure case. If the fuzz test does not fail, it will open the debugger on the last fuzz case.
For more fine-grained control of which fuzz case is run, see forge debug
.

forge verify-contract
NAME
forge-verify-contract - Verify smart contracts on a chosen verification provider.
SYNOPSIS
forge verify-contract
[options] address contract
DESCRIPTION
Verifies a smart contract on a chosen verification provider.
You must provide:
- The contract address
- The contract name or the path to the contract (read below) In case of Etherscan verification, you must also provide:
- Your Etherscan API key, either by passing it as an argument or setting
ETHERSCAN_API_KEY
To find the exact compiler version, run ~/.svm/x.y.z/solc-x.y.z --version
and search for the 8 hex digits in the version string here.
The path to the contract is in the format <path>:<contract>
, e.g. src/Contract.sol:Contract
.
By default, smart contracts are verified in a multi-file fashion. If you want to flatten the contract before verifying, pass --flatten
.
This command will try to compile the source code of the flattened contract if --flatten
is passed before verifying. If you do not want that, pass --force
.
You can specify ABI-encoded constructor arguments with --constructor-args
. Alternatively,
you can specify a file containing space-separated constructor arguments with --constructor-args-path
.
(Note that cache must be enabled in the config for the latter to work.)

forge debug
NAME
forge-debug - Debug a single smart contract as a script.
SYNOPSIS
forge debug
[options] path [args…]
DESCRIPTION
Debugs a single smart contract located in the source file (path) as a script.
If multiple contracts are in the specified source file, you must pass --target-contract
to specify
what contract you want to run.
Calls
After the script is deployed to the internal EVM a call is made to a function with the signature setUp()
, if present.
By default, the script is assumed to be contained in a function with the signature run()
. If you wish to
run a different function, pass --sig <SIGNATURE>
.
The signature can be a fragment (<function name>(<types>)
), or raw calldata.
If you pass a fragment, and the function has parameters, you can add the call parameters to the end of the command (args).
Forking
It is possible to run the script in a forked environment by passing --fork-url <URL>
.
When the script is running in a forked environment, you can access all the state of the forked chain as you would if you had deployed the script. Cheatcodes are still available.
You can also specify a block number to fork from by passing --fork-block-number <BLOCK>
. When forking from a
specific block, the chain data is cached to ~/.foundry/cache
. If you do not want to cache the chain data,
pass --no-storage-caching
.
Debugging
It is possible to run the script in an interactive debugger. To start the debugger, pass --debug
.
More information on the debugger can be found in the debugger chapter.

forge bind
NAME
forge-bind - Generate Rust bindings for smart contracts.
SYNOPSIS
forge bind
[options]
DESCRIPTION
Generates Rust bindings for smart contracts using ethers-rs.
The bindings are generated from the project’s artifacts, which by default is ./out/
.
If you want to generate bindings for artifacts in a different directory, pass --bindings-path <PATH>
.
There are three output options:
- Generate bindings in a crate (default)
- Generate bindings in a module by passing
--module
- Generate bindings in a single file by passing
--single-file
By default, the command will check that existing bindings are correct and exit accordingly.
You can overwrite the existing bindings by passing --overwrite
.
OPTIONS
Project Options
-b
path
--bindings-path
path
The project’s root path. By default, this is the root directory of the current git repository, or the current working directory.
--crate-name
name
The name of the Rust crate to generate, if you are generating a crate (default).
This should be a valid crates.io crate name.
Default: foundry-contracts
--crate-version
semver
The version of the Rust crate to generate, if you are generating a crate (default).
This should be a standard semver version string.
Default: 0.0.1
--module
Generate the bindings as a module instead of a crate.
--single-file
Generate bindings as a single file.
--overwrite
Overwrite existing generated bindings. By default, the command will check that the bindings are correct, and then exit.
If --overwrite
is passed, it will instead delete and overwrite the bindings.
--root
path
The project’s root path. By default, this is the root directory of the current git repository, or the current working directory.
--skip-cargo-toml
Skip Cargo.toml consistency checks.
This allows you to manage the ethers version without giving up on consistency checks.
An example would be if you use additional features of ethers like ws
, ipc
, or rustls
and get an ethers-providers
version mismatch.
--skip-build
Skips running forge build before generating binding.
This allows you to skip the default forge build
step that’s executed first and instead generate bindings using the already existing artifacts.
--select-all
By default all contracts ending with Test
or Script
are excluded. This will explicitly generate bindings for all contracts. Conflicts with --select
and --skip
.
--select
regex+
Create bindings only for contracts whose names match the specified filter(s). Conflicts with --skip
.
--skip
regex+
Create bindings only for contracts whose names do not match the specified filter(s). Conflicts with --select
.

Mining Modes
Mining modes refer to how frequent blocks are mined using Anvil. By default, it automatically generates a new block as soon as a transaction is submitted.
You can change this setting to interval mining if you will, which means that a new block will be generated in a given period of time selected by the user. If you want to go for this type of mining, you can do it by adding the --block-time <block-time-in-seconds>
flag, like in the following example.
# Produces a new block every 10 seconds
anvil --block-time 10
There’s also a third mining mode called never. In this case, it disables auto and interval mining, and mine on demand instead. You can do this by typing:
# Enables never mining mode
anvil --no-mining
To speed up the finalization of blocks, you can use the --slots-in-an-epoch
flag with a value of 1
for example. This will lead to the block at height N-2
being finalized, where N
is the latest block.
Supported Transport Layers
HTTP and Websocket connections are supported. The server listens on port 8545 by default, but it can be changed by running the following command:
anvil --port <PORT>
Default CREATE2 Deployer
Anvil, when used without forking, includes the default CREATE2 deployer proxy at the address 0x4e59b44847b379578588920ca78fbf26c0b4956c
.
This allows you to test CREATE2 deployments locally without forking.

Usage within Docker
In order to run anvil as a service in Github Actions with the Docker container, where passing arguments to the entrypoint command is not possible, use the ANVIL_IP_ADDR
environment variable to set the host’s IP. ANVIL_IP_ADDR=0.0.0.0
is equivalent to providing the --host <ip>
option.
Using genesis.json
The genesis.json
file in Anvil serves a similar purpose as in Geth, defining the network’s initial state, consensus rules, and preallocated accounts to ensure all nodes start consistently and maintain network integrity. All values, including balance, gas limit and such, are to be defined as hexadecimals.

Flags
See man chisel
or chisel --help
for all available environment configuration flags.
DESCRIPTION
Chisel is a Solidity REPL (short for “read-eval-print loop”) that allows developers to write and test Solidity code snippets. It provides an interactive environment for writing and executing Solidity code, as well as a set of built-in commands for working with and debugging your code. This makes it a useful tool for quickly testing and experimenting with Solidity code without having to spin up a sandbox foundry test suite.
Usage
To open chisel, simply execute the chisel
binary.
From there, input valid Solidity code. There are two kinds of inputs to the chisel prompt apart from commands:
- Expressions
- Expressions are statements that return a value or otherwise can be evaluated on their own. For example,
1 << 8
is an expression that will evaluate to auint256
with the value256
. Expressions will be evaluated up front, and will not persist in the session state past their evaluation. - Examples:
address(0).balance
abi.encode(256, bytes32(0), "Chisel!")
myViewFunc(128)
- …
- Expressions are statements that return a value or otherwise can be evaluated on their own. For example,
- Statements
- Statements are snippets of code that are meant to persist in the session’s state. Statements include
variable definitions, calls to non-state-mutating functions that return a value, and contract, function,
event, error, mapping, or struct definitions. If you would like an expression to be evaluated as a statement,
a semi-colon (
;
) can be appended to the end. - Examples:
-
uint256 a = 0xa57b
-
myStateMutatingFunc(128)
||myViewFunc(128);
<- Notice the;
-
function hash64( bytes32 _a, bytes32 _b ) internal pure returns (bytes32 _hash) { assembly { // Store the 64 bytes we want to hash in scratch space mstore(0x00, _a) mstore(0x20, _b) // Hash the memory in scratch space // and assign the result to `_hash` _hash := keccak256(0x00, 0x40) } }
-
event ItHappened(bytes32 indexed hash)
-
struct Complex256 { uint256 re; uint256 im; }
-
…
-
- Statements are snippets of code that are meant to persist in the session’s state. Statements include
variable definitions, calls to non-state-mutating functions that return a value, and contract, function,
event, error, mapping, or struct definitions. If you would like an expression to be evaluated as a statement,

Session
!clear
| !c
Clear current session source.
Under the hood, each Chisel session has an underlying contract that is altered as you input statements. This command clears this contract and resets your session to the default state.
!source
| !so
Display the source code of the current session.
As mentioned above, each Chisel session has an underlying contract. This command will display the source code of this contract.
!save [id]
| !s [id]
Save the current session to cache.
Chisel allows for caching sessions, which can be very useful if you are testing more complex logic in Chisel or if you want to return to a session at a later time. All cached Chisel sessions are stored in ~/.foundry/cache/chisel
.
If an id
argument is not supplied, Chisel will automatically assign a numerical ID to the session you are saving.
!load <id>
| !l <id>
Load a previous session ID from cache.
This command will load a previously cached session from the cache. Along with the session’s source, all environment settings will also be loaded. The id
argument must correspond with an existing cached session in the ~/.foundry/cache/chisel
directory.
!list
| !ls
List all cached sessions.
This command will display all cached chisel sessions within the ~/.foundry/cache/chisel
directory.
!clearcache
| !cc
Clear the chisel cache of all stored sessions.
Deletes all cache files within the ~/.foundry/cache/chisel
directory. These sessions are unrecoverable, so use this command with care.
!export
| !ex
Export the current session source to a script file.
If chisel
was executed from the root directory of a foundry project, it is possible to export your current session to a foundry script in the scripts
dir of your project.
!fetch <addr> <name>
| !fe <addr> <name>
Fetch the interface of a verified contract on Etherscan.
This command will attempt to parse the interface of a verified contract @ <addr>
from the Etherscan API. If successful, the interface will be inserted into the session source with the name <name>
.
At the moment, only interfaces of verified contracts on Ethereum mainnet can be fetched. In the future, Chisel will support fetching interfaces from multiple Etherscan-supported chains.
!edit
Open the current session’s run()
function in an editor.
chisel will use the editor defined in the $EDITOR
environment variable.
Environment
!fork <url>
| !f <url>
Fork an RPC for the current session. Supply 0 arguments to return to a local network.
Attempts to fork the state of the provided RPC. If no URL is provided, returns to using a blank, local devnet state.
!traces
| !t
Enable / disable traces for the current session.
When tracing is enabled, foundry-style call tracing and logs will be printed after each statement is inserted.
Debug
!memdump
| !md
Dump the raw memory of the current state.
Attempts to dump the raw memory of the machine state after the last instruction of the REPL contract’s run
function has finished executing.
!stackdump
| !sd
Dump the raw stack of the current state.
Attempts to dump the raw stack of the machine state after the last instruction of the REPL contract’s run
function has finished executing.
!rawstack <var>
| !rs <var>
Display the raw value of a variable’s stack allocation. For variables that are > 32 bytes in length, this will display their memory pointer.
This command is useful when you want to view the full raw stack allocation for a variable that is less than 32 bytes in length.
Example:
➜ address addr
➜ assembly {
addr := not(0)
}
➜ addr
Type: address
└ Data: 0xffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
➜ !rs addr
Type: bytes32
└ Data: 0xffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

Config Overview
Foundry’s configuration system allows you to configure its tools.
Profiles
Configuration can be arbitrarily namespaced into profiles. The default profile is named default
, and all other profiles inherit values from this profile. Profiles are defined in the profile
map.
To add a profile named local
, you would add:
[profile.local]
You can select the profile to use by setting the FOUNDRY_PROFILE
environment variable.
Global configuration
You can create a foundry.toml
file in ~/.foundry
folder to configure Foundry globally.
Environment variables
Configuration can be overridden with FOUNDRY_
and DAPP_
prefixed environment variables.
Exceptions are:
FOUNDRY_FFI
,DAPP_FFI
,DAPP_TEST_FFI
FOUNDRY_PROFILE
FOUNDRY_REMAPPINGS
,DAPP_REMAPPINGS
FOUNDRY_LIBRARIES
,DAPP_LIBRARIES
FOUNDRY_FS_PERMISSIONS
,DAPP_FS_PERMISSIONS
,DAPP_TEST_FS_PERMISSIONS
DAPP_TEST_CACHE

: Written as a.asm
file in the artifacts directory
extra_output
- Type: array of strings
- Default: see below
- Environment: N/A
Extra output to include in the contract’s artifact.
The following values are always set, since they’re required by Forge:
extra_output = [
"abi",
"evm.bytecode",
"evm.deployedBytecode",
"evm.methodIdentifiers",
]
For a list of valid values, see the [Solidity docs][output-desc].

Whether or not to enable the Solidity optimizer.
optimizer_runs
- Type: integer
- Default: 200
- Environment:
FOUNDRY_OPTIMIZER_RUNS
orDAPP_OPTIMIZER_RUNS
The number of runs specifies roughly how often each opcode of the deployed code will be executed across the life-time of the contract. This means it is a trade-off parameter between code size (deploy cost) and code execution cost (cost after deployment). A optimizer_runs
parameter of 1
will produce short but expensive code. In contrast, a larger optimizer_runs
parameter will produce longer but more gas efficient code. The maximum value of the parameter is 2**32-1
.
A common misconception is that this parameter specifies the number of iterations of the optimizer. This is not true: The optimizer will always run as many times as it can still improve the code.

- Environment:
FOUNDRY_VIA_IR
orDAPP_VIA_IR
If set to true, changes compilation pipeline to go through the new IR optimizer.

The optimizer details section is used to tweak how the Solidity optimizer behaves. There are several configurable values in this section (each of them are booleans):
peephole
inliner
jumpdestRemover
orderLiterals
deduplicate
cse
constantOptimizer
yul
Refer to the Solidity compiler input description for the default values.
[optimizer_details.yul_details]
The Yul details subsection of the optimizer details section is used to tweak how the new IR optimizer behaves. There are two configuration values:
stack_allocation
: Tries to improve the allocation of stack slots by freeing them up earlier.optimizer_steps
: Selects the optimizer steps to be applied.
Refer to the Solidity compiler input description for the default values.
ℹ️ Note If you encounter compiler errors when using
via_ir
, explicitly enable the legacyoptimizer
and leaveoptimizer_steps
as an empty string
Model checker
The Solidity model checker is a built-in opt-in module that is available in Solidity compilers for OSX and Linux. Learn more about the model checker in the Solidity compiler documentation
ℹ️ Note The model checker requires
z3
version 4.8.8 or 4.8.14 on Linux.
The model checker settings are configured in the [model_checker]
section of the configuration.
The model checker will run when forge build
is invoked, and any findings will show up as warnings.
These are the recommended settings when using the model checker:
[profile.default.model_checker]
contracts = {'/path/to/project/src/Contract.sol' = ['Contract']}
engine = 'chc'
timeout = 10000
targets = ['assert']
Setting which contract should be verified is extremely important, otherwise all available contracts will be verified which may take a long time.
The recommended engine is chc
, but bmc
and all
(which runs both) are also accepted.
It is also important to set a proper timeout (given in milliseconds), since the default time given to the underlying solver may not be enough.
If no verification targets are given, only assertions will be checked.
[model_checker]
The following keys are available in the model checker section.
model_checker.contracts
- Type: table
- Default: all
- Environment: N/A
Specifies what contracts the model checker will analyze.

Configuration values for [invariant]
section.
ℹ️ Note
Configuration for
[invariant]
section has the fallback logic for common config entries (runs
,seed
,dictionary_weight
etc).
- If the entries are not set in either section, then the defaults will be used.
- If the entries are set in the
[fuzz]
section, but are not set in the[invariant]
section, these values will automatically be set to the values specified in the[fuzz]
section.- For any profile other than
default
:
- If at least one entry is set in the
[invariant]
(same as[profile.default.invariant]
) section, then the values from[invariant]
section will be used, including defaults.- If no entry is set in the
[invariant]
section, but there are entries in the[fuzz]
(same as[profile.default.fuzz]
) section, then the values from the[fuzz]

In-line test configuration
Foundry users are enabled to specify overall test configurations, using a combination of ENV variables and config statements in the foundry.toml
. Checkout the Testing reference
for a detailed description.
Despite this may work in the general case, some tests may need finer control over their configuration. For such reason Forge provides a way to specify per-test configs for invariant and fuzz testing scenarios.
Users can in-line test config statements directly in Solidity comments. This would affect the behavior of the forge test
command for a specific test instance, as illustrated in the example below.
contract MyTest is Test {
/// forge-config: default.fuzz.runs = 100
/// forge-config: ci.fuzz.runs = 500
/// forge-config: default.fuzz.show-logs = true
function test_SimpleFuzzTest(uint256 x) public {
// --- snip ---
}
}
What we are asking here is to run our fuzzer 100
and 500
times for the default
and ci
profiles respectively. The interesting fact is that this would override any fuzz runs
setup existing at a global level. All other configs would be inherited from the global context, making this acting as a fallback for all possible configurations.
Block comments
In-line test configurations can also be expressed in block comments, as illustrated in the example.
contract MyTest is Test {
/**
* forge-config: default.fuzz.runs = 1024
* forge-config: default.fuzz.max-test-rejects = 500
* forge-config: default.fuzz.show-logs = true
*/
function test_SimpleFuzzTest(uint256 x) public {
// --- snip ---
}
}
In-line fuzz configs
Users can specify the configs described in the table. Each statement must have a prefix of the form forge-config: ${PROFILE}.fuzz.
Parameter | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
runs | integer | The amount of fuzz runs to perform for this specific test case. Reference . |
max-test-rejects | integer | The maximum number of combined inputs that may be rejected before the test as a whole aborts. Reference . |
show-logs | boolean | The flag indicates whether to display console logs in fuzz tests or not. Works when verbosity >= 2 . Reference . |
Fuzz config example
contract MyFuzzTest is Test {
/// forge-config: default.fuzz.runs = 100
/// forge-config: default.fuzz.max-test-rejects = 2
/// forge-config: default.fuzz.show-logs = true
function test_InlineConfig(uint256 x) public {
// --- snip ---
}
}
In-line invariant configs
Users can specify the configs described in the table. Each statement must have a prefix of the form forge-config: ${PROFILE}.invariant.
Parameter | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
runs | integer | The amount of invariant runs to perform for this specific test case. Reference . |
depth | integer | The number of calls executed to attempt to break invariant in one run. Reference . |
fail-on-revert | boolean | Fails the invariant fuzzing if a revert occurs. Reference . |
call-override | boolean | Overrides unsafe external calls when running invariant test. Reference . |
Invariant config example

/// forge-config: default.invariant.runs = 100
/// forge-config: default.invariant.depth = 2
/// forge-config: default.invariant.fail-on-revert = false
/// forge-config: default.invariant.call-override = true
function invariant_InlineConfig() public {
// --- snip ---
}
}
Formatter
Configuration related to the behavior of the Forge formatter. Each of these keys live under the [fmt]
section.
single_line_statement_blocks
This allows configuring the style of statement blocks independently of the line length.
The single_line_statement_blocks
configuration option in Foundry controls whether statement blocks (code blocks enclosed in { }
) will be formatted to a single line or multiple lines.
It has three possible values:
"single"
- Statement blocks will be formatted to a single line if possible."multi"
- Statement blocks will always be formatted to multiple lines."preserve"
- Keep the existing single/multi line formatting of statement blocks.
For example, with "single"
:
if (true) { return true; }
With "multi"
:
if (true) {
return true;
}
And with "preserve"
, it will keep the original formatting of the code.
multiline_func_header
This allows configuring the formatting of long function headers.
- Type: string
- Default:
attributes_first
- Environment:
FOUNDRY_FMT_MULTILINE_FUNC_HEADER
orDAPP_FMT_MULTILINE_FUNC_HEADER
The multiline_func_header
configuration option in Foundry controls how function headers (the line containing the function name, parameters, return values etc.) are formatted when they exceed the max line length.
Style of multiline function header in case it doesn’t fit in one line. Valid possible values:
"attributes_first"
- (default) Write function attributes multiline first"params_first"
- Break the function header into multiple lines, with each parameter on its own line. The function name stays on the first line."all"
- If function parameters or attributes are multiline, multiline everything
Style of multiline function header in case it doesn’t fit in one line. Valid values are:
For example, with "params_first"
:
function myFunction(
uint256 param1,
uint256 param2,
uint256 param3
) public returns (uint256) {
// ...
}
And with "all"
:
function myFunction(
uint256 param1,
uint256 param2,
uint256 param3
)
public
returns (uint256)
{
// ...
}
sort_imports
helps organize imports and makes it easier to find specific imports quickly.
The sort_imports
configuration option in Foundry controls whether import statements are sorted alphabetically within their import groups.
From the code snippets provided:
- In
fmt.rs
,sort_imports
is a configuration option that can be set totrue
orfalse
. - In
formatter.rs
, thesort_imports()
method is called to sort import statements alphabetically ifsort_imports
is enabled. - It finds import groups separated by blank lines in the source code.
- Then sorts the import statements within each group alphabetically.
So in summary, enabling sort_imports
will reorder solidity import statements alphabetically within their section groups, while preserving the relative ordering of the groups.
contract_new_lines
Controls the addition of blank lines before and after contract definitions.
The contract_new_lines
configuration option in Foundry controls whether empty lines are added before and after contract definitions.
When enabled (contract_new_lines = true
):
- An empty line will be added before the start of a contract definition.
- An empty line will also be added after the end of a contract definition.
For example, with contract_new_lines
enabled:
// Empty line before contract contract MyContract { // ... } // Empty line after contract
This helps visually separate contract definitions and improve readability.
When disabled (contract_new_lines = false
), empty lines will not be added around contracts.
So in summary, the contract_new_lines
option controls the addition of blank lines before and after contract definitions.
override_spacing
The override_spacing
configuration option in Foundry controls whether a space is printed between the override
keyword and the parent contracts when overriding a function or modifier.
When override_spacing
is enabled:
- A space will be added after the
override
keyword.
For example:
contract Child is Parent {
function foo() override (Parent) public { }
}
When disabled, there will be no space between override
and the parent contracts:
contract Child is Parent {
function foo() override(Parent) public { }
}
Enables configuring the styling of override declarations.
override_spacing = true
- Print a space afteroverride
override_spacing = false
- No space afteroverride

Etherscan
Configuration related to Etherscan, such as API keys. This configuration is used in various places by Forge.
The [etherscan]
section is a mapping of keys to Etherscan configuration tables. The Etherscan configuration tables hold the following keys:
key
(string) (required): The Etherscan API key for the given network. The value of this property can also point to an environment variable.chain
: The chain name or ID of the chain this Etherscan configuration is for.url
: The Etherscan API URL.
If the key of the configuration is a chain name, then chain
is not required, otherwise it is. url
can be used to explicitly set the Etherscan API URL for chains not natively supported by name.
Using TOML inline table syntax, all of these are valid:
[etherscan]
mainnet = { key = "${ETHERSCAN_MAINNET_KEY}" }
mainnet2 = { key = "ABCDEFG", chain = "mainnet" }
optimism = { key = "1234567" }
unknown_chain = { key = "ABCDEFG", url = "<etherscan api url for this chain>" }
Cheatcodes Reference
Cheatcodes give you powerful assertions, the ability to alter the state of the EVM, mock data, and more.
Cheatcodes are made available through use of the cheatcode address (0x7109709ECfa91a80626fF3989D68f67F5b1DD12D
).
ℹ️ Note
If you encounter errors for this address when using fuzzed addresses in your tests, you may wish to exclude it from your fuzz tests by using the following line:
vm.assume(address_ != 0x7109709ECfa91a80626fF3989D68f67F5b1DD12D);
You can also access cheatcodes easily via vm
available in Forge Standard Library’s Test
contract.
Forge Standard Library Cheatcodes
Forge Std implements wrappers around cheatcodes, which combine multiple standard cheatcodes to improve development experience. These are not technically cheatcodes, but rather compositions of Forge’s cheatcodes.
You can view the list of Forge Standard Library’s cheatcode wrappers in the references section. You can reference the Forge Std source code to learn more about how the wrappers work under the hood.
Cheatcode Types
Below are some subsections for the different Forge cheatcodes.
- Environment: Cheatcodes that alter the state of the EVM.
- Assertions: Cheatcodes that are powerful assertions
- Fuzzer: Cheatcodes that configure the fuzzer
- External: Cheatcodes that interact with external state (files, commands, …)
- Utilities: Smaller utility cheatcodes
- Forking: Forking mode cheatcodes
- Snapshots: Snapshot cheatcodes
- RPC: RPC related cheatcodes
- File: Cheatcodes for working with files
Add a new cheatcode
If you need a new feature, consider contributing to the Foundry’s codebase to add the cheatcode.

Signature
function warp(uint256) external;
Description
Sets block.timestamp

vm.warp(1641070800);
emit log_uint(block.timestamp); // 1641070800
SEE ALSO
Forge Standard Library
roll
Signature
function roll(uint256) external;
Description
Sets block.number
.
Examples
vm.roll(100);
emit log_uint(block.number); // 100
SEE ALSO
fee
Signature
function fee(uint256) external;
Description
Sets block.basefee
.
Examples
vm.fee(25 gwei);
emit log_uint(block.basefee); // 25000000000
getBlockTimestamp
Signature
function getBlockTimestamp() external view returns (uint256 timestamp);
Description
Gets the current block.timestamp
. This is useful in cases where vm.warp
along with --via-ir
compilation is used, as block.timestamp
is assumed to be a constant during a transaction. This means that on every forge test, multiple calls to block.timestamp
would get optimized to just returning a constant value, instead of actually accessing the current block.timestamp
. vm.getBlockTimestamp()
avoids this optimization and returns the current block.timestamp
.
Examples
assertEq(vm.getBlockTimestamp(), 1, "timestamp should be 1");
vm.warp(10);
assertEq(vm.getBlockTimestamp(), 10, "warp failed");
getBlockNumber
Signature
function getBlockNumber() external view returns (uint256 timestamp);
Description
Gets the current block.number
. This is useful in cases where vm.roll
along with --via-ir
compilation is used, as block.number
is assumed to be a constant during a transaction. This means that on every forge test, multiple calls to block.number
would get optimized to just returning a constant value, instead of actually accessing the current block.number
. vm.getBlockNumber()
avoids this optimization and returns the current block.number
.
Examples
uint256 height = vm.getBlockNumber();
assertEq(height, uint256(block.number));
vm.roll(10);
assertEq(vm.getBlockNumber(), 10);
difficulty
Signature
function difficulty(uint256) external;
Description
Sets block.difficulty
.
If used with a post-merge EVM version (Paris and onwards), it will revert. In that case, use vm.prevrandao
instead.
Examples
vm.difficulty(25);
emit log_uint(block.difficulty); // 25
prevrandao
Signature
function prevrandao(bytes32) external;
Description
Sets block.prevrandao
.
If used with an EVM version previous to the Paris hard fork, it will revert. In that case, use vm.difficulty
instead.
Examples
vm.prevrandao(bytes32(uint256(42)));
emit log_uint(block.prevrandao); // 42
chainId
Signature
function chainId(uint256) external;
Description

etch
Signature
function etch(address who, bytes calldata code) external;
Description
Sets the bytecode of an address who
to code
.
Examples
bytes memory code = address(awesomeContract).code;
address targetAddr = makeAddr("target");
vm.etch(targetAddr, code);
log_bytes(address(targetAddr).code); // 0x6080604052348015610010...
Using vm.etch
for enabling custom precompiles
Some chains, like Blast or Arbitrum, run with custom precompiles. Foundry is operating on vanilla EVM and is not aware of those. If you are encountering reverts due to not available precompile, you can use vm.etch
cheatcode to inject mock of the missing precompile to the address it is expected to appear at.
pragma solidity 0.8.10;
import {Test} from "forge-std/Test.sol";
// Firstly, we implement a mock emulating the actual precompile behavior
contract YieldMock {
address private constant blastContract = 0x4300000000000000000000000000000000000002;
mapping(address => uint8) public getConfiguration;
function configure(address contractAddress, uint8 flags) external returns (uint256) {
require(msg.sender == blastContract);
getConfiguration[contractAddress] = flags;
return 0;
}
function claim(address, address, uint256) external pure returns (uint256) {
return 0;
}
function getClaimableAmount(address) external pure returns (uint256) {
return 0;
}
}
contract SomeBlastTest is Test {
function setUp() public {
vm.createSelectFork("blastRpcUrl");
// Deploy mock of the precompile
YieldMock yieldMock = new YieldMock();
// Set mock bytecode to the expected precompile address
vm.etch(0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000100, address(yieldMock).code);
}
function testSomething() public {
// Now we can interact with Blast contracts without reverts
}
}
Injecting mocks of precompiles might be tricky as such mocks will not fully emulate the actual precompile behavior on-chain.
Mock in the case above will not cause the actual yield to be accrued if any yield mode is configured.

mockCall
Signature
function mockCall(address where, bytes calldata data, bytes calldata retdata) external;
function mockCall(
address where,
uint256 value,
bytes calldata data,
bytes calldata retdata
) external;
Description
Mocks all calls to an address where
if the call data either strictly or loosely matches data
and returns retdata
.
When a call is made to where
the call data is first checked to see if it matches in its entirety with data
.
If not, the call data is checked to see if there is a partial match, with the match starting at the first byte of the call data.
If a match is found, then retdata
is returned from the call.
Using the second signature we can mock the calls with a specific msg.value
. Calldata
match takes precedence over msg.value
in case of ambiguity.
Mocked calls are in effect until clearMockedCalls
is called.
ℹ️ Note
Calls to mocked addresses may revert if there is no code on the address. This is because Solidity inserts an
extcodesize
check before some contract calls.To circumvent this, use the
etch
cheatcode if the mocked address has no code.
ℹ️ Internal calls
This cheatcode does not currently work on internal calls. See issue #432.
Examples
Mocking an exact call:
function testMockCall() public {
vm.mockCall(
address(0),

Example public example;
function setUp() public {
example = new Example();
}
function testMockPublicVariable() public {
assertEq(example.number(), 10);

Description
Mocks all calls to an address where
if the call data either strictly or loosely
matches data
and returns different data for each call based on the retdata
array values.
See mockCall
for more information on mocking calls and
matching precedence.
ℹ️ Note
Any invocation of the mocked call beyond the number of elements in
retdata
will receive the lastretdata
element in response.clearMockedCalls
can be called to clear the mock
Examples
Mocking multiple balanceOf(address)
calls:

bytes[] memory mocks = new bytes[](2);
mocks[0] = abi.encode(2 ether);

Mocking multiple calls with msg.value
:
function testMockCallsWithMsgValue() public {

and returns retdata
.
retdata
can be a raw return message or a custom error.
When a call is made to where
the call data is first checked to see if it matches in its entirety with data
.
If not, the call data is checked to see if there is a partial match, with the match starting at the first byte of the call data.
If a match is found, then the call is reverted and retdata
is returned.
Using the second signature we can mock the calls with a specific msg.value
. Calldata
match takes precedence over msg.value
in case of ambiguity.
Reverted mock calls are in effect until clearMockedCalls
is called.
ℹ️ Internal calls
This cheatcode does not currently work on internal calls. See issue #432.
Examples
Reverting an exact call with a raw error message:

Description
Executes calls to an address callee
with bytecode of address target
if the call data either strictly or loosely matches data
.
When a call is made to callee
the call data is first checked to see if it matches in its entirety with data
.
If not, the call data is checked to see if there is a partial match on function selector.
If a match is found, then call is executed using the bytecode of target
address.
ℹ️ Isolated tests
This cheatcode does not currently work if using isolated test mode.
Examples
For two contracts (with same storage layout):
contract Counter {
uint256 public a;
function count(uint256 x) public {
a = 321 + x;
}
}
contract ModelCounter {

}
pauseGasMetering
Signature
function pauseGasMetering() external;
Description
Pauses gas metering (i.e. gasleft()
does not decrease as operations are executed).
This can be useful for getting a better sense of gas costs, by turning off gas metering for unnecessary code, as well as long-running scripts that would otherwise run out of gas.
ℹ️ Note
pauseGasMetering
turns off DoS protections that come from metering gas usage.Exposing a service that assumes a particular instance of the EVM will complete due to gas usage no longer is true, and a timeout should be enabled in that case.

bool reverted;
}
function stopAndReturnStateDiff() external returns (AccountAccess[] memory accesses);
Description
Retrieves state changes recorded after a call to startStateDiffRecording
. This function will consume the recorded state diffs when called and disable state diff recording. One may call startStateDiffRecording
to resume recording.
There are two types of state change records; account accesses and storage accesses represented as AccountAccess
and StorageAccess
.
Account state changes (AccountAccess
) are recorded at the start of a new EVM context; i.e. induced by the various CREATE, CALL and SELFDESTRUCT operations.
An AccountAccess
record contain storage accesses, represented as StorageAccess
, that occurred before it was preempted via sub-calls or create operations.
The ordering of AccountAccess
records reflect the EVM execution order of their associated operations. An AccountAccess
is created whenever an EVM context is created or resumed.
If a sub-context is created, a Resume
AccountAccess
is recorded to indicate that a previous AccountAccess
that was pre-empted has been resumed.
AccountAccessKind
The kind of account access that determines the account
that was accessed. This is typically designated by the EVM operation that initiated the account’s execution context.
If kind is Call
, DelegateCall
, StaticCall
or CallCode
, then the account
is the callee.
If kind is Create, then the account is the newly created account.
If kind is SelfDestruct, then the account is the selfdestruct recipient.
If kind is a Resume, then account represents an execution context that had resumed.

. In the case of anAccountAccessKind.SelfDestruct
, it’s the selfdestruct recipient. For all other types ofAccountAccessKind
, it’s the account of the current EVM context.accessor
- What accessedaccount
. That is either the account creator, caller or the account being selfdestructed.initialized
- If the account was initialized or empty prior to the access. An account is considered initialized if it has code, a non-zero nonce, or a non-zero balance.oldBalance
: The previous balance of the accessedaccount
.newBalance
- The potential new balance of the accessed account. That is, all balance changes are recorded here, even if reverts occurred.deployedCode
- Code of theaccount
deployed in the case ofAccountAccessKind.Create
. This field is empty For all other account access kinds.value
- The value passed along with the account access.data
- Input data provided (i.e.msg.data
) in the case of aCREATE
orCALL
type access.reverted
- If this access reverted in either the current or parent context.storageAccesses
- An ordered list of storage accesses made while the account access is non-preemptive.depth
- Call depth traversed during the recording of state differences.
StorageAccess
The storage accesses made during an AccountAccess
. StorageAccess
cannot exist without an associated AccountAccess
. This means that when state diffs begins on the given context, storage accesses made during that context are not recorded as the context (but not its sub-contexts) isn’t recorded.
StorageAccess
contains the following fields:
account
- A account whose storage was accessedslot
- The slot that was accessedisWrite
- If the access was a writepreviousValue
- The value of the slot prior to this storage accessnewValue
- The value of the slot after this storage accessreverted
- If this access was reverted
Resumed AccountAccess
This type of AccountAccess is generated when a sub-context returns to its parent context. It retains the same values as the original context, including accessor
, account
, initialized
, storageAccesses
, and reverted
.
The following control flow table illustrate how Resume AccountAccesses are recorded.
Step in Contract A’s alpha() | Step in Contract B’s beta() | AccountAccess Records State |
---|---|---|
Call A.alpha() | [A.call] | |
Access state | [A.call[A.access]] | |
Call B.beta() | B.beta() begins | [A.call[A.access], B.call] |
(Execution Paused) | Access state | [A.call[A.access], B.call[B.access]] |
Return | ||
Resume execution | (Return to A.alpha()) | [A.call[A.access], B.call[B.access]] |
Access state | [ A.call[A.access], B.call[B.access], A.resume[A.access’] ] |
ℹ️ Note
A Resumed AccountAccess is created only if storage accesses occurred after a context was resumed.
Example: Recording storage state changes during a CREATE operation
contract Contract {
uint256 internal _reserved;
uint256 public data;
constructor(uint _data) payable { data = _data; }
}
vm.startStateDiffRecording();
Contract contract = new Contract{value: 1 ether}(100);
Vm.AccountAccess[] memory records = vm.stopAndReturnStateDiff();
assertEq(records.length, 1);
assertEq(records[0].kind, Vm.AccountAccessKind.Create);
assertEq(records[0].account, address(contract));
assertEq(records[0].accessor, address(this));
assertEq(records[0].initialized, true);
assertEq(records[0].oldBalance, 0);
assertEq(records[0].newBalance, 1 ether);
assertEq(records[0].deployedCode, address(contract).code);

assertEq(records[0].storageAccesses[0].newValue, bytes32(uint(100)));
assertEq(records[0].storageAccesses[0].reverted, false);
Note that there are no Resume
account accesses in this example.

Description
snapshotState
takes a snapshot of the state of the blockchain and returns the identifier of the created snapshot.
revertToState
reverts the state of the blockchain to the given state snapshot. This deletes the given snapshot, as well as any snapshots taken after (e.g.: reverting to id 2 will delete snapshots with ids 2, 3, 4, etc.).

Description
snapshotGas*
cheatcodes allow you to capture gas usage in your tests. This can be useful to track how much gas your logic is consuming. You can capture the gas usage of the last call by name, capture an arbitrary numerical value by name, or start and stop a snapshot capture of the current gas usage by name.
In order to strictly compare gas usage across test runs, set the FORGE_SNAPSHOT_CHECK
environment variable to true
before running your tests. This will compare the gas usage of your tests against the last snapshot and fail if the gas usage has changed. By default the snapshots directory will be newly created and its contents removed before each test run to ensure no stale data is present.
It is intended that the snapshots
directory created when using the snapshotGas*
cheatcodes is checked into version control. This allows you to track changes in gas usage over time and compare gas usage during code reviews.
When running forge clean
the snapshots
directory will be deleted.
Examples
Capturing the gas usage of a section of code that calls an external contract:
contract SnapshotGasTest is Test {
uint256 public slot0;
Flare public flare;
function setUp() public {
flare = new Flare();
}
function testSnapshotGas() public {
vm.startSnapshotGas("externalA");
flare.run(256);
uint256 gasUsed = vm.stopSnapshotGas();
}
}
Capturing the gas usage of multiple sections of code that modify the internal state:
contract SnapshotGasTest is Test {
uint256 public slot0;
/// Writes to `snapshots/SnapshotGasTest.json` group with name `internalA`, `internalB`, and `internalC`.
function testSnapshotGas() public {
vm.startSnapshotGas("internalA");
slot0 = 1;
vm.stopSnapshotGas();
vm.startSnapshotGas("internalB");
slot0 = 2;
vm.stopSnapshotGas();
vm.startSnapshotGas("internalC");
slot0 = 0;
vm.stopSnapshotGas();
}
}
Capturing the gas usage of a section of code that modifies both the internal state and calls an external contract:
contract SnapshotGasTest is Test {
uint256 public slot0;
Flare public flare;
function setUp() public {
flare = new Flare();
}
/// Writes to `snapshots/SnapshotGasTest.json` group with name `combinedA`.
function testSnapshotGas() public {
vm.startSnapshotGas("combinedA");
flare.run(256);
slot0 = 1;
vm.stopSnapshotGas();
}
}
Capturing an arbitrary numerical value (such as the bytecode size of a contract):
```solidity
contract SnapshotGasTest is Test {
uint256 public slot0;
/// Writes to `snapshots/SnapshotGasTest.json` group with name `valueA`, `valueB`, and `valueC`.
function testSnapshotValue() public {
uint256 a = 123;
uint256 b = 456;
uint256 c = 789;
vm.snapshotValue("valueA", a);
vm.snapshotValue("valueB", b);
vm.snapshotValue("valueC", c);
}
}
Capturing the gas usage of the last call from the callee perspective:
contract SnapshotGasTest is Test {
Flare public flare;
function setUp() public {
flare = new Flare();
}
/// Writes to `snapshots/SnapshotGasTest.json` group with name `lastCallA`.
function testSnapshotGasLastCall() public {
flare.run(1);
vm.snapshotGasLastCall("lastCallA");
}
}
For each of the above examples you can also use the group
variant of the cheatcodes to group the snapshots together in a custom group.
contract SnapshotGasTest is Test {
uint256 public slot0;
/// Writes to `snapshots/CustomGroup.json` group with name `internalA`, `internalB`, and `internalC`.
function testSnapshotGas() public {
vm.startSnapshotGas("CustomGroup", "internalA");
slot0 = 1;
vm.stopSnapshotGas();
vm.startSnapshotGas("CustomGroup", "internalB");
slot0 = 2;
vm.stopSnapshotGas();
vm.startSnapshotGas("CustomGroup", "internalC");
slot0 = 0;
vm.stopSnapshotGas();
}
}
Assertions
expectRevert
Signature
function expectRevert() external;
function expectRevert(bytes4 message) external;
function expectRevert(bytes calldata message) external;
function expectPartialRevert(bytes4 message) external;
Description
If the next call does not revert with the expected data message
, then expectRevert
will.
After calling expectRevert
, calls to other cheatcodes before the reverting call are ignored.
This means, for example, we can call prank
immediately before the reverting call.
There are 3 signatures for expectRevert
:
- Without parameters: Asserts that the next call reverts, regardless of the message.
- With
bytes4
: Asserts that the next call reverts with the specified 4 bytes and exact match of revert data. - With
bytes
: Asserts that the next call reverts with the specified bytes.
and one signature for expectPartialRevert
:
bytes4
: Asserts that the next call reverts and the specified 4 bytes match the first 4 bytes of revert data.
ℹ️ Note:
Custom errors can have arguments that sometimes are difficult to calculate in a testing environment or they may be unrelated to the test at hand (e.g. a value computed in the internal function of a third-party contract). In such cases,
expectPartialRevert
can be used to ignore arguments and match only on the selector of custom error. For example, testing a function that reverts withWrongNumber(uint256 number)
custom error:function count() public { revert WrongNumber(0); }
should pass when using
expectPartialRevert
:vm.expectPartialRevert(Counter.WrongNumber.selector); counter.count();
but fails if exact match expected:
vm.expectRevert(Counter.WrongNumber.selector); counter.count();
⚠️ Gotcha: Usage with low-level calls
Normally, a call that succeeds returns a status of
true
(along with any return data) and a call that reverts returnsfalse
.The Solidity compiler will insert checks that ensures that the call succeeded, and revert if it did not.
On low level calls, the
expectRevert
cheatcode works by making thestatus
boolean returned by the low level call correspond to whether theexpectRevert
succeeded or not, NOT whether or not the low-level call succeeds. Therefore,status
being false corresponds to the cheatcode failing.Apart from this,
expectRevert
also mangles return data on low level calls, and is not usable.See the following example. For clarity,
status
has been renamed torevertsAsExpected
:function testLowLevelCallRevert() public { vm.expectRevert(bytes("error message")); (bool revertsAsExpected, ) = address(myContract).call(myCalldata); assertTrue(revertsAsExpected, "expectRevert: call did not revert"); }
Examples
To use expectRevert
with a string
, pass it as a string literal.
vm.expectRevert("error message");
To use expectRevert
with a custom error type without parameters, use its selector.
vm.expectRevert(CustomError.selector);
To use expectRevert
with a custom error type with parameters, ABI encode the error type.
vm.expectRevert(
abi.encodeWithSelector(CustomError.selector, 1, 2)
);
If you need to assert that a function reverts without a message, you can do so with expectRevert(bytes(""))
.
function testExpectRevertNoReason() public {
Reverter reverter = new Reverter();
vm.expectRevert(bytes(""));
reverter.revertWithoutReason();
}
Message-less reverts happen when there is an EVM error, such as when the transaction consumes more than the block’s gas limit.
If you need to assert that a function reverts a four character message, e.g. AAAA
, you can do so with:
function testFourLetterMessage() public {
vm.expectRevert(bytes("AAAA"));
}
If used expectRevert("AAAA")
, the compiler would throw an error because it wouldn’t know which overload to use.
Finally, you can also have multiple expectRevert()
checks in a single test.
function testMultipleExpectReverts() public {
vm.expectRevert("INVALID_AMOUNT");
vault.send(user, 0);
vm.expectRevert("INVALID_ADDRESS");
vault.send(address(0), 200);
}
To use expectPartialRevert
with a custom error type, use its selector.
vm.expectRevert(CustomError.selector);

expectEmit
Signature
function expectEmit() external;
function expectEmit(
bool checkTopic1,
bool checkTopic2,
bool checkTopic3,
bool checkData
) external;
function expectEmit(address emitter) external;
function expectEmit(
bool checkTopic1,
bool checkTopic2,
bool checkTopic3,
bool checkData,
address emitter
) external;
Description
Assert a specific log is emitted during the next call.
- Call the cheat code, specifying whether we should check the first, second or third topic, and the log data (
expectEmit()
checks them all). Topic 0 is always checked. - Emit the event we are supposed to see during the next call.
- Perform the call.
You can perform steps 1 and 2 multiple times to match a sequence of events in the next call.
If the event is not available in the current scope (e.g. if we are using an interface, or an external smart contract), we can define the event ourselves with an identical event signature.
There are 2 varieties of expectEmit
:
- Without checking the emitter address: Asserts the topics match without checking the emitting address.
- With
address
: Asserts the topics match and that the emitting address matches.
ℹ️ Matching sequences
In functions that emit a lot of events, it’s possible to “skip” events and only match a specific sequence, but this sequence must always be in order. As an example, let’s say a function emits events:
A, B, C, D, E, F, F, G
.
expectEmit
will be able to match ranges with and without skipping events in between:
[A, B, C]
is valid.[B, D, F]
is valid.[G]
or any other single event combination is valid.[B, A]
or similar out-of-order combinations are invalid (events must be in order).[C, F, F]
is valid.[F, F, C]
is invalid (out of order).
Examples
This does not check the emitting address.
event Transfer(address indexed from, address indexed to, uint256 amount);
function testERC20EmitsTransfer() public {
vm.expectEmit();
// We emit the event we expect to see.
emit MyToken.Transfer(address(this), address(1), 10);
// We perform the call.
myToken.transfer(address(1), 10);
}
This does check the emitting address.
event Transfer(address indexed from, address indexed to, uint256 amount);
function testERC20EmitsTransfer() public {
// We check that the token is the event emitter by passing the address.
vm.expectEmit(address(myToken));
emit MyToken.Transfer(address(this), address(1), 10);
// We perform the call.
myToken.transfer(address(1), 10);
}
We can also assert that multiple events are emitted in a single call.
function testERC20EmitsBatchTransfer() public {
// We declare multiple expected transfer events
for (uint256 i = 0; i < users.length; i++) {
// Here we use the longer signature for demonstration purposes. This call checks
// topic0 (always checked), topic1 (true), topic2 (true), NOT topic3 (false), and data (true).
vm.expectEmit(true, true, false, true);
emit Transfer(address(this), users[i], 10);
}
// We also expect a custom `BatchTransfer(uint256 numberOfTransfers)` event.
vm.expectEmit(false, false, false, true);
emit BatchTransfer(users.length);
// We perform the call.
myToken.batchTransfer(users, 10);
}
This example fails, as the expected event is not emitted on the next call.
event Transfer(address indexed from, address indexed to, uint256 amount);
function testERC20EmitsTransfer() public {
// We check that the token is the event emitter by passing the address as the fifth argument.
vm.expectEmit(true, true, false, true, address(myToken));
emit MyToken.Transfer(address(this), address(1), 10);
// We perform an unrelated call that won't emit the intended event,
// making the cheatcode fail.
myToken.approve(address(this), 1e18);
// We perform the call, but it will have no effect as the cheatcode has already failed.
myToken.transfer(address(1), 10);
}
expectCall
function expectCall(address callee, bytes calldata data) external;
function expectCall(address callee, bytes calldata data, uint64 count) external;
function expectCall(
address callee,
uint256 value,
bytes calldata data
) external;
function expectCall(
address callee,
uint256 value,
bytes calldata data,
uint64 count
) external;
Description
Expects a call to a specified address callee
, where the call data either strictly or loosely matches data
. The cheatcode can be called in two ways:
- If no
count
parameter is specified, the call will be expected to be made at least the amount of times the cheatcode was called. For the same calldata, you cannot call the cheatcode with nocount
and then pass in acount
parameter. - If
count
is specified, the call will be expected to be made strictlycount
times. For the same calldata, thecount
value cannot be overwritten with another cheatcode call, nor it can be increment by calling the cheatcode without acount
parameter.
count
can also be set to 0 to assert that a call is not made.
When a call is made to callee
the call data is first checked to see if it matches in its entirety with data
. If not, the call data is checked to see if there is a partial match, with the match starting at the first byte of the call data.
Using the second signature we can also check if the call was made with the expected msg.value
.
If the test terminates without the call being made, the test fails.
ℹ️ Internal calls
This cheatcode does not currently work on internal calls. See issue #432.
Examples
Expect that transfer
is called on a token MyToken
one time:
address alice = makeAddr("alice");
emit log_address(alice);
vm.expectCall(
address(token), abi.encodeCall(token.transfer, (alice, 10))
);
token.transfer(alice, 10);
// [PASS]
Expect that transfer
is called on a token MyToken
at least two times:
address alice = makeAddr("alice");
emit log_address(alice);
vm.expectCall(
address(token), abi.encodeCall(token.transfer, (alice, 10))
);
vm.expectCall(
address(token), abi.encodeCall(token.transfer, (alice, 10))
);
token.transfer(alice, 10);
token.transfer(alice, 10);
token.transfer(alice, 10);
// [PASS]
Expect that transfer
is not called on a token MyToken
:
address alice = makeAddr("alice");
emit log_address(alice);
vm.expectCall(
address(token), abi.encodeCall(token.transfer, (alice, 10)), 0
);
token.transferFrom(alice, address(0), 10);
// [PASS]
Expect that transfer
with any calldata is called on a token MyToken
2 times:
address alice = makeAddr("alice");
emit log_address(alice);
vm.expectCall(
address(token), abi.encodeWithSelector(token.transfer.selector), 2
);
token.transfer(alice, 10);
token.transfer(alice, 10);
// [PASS]
Expect that pay
is called on a Contract
with a specific msg.value
and calldata
:
Contract target = new Contract();
vm.expectCall(
address(target),
1,
abi.encodeWithSelector(target.pay.selector, 2)
);
target.pay{value: 1}(2);
// [PASS]
Expect that pay
is called on a Contract
with a specific msg.value
and calldata
3 times:
Contract target = new Contract();
vm.expectCall(
address(target),
1,
abi.encodeWithSelector(target.pay.selector, 2),
3
);
target.pay{value: 1}(2);
target.pay{value: 1}(2);
target.pay{value: 1}(2);
// [PASS]
Fuzzer
assume
Signature
function assume(bool) external;
Description
If the boolean expression evaluates to false, the fuzzer will discard the current fuzz inputs and start a new fuzz run.
The assume
cheatcode should mainly be used for very narrow checks.
Broad checks will slow down tests as it will take a while to find valid values, and the test may fail if you hit the max number of rejects.
You can configure the rejection thresholds by setting fuzz.max_test_rejects
in your foundry.toml
file.
For broad checks, such as ensuring a uint256
falls within a certain range, you can bound your input with the modulo operator or Forge Standard’s bound
method.
More information on filtering via assume
can be found here.
Examples
// Good example of using assume
function testSomething(uint256 a) public {
vm.assume(a != 1);
require(a != 1);
// [PASS]
}
// In this case assume is not a great fit, so you should bound inputs manually
function testSomethingElse(uint256 a) public {
a = bound(a, 100, 1e36);
require(a >= 100 && a <= 1e36);
// [PASS]
}
SEE ALSO
Forge Standard Library
assumeNoRevert
Signature
function assumeNoRevert() external;
Description
The fuzzer will discard the current fuzz inputs and start a new fuzz run if next call reverted.
The test may fail if you hit the max number of rejects.
You can configure the rejection thresholds by setting [fuzz.max_test_rejects
][max-test-rejects] in your foundry.toml
file.
Examples
For a function that requires an amount in certain range:
function doSomething(uint256 amount) public {
require(amount > 100 ether && amount < 1_000 ether);
}
reverts are discarded, resulting in test pass (or fail if max number of rejects hit):
function testSomething(uint256 amount) public {
vm.assumeNoRevert();
target.doSomething(amount);
// [PASS]
}

Signature
// Creates a new fork with the given endpoint and the _latest_ block and returns the identifier of the fork
function createFork(string calldata urlOrAlias) external returns (uint256)
// Creates a new fork with the given endpoint and block and returns the identifier of the fork
function createFork(string calldata urlOrAlias, uint256 block) external returns (uint256);
// Creates a new fork with the given endpoint and at the block the given transaction was mined in, and replays all transaction mined in the block before the transaction
function createFork(string calldata urlOrAlias, bytes32 transaction) external returns (uint256);
Description
Creates a new fork from the given endpoint and returns the identifier of the fork. If a block number is passed as an argument, the fork will begin on that block, otherwise it will begin on the latest block.
If a transaction hash is provided, it will roll the fork to the block the transaction was mined in and replays all previously executed transactions.

makePersistent
Signature
function makePersistent(address account) external;
function makePersistent(address account0, address account1) external;
function makePersistent(address account0, address account1, address account2) external;
function makePersistent(address[] calldata accounts) external;
Description
Each fork (createFork
) has its own independent storage, which is also replaced when another fork is selected (selectFork
).
By default, only the test contract account and the caller are persistent across forks, which means that changes to the state of the test contract (variables) are preserved when different forks are selected. This way data can be shared by storing it in the contract’s variables.
However, with this cheatcode, it is possible to mark the specified accounts as persistent, which means that their state is available regardless of which fork is currently active.
Examples
Mark a new contract as persistent
contract SimpleStorageContract {
string public value;
function set(uint256 _value) public {
value = _value;
}
}
function testMarkPersistent() public {
// by default the `sender` and the contract itself are persistent
assert(cheats.isPersistent(msg.sender));
assert(cheats.isPersistent(address(this)));
// select a specific fork
cheats.selectFork(mainnetFork);
// create a new contract that's stored in the `mainnetFork` storage
SimpleStorageContract simple = new SimpleStorageContract();
// `simple` is not marked as persistent
assert(!cheats.isPersistent(address(simple)));
// contract can be used
uint256 expectedValue = 99;
simple.set(expectedValue);
assertEq(simple.value(), expectedValue);
// mark as persistent
cheats.makePersistent(address(simple));
// select a different fork
cheats.selectFork(optimismFork);
// ensure contract is still persistent
assert(cheats.isPersistent(address(simple)));
// value is set as expected
assertEq(simple.value(), expectedValue);
}

allowCheatcodes
Signature
function allowCheatcodes(address) external;
Description
In forking mode, explicitly grant the given address cheatcode access.
By default, the test contract, and its deployer are allowed to access cheatcodes. In addition to that, cheat code access is granted if the contract was deployed by an address that already has cheatcode access. This will prevent cheatcode access from accounts already deployed on the forked network.
ℹ️ Note
This is only useful for more complex test setups in forking mode.

Examples
Enter forking mode and execute a transaction:
// Enter forking mode at block: https://etherscan.io/block/15596646
uint256 fork = vm.createFork(MAINNET_RPC_URL, 15596646);

ffi
Signature
function ffi(string[] calldata) external returns (bytes memory);
Description
Calls an arbitrary command if ffi
is enabled.
It is generally advised to use this cheat code as a last resort, and to not enable it by default, as anyone who can change the tests of a project will be able to execute arbitrary commands on devices that run the tests.
Tips
- By default the
ffi
cheatcode assumes the output of the command is a hex encoded value (e.g. a hex string of an ABI encoded value). If hex decoding fails, it will return the output as UTF8 bytes that you can cast to a string. - Make sure that the output does not include a
\n
newline character. (e.g in Rust useprint!
vsprintln!
) - Remember that the script will be executed from the top-level directory of your project, not inside
test
- Make sure that the inputs array does not have empty elements. They will be handled as inputs by the script, instead of space
- Use the cheatcode
toString
to easily convert arbitrary data to strings, so that you can pass them as command-line arguments
Examples
ABI encoded output
string[] memory inputs = new string[](3);
inputs[0] = "echo";
inputs[1] = "-n";
// ABI encoded "gm", as a hex string
inputs[2] = "0x00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000200000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000002676d000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000";
bytes memory res = vm.ffi(inputs);
string memory output = abi.decode(res, (string));
assertEq(output, "gm");
UTF8 string output
string[] memory inputs = new string[](3);
inputs[0] = "echo";
inputs[1] = "-n";
inputs[2] = "gm";
bytes memory res = vm.ffi(inputs);
assertEq(string(res), "gm");
prompt
Signature
function prompt(string calldata promptText) external returns (string memory input);
function promptSecret(string calldata promptText) external returns (string memory input);
function promptSecretUint(string calldata promptText) external returns (uint256);
Description
Display an interactive prompt to the user for inserting arbitrary data.
vm.prompt
displays an interactive input, while vm.promptSecret
& vm.promptSecretUint
display a
hidden input, used for passwords and other secret information that should not
leak to the terminal.
ℹ️ Note
This cheatcode is meant to be used in scripts ― not tests. It is also advised to follow the best practices below for testing scripts that use
vm.prompt
and handling timeouts, since scripts might otherwise hang or revert. This cheatcode reverts when running in a non-interactive shell.
Configuration
In order to prevent unwanted hangups, vm.prompt
has a timeout configuration.
In your foundry.toml
:
prompt_timeout = 120
Default value is 120
and values are in seconds.
Best practices
Testing scripts that use vm.prompt
When testing scripts containing vm.prompt
it is recommended to use the
following pattern:
contract Script {
function run() public {
uint256 myUint = vm.parseUint(vm.prompt("enter uint"));
run(myUint);
}
function run(uint256 myUint) public {
// actual logic
}
}
That way, we are keeping the UX gain (don’t have to provide --sig
argument
when running the script), but tests can set any value to myUint
and not just
a hardcoded default.
Handling timeouts
When a user fails to provide an input before the timeout expires, the
vm.prompt
cheatcode reverts. If you’d like, timeouts can be handled by using
try/catch
:
string memory input;
try vm.prompt("Username") returns (string memory res) {
input = res;
}
catch (bytes memory) {
input = "Anonymous";
}
Examples
Choose RPC endpoint
Provide an option to choose the RPC/chain to run on.
In your foundry.toml
file:
[rpc_endpoints]
mainnet = "https://eth.llamarpc.com"
polygon = "https://polygon.llamarpc.com"
In your script:
string memory rpcEndpoint = vm.prompt("RPC endpoint");
vm.createSelectFork(rpcEndpoint);
Parse user input into native types
We can use the string parsing cheatcodes to parse the responses from users:
uint privateKey = vm.promptSecretUint("Private key");
address to = vm.parseAddress(vm.prompt("Send to"));
uint amount = vm.parseUint(vm.prompt("Amount (wei)"));
vm.broadcast(privateKey);
payable(to).transfer(amount);
projectRoot
Signature
function projectRoot() external returns (string memory);
Description
Returns the root directory of the current Foundry project.
getCode
Signature
function getCode(string calldata) external returns (bytes memory);
Description
Returns the creation bytecode for a contract in the project given the path to the contract.
The calldata parameter can either be in the form ContractFile.sol
(if the filename and contract name are the same), ContractFile.sol:ContractName
, or the path to an artifact, relative to the root of your project.
ℹ️ Note
getCode
requires read permission for the output directory, see file cheatcodes.To grant read access set
fs_permissions = [{ access = "read", path = "./out"}]
in yourfoundry.toml
.
Examples
MyContract myContract = new MyContract(arg1, arg2);
// Let's do the same thing with `getCode`
bytes memory args = abi.encode(arg1, arg2);
bytes memory bytecode = abi.encodePacked(vm.getCode("MyContract.sol:MyContract"), args);
address anotherAddress;
assembly {
anotherAddress := create(0, add(bytecode, 0x20), mload(bytecode))
}
assertEq0(address(myContract).code, anotherAddress.code); // [PASS]
Deploy a contract to an arbitrary address by combining getCode
and etch
// Deploy
bytes memory args = abi.encode(arg1, arg2);
bytes memory bytecode = abi.encodePacked(vm.getCode("MyContract.sol:MyContract"), args);
address deployed;
assembly {
deployed := create(0, add(bytecode, 0x20), mload(bytecode))
}
// Set the bytecode of an arbitrary address
vm.etch(targetAddr, deployed.code);
Supported formats
You can fetch artifacts by either contract path or contract name. Fetching artifacts for a specific version is also supported. If not provided, cheatcode will default to the version of a test being executed or the only version artifact was compiled with.
vm.getCode("MyContract.sol:MyContract");
vm.getCode("MyContract");
vm.getCode("MyContract.sol:0.8.18");
vm.getCode("MyContract:0.8.18");

getDeployedCode
Signature
function getDeployedCode(string calldata) external returns (bytes memory);
Description
This cheatcode works similar to getCode
but only returns the deployed bytecode (aka runtime
bytecode) for a contract in the project given the path to the contract.
The main use case for this cheat code is as a shortcut to deploy stateless contracts to arbitrary addresses.
The calldata parameter can either be in the form ContractFile.sol
(if the filename and contract name are the same)
, ContractFile.sol:ContractName
, or the path to an artifact, relative to the root of your project.
ℹ️ Note
getDeployedCode
requires read permission for the output directory, see file cheatcodes.To grant read access set
fs_permissions = [{ access = "read", path = "./out"}]
in yourfoundry.toml
.
Examples
Deploy a stateless contract at an arbitrary address using getDeployedCode
and etch
.
// A stateless contract that we want deployed at a specific address
contract Override {
event Payload(address sender, address target, bytes data);
function emitPayload(
address target, bytes calldata message
) external payable returns (uint256) {
emit Payload(msg.sender, target, message);
return 0;
}
}
// get the **deployedBytecode**
bytes memory code = vm.getDeployedCode("Override.sol:Override");
// set the code of an arbitrary address
address overrideAddress = address(64);
vm.etch(overrideAddress, code);
assertEq(overrideAddress.code, code);
Supported formats
You can fetch artifacts by either contract path or contract name. Fetching artifacts for a specific version is also supported. If not provided, cheatcode will default to the version of a test being executed or the only version artifact was compiled with.
vm.getDeployedCode("MyContract.sol:MyContract");

sleep
Signature
function sleep(uint256 milliseconds) external;
Description
Sleeps for a given amount of milliseconds.
Examples
vm.sleep(10_000); // Halts execution for 10 seconds
unixTime
Signature
function unixTime() external returns (uint milliseconds);
Description
Returns the time since unix epoch in milliseconds.
Examples
uint start = vm.unixTime();
vm.sleep(10_000); // Halts execution for 10 seconds
uint end = vm.unixTime();
assertEq(end - start, 10_000);
setEnv
Signature
function setEnv(string calldata key, string calldata value) external;
Description
Set an environment variable key=value
.
ℹ️ Note
Environment variables set by a process are only accessible by itself and its child processes. Thus, calling
setEnv
will only modify environment variables of the currently runningforge
process, and won’t affect the shell (forge
’s parent process), i.e., the they won’t persist after theforge
process exit.
Tips
- The environment variable key can’t be empty.
- The environment variable key can’t contain the equal sign
=
or the NUL character\0
. - The environment variable value can’t contain the NUL character
\0
.
Examples
string memory key = "hello";
string memory val = "world";
cheats.setEnv(key, val);
envOr
Signature
function envOr(string calldata key, bool defaultValue) external returns (bool value);
function envOr(string calldata key, uint256 defaultValue) external returns (uint256 value);
function envOr(string calldata key, int256 defaultValue) external returns (int256 value);
function envOr(string calldata key, address defaultValue) external returns (address value);
function envOr(string calldata key, bytes32 defaultValue) external returns (bytes32 value);
function envOr(string calldata key, string calldata defaultValue) external returns (string memory value);
function envOr(string calldata key, bytes calldata defaultValue) external returns (bytes memory value);
function envOr(string calldata key, string calldata delimiter, bool[] calldata defaultValue) external returns (bool[] memory value);
function envOr(string calldata key, string calldata delimiter, uint256[] calldata defaultValue) external returns (uint256[] memory value);
function envOr(string calldata key, string calldata delimiter, int256[] calldata defaultValue) external returns (int256[] memory value);
function envOr(string calldata key, string calldata delimiter, address[] calldata defaultValue) external returns (address[] memory value);
function envOr(string calldata key, string calldata delimiter, bytes32[] calldata defaultValue) external returns (bytes32[] memory value);
function envOr(string calldata key, string calldata delimiter, string[] calldata defaultValue) external returns (string[] memory value);
function envOr(string calldata key, string calldata delimiter, bytes[] calldata defaultValue) external returns (bytes[] memory value);
Description
A non-failing way to read an environment variable of any type: if the requested environment key does not exist, envOr()
will return a default value instead of reverting (works with arrays too).
The returned type is determined by the type of defaultValue
parameter passed.
Tips
- Use
envOr(key, defaultValue)
to read a single value - Use
envOr(key, delimiter, defaultValue[])
to read an array with delimiter - The parsing of the environment variable will be done according to the type of
defaultValue
(e.g. if the default value type isuint
- the environment variable will be also parsed asuint
) - Use explicit casting for literals to specify type of default variable:
uint(69)
will return anuint
butint(69)
will return anint
- Same with:
string("")
andbytes("")
- these will returnstring
andbytes
accordingly - Use dynamic arrays (
bool[]
) instead of fixed-size arrays (bool[4]
) when providing default values (only dynamic arrays are supported)
Examples
Single Value
If the environment variable FORK
is not set, you can specify it to be false
by default:
bool fork = vm.envOr("FORK", false);
or
address owner;
function setUp() {
owner = vm.envOr("OWNER", address(this));
}
Array
If the environment variable BAD_TOKENS
is not set, you can specify the default to be an empty array:
address[] badTokens;
function envBadTokens() public {
badTokens = vm.envOr("BAD_TOKENS", ",", badTokens);
}
or
function envBadTokens() public {
address[] memory defaultBadTokens = new address[](0);
address[] memory badTokens = vm.envOr("BAD_TOKENS", ",", defaultBadTokens);
}
envBool
Signature
function envBool(string calldata key) external returns (bool value);
function envBool(string calldata key, string calldata delimiter) external returns (bool[] memory values);
Description

or bool[]
.
Tips
- For
true
, use either “true” or “True” for the environment variable value. - For
false
, use either “false” or “False” for the environment variable value. - For arrays, you can specify the delimiter used to separate the values with the
delimiter

parseJson
Signature
// Return the value(s) that correspond to 'key'
vm.parseJson(string memory json, string memory key)
// Return the entire JSON file
vm.parseJson(string memory json);
Description
These cheatcodes are used to parse JSON files in the form of strings. Usually, it’s coupled with vm.readFile()
which returns an entire file in the form of a string.
You can use stdJson
from forge-std
, as a helper library for better UX.
The cheatcode accepts either a key
to search for a specific value in the JSON, or no key to return the entire JSON. It returns the value as an abi-encoded bytes
array. That means that you will have to abi.decode()
to the appropriate type for it to function properly, else it will revert
.
JSONpath Key
parseJson
uses a syntax called JSONpath to form arbitrary keys for arbitrary JSON files. The same syntax (or rather a dialect) is used by the tool
jq
.
To read more about the syntax, you can visit the README of the rust library that we use under the hood to implement the feature. That way you can be certain that you are using the correct dialect of jsonPath.
JSON Encoding Rules
We use the terms number
, string
, object
, array
, boolean
, null
as they are defined in the JSON spec.
Encoding Rules
null
is encoded asbytes32(0)
- Numbers >= 0 are encoded as
uint256
- Negative numbers are encoded as
int256
- Floating point numbers with decimal digitals are not allowed.
- Floating point numbers using the scientific notation can be
uint256
orint256
depending on the value. - A string that can be decoded into a type of
H160
and starts with0x
is encoded as anaddress
. In other words, if it can be decoded into an address, it’s probably an address - A string that starts with
0x
is encoded asbytes32
if it has a length of66
or else tobytes
- A string that is neither an
address
, abytes32
orbytes
, is encoded as astring
- An array is encoded as a dynamic array of the type of its first element
- An object (
{}
) is encoded as atuple
Type Coercion
As described above, parseJson
needs to deduce the type of JSON value and that has some inherent limitations. For that reason, there is a sub-family of parseJson*
cheatcodes that coerce the type of the returned value.
For example vm.parseJsonUint(json, key)
will coerce the value to a uint256
. That means that it can parse all the following values and return them as a uint256
. That includes a number as type number
, a stringified number as a string
and of course it’s hex representation.
{
"hexUint": "0x12C980",
"stringUint": "115792089237316195423570985008687907853269984665640564039457584007913129639935",
"numberUint": 115792089237316195423570985008687907853269984665640564039457584007913129639935
}
Similarly, there are cheatcodes for all types (including bytes
and bytes32
) and their arrays (vm.parseJsonUintArray
).
Decoding JSON objects into Solidity structs
JSON objects are encoded as tuples, and can be decoded via tuples or structs. That means that you can define a struct
in Solidity and it will decode the entire JSON object into that struct
.
For example:
The following JSON:
{
"a": 43,
"b": "sigma"
}
will be decoded into:
struct Json {
uint256 a;
string b;
}
As the values are returned as an abi-encoded tuple, the exact name of the attributes of the struct don’t need to match the names of the keys in the JSON. The above json file could also be decoded as:
struct Json {
uint256 apple;
string pineapple;
}
What matters is the alphabetical order. As the JSON object is an unordered data structure but the tuple is an ordered one, we had to somehow give order to the JSON. The easiest way was to order the keys by alphabetical order. That means that in order to decode the JSON object correctly, you will need to define attributes of the struct with types that correspond to the values of the alphabetical order of the keys of the JSON.
- The struct is interpreted serially. That means that the tuple’s first item will be decoded based on the first item of the struct definition (no alphabetical order).
- The JSON will parsed alphabetically, not serially.
- Note that this parsing uses Rust’s BTreeMap crate under the hood, meaning that uppercase and lowercase strings are treated differently. Uppercase characters precede lowercase in this lexicographical ordering, ie “Zebra” would precede “apple”.
Thus, the first (in alphabetical order) value of the JSON, will be abi-encoded and then tried to be abi-decoded, based on the type of the first attribute of the struct
.
The above JSON would not be able to be decoded with the struct below:
struct Json {
uint256 b;
uint256 a;
}
The reason is that it would try to decode the string "sigma"
as a uint. To be exact, it would be decoded, but it would result to a wrong number, since it would interpret the bytes incorrectly.
Another example, given the following JSON:
{
"apples": [
{
"sweetness": 7,
"sourness": 3,
"color": "Red"
},
{
"sweetness": 5,
"sourness": 5,
"color": "Green"
},
{
"sweetness": 9,
"sourness": 1,
"color": "Yellow"
}
],
"name": "Fresh Fruit"
}
And Solidity structs defined as follows:
struct Apple {
string color;
uint8 sourness;
uint8 sweetness;
}
struct FruitStall {
Apple[] apples;
string name;
}
One would decode the JSON as follows:
string memory root = vm.projectRoot();
string memory path = string.concat(root, "/src/test/fixtures/fruitstall.json");
string memory json = vm.readFile(path);
bytes memory data = vm.parseJson(json);
FruitStall memory fruitstall = abi.decode(data, (FruitStall));
// Logs: Welcome to Fresh Fruit
console2.log("Welcome to", fruitstall.name);
for (uint256 i = 0; i < fruitstall.apples.length; i++) {
Apple memory apple = fruitstall.apples[i];
// Logs:
// Color: Red, Sourness: 3, Sweetness: 7
// Color: Green, Sourness: 5, Sweetness: 5
// Color: Yellow, Sourness: 1, Sweetness: 9
console2.log(
"Color: %s, Sourness: %d, Sweetness: %d",
apple.color,
apple.sourness,
apple.sweetness
);
}
Decoding JSON Objects, a tip
If your JSON object has hex numbers
, they will be encoded as bytes. The way to decode them as uint
for better UX, is to define two struct
, one intermediary with the definition of these values as bytes
and then a final struct
that will be consumed by the user.
- Decode the JSON into the intermediary
struct
- Convert the intermediary struct to the final one, by converting the
bytes
touint
. We have a helper function inforge-std
to do this - Give the final
struct
to the user for consumption
How to use StdJson
- Import the library
import {stdJson} from "forge-std/StdJson.sol";
- Define its usage with
string
:using stdJson for string;
- If you want to parse simple values (numbers, address, etc.) use the helper functions
- If you want to parse entire JSON objects:
- Define the
struct
in Solidity. Make sure to follow the alphabetical order – it’s hard to debug - Use the
parseRaw()
helper function to return abi-encodedbytes
and then decode them to your struct
- Define the
string memory root = vm.projectRoot();
string memory path = string.concat(root, "/src/test/fixtures/broadcast.log.json");
string memory json = vm.readFile(path);
bytes memory transactionDetails = json.parseRaw(".transactions[0].tx");
RawTx1559Detail memory rawTxDetail = abi.decode(transactionDetails, (RawTx1559Detail));
Forge script artifacts
We have gone ahead and created a handful of helper struct and functions to read the artifacts from broadcasting a forge script.
Currently, we only support artifacts produced by EIP1559-compatible chains and we don’t support yet the parsing of the entire broadcast.json
artifact. You will need to parse for individual values such as the transactions
, the receipts
, etc.
To read the transactions, it’s as easy as doing:
function testReadEIP1559Transactions() public {
string memory root = vm.projectRoot();
string memory path = string.concat(root, "/src/test/fixtures/broadcast.log.json");
Tx1559[] memory transactions = readTx1559s(path);
}
and then you can access their various fields in these structs:
struct Tx1559 {
string[] arguments;
address contractAddress;
string contractName;
string functionSig;
bytes32 hash;
Tx1559Detail txDetail;
string opcode;
}
struct Tx1559Detail {
AccessList[] accessList;
bytes data;
address from;
uint256 gas;
uint256 nonce;
address to;
uint256 txType;
uint256 value;
}

numberUint = 9223372036854775807 # TOML is limited to 64-bit integers
Similarly, there are cheatcodes for all types (including bytes
and bytes32
) and their arrays (vm.parseTomlUintArray
).
Decoding TOML tables into Solidity structs
TOML tables are converted to JSON objects. JSON objects are encoded as tuples, and can be decoded via tuples or structs. That means that you can define a struct
in Solidity and it will decode the entire JSON object into that struct
.
For example:
The following TOML:
a = 43
b = "sigma"
will be converted into the following JSON:
{
"a": 43,
"b": "sigma"
}
will be decoded into:
struct Json {
uint256 a;
string b;
}
As the values are returned as an abi-encoded tuple, the exact name of the attributes of the struct don’t need to match the names of the keys in the JSON. The above json file could also be decoded as:
struct Json {
uint256 apple;
string pineapple;
}
What matters is the alphabetical order. As the JSON object is an unordered data structure but the tuple is an ordered one, we had to somehow give order to the JSON. The easiest way was to order the keys by alphabetical order. That means that in order to decode the JSON object correctly, you will need to define attributes of the struct with types that correspond to the values of the alphabetical order of the keys of the JSON.
- The struct is interpreted serially. That means that the tuple’s first item will be decoded based on the first item of the struct definition (no alphabetical order).
- The JSON will parsed alphabetically, not serially.
- Note that this parsing uses Rust’s BTreeMap crate under the hood, meaning that uppercase and lowercase strings are treated differently. Uppercase characters precede lowercase in this lexicographical ordering, ie “Zebra” would precede “apple”.
Thus, the first (in alphabetical order) value of the JSON, will be abi-encoded and then tried to be abi-decoded, based on the type of the first attribute of the struct
.
The above TOML would not be able to be decoded with the struct below:
struct Json {
uint256 b;
uint256 a;
}
The reason is that it would try to decode the string "sigma"
as a uint. To be exact, it would be decoded, but it would result to a wrong number, since it would interpret the bytes incorrectly.
Another example, given the following TOML:
name = "Fresh Fruit"
[[apples]]
sweetness = 7
sourness = 3
color = "Red"
[[apples]]
sweetness = 5
sourness = 5
color = "Green"
[[apples]]
sweetness = 9
sourness = 1
color = "Yellow"
will be converted into the following JSON:
{
"apples": [
{
"sweetness": 7,
"sourness": 3,
"color": "Red"
},
{
"sweetness": 5,
"sourness": 5,
"color": "Green"
},
{
"sweetness": 9,
"sourness": 1,
"color": "Yellow"
}
],
"name": "Fresh Fruit"
}
And Solidity structs defined as follows:
struct Apple {
string color;
uint8 sourness;
uint8 sweetness;
}
struct FruitStall {
Apple[] apples;
string name;
}
One would decode the TOML as follows:
string memory root = vm.projectRoot();
string memory path = string.concat(root, "/src/test/fixtures/fruitstall.toml");
string memory toml = vm.readFile(path);
bytes memory data = vm.parseToml(toml);
FruitStall memory fruitstall = abi.decode(data, (FruitStall));
// Logs: Welcome to Fresh Fruit
console2.log("Welcome to", fruitstall.name);
for (uint256 i = 0; i < fruitstall.apples.length; i++) {
Apple memory apple = fruitstall.apples[i];
// Logs:
// Color: Red, Sourness: 3, Sweetness: 7
// Color: Green, Sourness: 5, Sweetness: 5
// Color: Yellow, Sourness: 1, Sweetness: 9
console2.log(
"Color: %s, Sourness: %d, Sweetness: %d",
apple.color,
apple.sourness,
apple.sweetness
);
}

Serializes values as a stringified JSON object.
How it works
The idea is that the user serializes the values of the JSON file and finally writes that object to a file. The user needs to pass:
- A key for the object to which the value should be serialized to. This enables the user to serialize multiple objects in parallel
- A key for the value which will be its key in the JSON file
- The value to be serialized
An exception to this is the serializeJson
function, which only receives an objectKey
and a json string value
. This allows the user to serialize an existing json object and directly assign it to the provided objectKey
. If the objectKey
is already in use, the whole serialized json is overwritten.
The keys do not need to be of some specific form. They are of type string
to enable for intuitive human interpretation. Semantically, they are not important other than to be used as keys.
The cheatcodes return the JSON object that is being serialized up to that point. That way the user can serialize inner JSON objects and then serialize them in bigger JSON objects, enabling the user to create arbitrary JSON objects.
Finally, the user writes the JSON object to a JSON file by using writeJson. Alternatively, the user can write the JSON object to TOML file by using writeToml.
Remember: The file path needs to be in the allowed paths. Read more in File cheatcodes.
Example
Let’s assume we want to write the following JSON to a file:
{ “boolean”: true, “number”: 342, “object”: { “title”: “finally json serialization” } }
string memory obj1 = "some key";
vm.serializeBool(obj1, "boolean", true);
vm.serializeUint(obj1, "number", uint256(342));
string memory obj2 = "some other key";
string memory output = vm.serializeString(obj2, "title", "finally json serialization");
// IMPORTANT: This works because `serializeString` first tries to interpret `output` as
// a stringified JSON object. If the parsing fails, then it treats it as a normal
// string instead.
// For instance, an `output` equal to '{ "ok": "asd" }' will produce an object, but
// an output equal to '"ok": "asd" }' will just produce a normal string.
string memory finalJson = vm.serializeString(obj1, "object", output);
vm.writeJson(finalJson, "./output/example.json");

writeJson
Signature
function writeJson(string calldata json, string calldata path) external;
function writeJson(string calldata json, string calldata path, string calldata valueKey) external;
Description
Writes a serialized JSON object to a file.
The argument json
must be a JSON object in stringified form. For example:
{ "boolean": true, "number": 342, "object": { "title": "finally json serialization" } }
This is usually built through serializeJson.
The argument path
is the path of the JSON file to write to.
If no valueKey
is provided, then the JSON object will be written to a new file. If the file already exists, it will be overwritten.
If a valueKey
is provided, then the file must already exist and be a valid JSON file. The object in that file will be updated by replacing the value at the JSON path valueKey
with the JSON object json
.
This is useful to replace some values in a JSON file without having to first parse and then reserialize it. Note that the JSON path must indicate an existing key, so it’s not possible to add new keys this way.
Remember: The file path path
needs to be in the allowed paths. Read more in File cheatcodes.
JSON Paths
Let’s consider the following JSON object:
{
"boolean": true,
"number": 342,
"obj1": {
"aNumber": 123,
"obj2": {
"aNumber": 123,
"obj3": {
"veryDeep": 13371337
}
}
}
}
The root object is always assumed, so we can refer to one of its children by starting the path with a dot (.
). For instance, .boolean
, .number
, and .obj1
.
We can go as deep as we want: .obj1.aNumber
, or .obj1.obj2.aNumber
.
We can even search for a key in a subtree: .obj1..veryDeep
, or just ..veryDeep
since there’s no ambiguity.
See the examples to see this in action.
Examples
A simple example
string memory jsonObj = '{ "boolean": true, "number": 342, "myObject": { "title": "finally json serialization" } }';
vm.writeJson(jsonObj, "./output/example.json");
// replaces the value of `myObject` with a new object
string memory newJsonObj = '{ "aNumber": 123, "aString": "asd" }';
vm.writeJson(newJsonObj, "./output/example.json", ".myObject");
// replaces the value of `aString` in the new object
vm.writeJson("my new string", "./output/example.json", ".myObject.aString");
// Here's example.json:
//
// {
// "boolean": true,
// "number": 342,
// "myObject": {
// "aNumber": 123,
// "aString": "my new string"
// }
// }
A more complex example
string memory jsonObj = '{ "boolean": true, "number": 342, "obj1": { "foo": "bar" } }';
vm.writeJson(jsonObj, "./output/example2.json");
string memory jsonObj2 = '{ "aNumber": 123, "obj2": {} }';
vm.writeJson(jsonObj2, "./output/example2.json", ".obj1");

will erase the breakpoint at '<char>
.
If the char is overwritten, only the last one that was visited in the execution steps is considered.
Examples
function testBreakpoint() public {
vm.breakpoint("a");
}
Opening up the debugger in a test environment and pressing 'a
will then place the debugger step at the place where the breakpoint cheatcode was called.

copyStorage
Signature
function copyStorage(address from, address to) external;
Description
Utility cheatcode to copy storage of from
contract to another to
contract.
Cheatcode is not allowed if the target address has arbitrary storage set.
Examples
Given a contract
contract Counter {
uint256 public count;
function setCount(uint256 x) public {
count = x;
}
}
using copyStorage
cheatcode copies the storage set on an instance to another address:
function testCopyStorage() public {
Counter original = new Counter();
original.setCount(1000);
Counter copy = new Counter();
copy.setCount(1);
// Check initial count on copy.
assertEq(copy.count(), 1);
vm.copyStorage(address(original), address(copy));
// Value is copied from first contract to copy.
assertEq(copy.count(), 1000);
}
setArbitraryStorage
Signature
function setArbitraryStorage(address target) external;
Description
Utility cheatcode to make the storage of the given address fully symbolic.
Any subsequent SLOAD
to target storage reads an arbitrary value which is memorized and returned if the same slot is loaded again.
If the storage slot is explicitly written (before or after first load), then the written value is returned.
Examples
For a contract with following storage layout:
contract Counter {
address[] public owners;
function getOwner(uint256 pos) public view returns (address) {
return owners[pos];
}
function setOwner(uint256 pos, address owner) public {
owners[pos] = owner;
}
}
using setArbitraryStorage
cheatcode ensures that arbitrary values are returned:
contract ArbitraryStorageTest is Test {
function testArbitraryStorage() public {
Counter counter = new Counter();
vm.setArbitraryStorage(address(counter));
// Next call would fail with array out of bounds without arbitrary storage
address owner = counter.getOwner(55);
// Subsequent calls to same slot returns same value
assertEq(counter.getOwner(55), owner);
// The new value is returned if explicitly written
counter.setOwner(55, address(111));
assertEq(counter.getOwner(55), address(111));
}
}
RPC related cheatcodes
Signature
// Returns the URL for a configured alias
function rpcUrl(string calldata alias) external returns (string memory);
// Returns all configured (alias, URL) pairs
function rpcUrls() external returns(string[2][] memory);
/// Performs an Ethereum JSON-RPC request to the current fork URL.
function rpc(string calldata method, string calldata params) external returns (bytes memory data);
Description
Provides cheatcodes to access all RPC endpoints configured in the rpc_endpoints
object of the foundry.toml
, and the ability to make rpc
calls using the configured fork URL.
Examples
The following rpc_endpoints
in foundry.toml
registers two RPC aliases:
optimism
references the URL directlymainnet
references theRPC_MAINNET
environment value that is expected to contain the actual URL
Env variables need to be wrapped in ${}
# --snip--
[rpc_endpoints]
optimism = "https://optimism.alchemyapi.io/v2/..."
mainnet = "${RPC_MAINNET}"
string memory url = vm.rpcUrl("optimism");
assertEq(url, "https://optimism.alchemyapi.io/v2/...");
If a ENV var is missing, rpcUrl()
will revert:
vm.expectRevert("Failed to resolve env var `${RPC_MAINNET}` in `RPC_MAINNET`: environment variable not found");
string memory url = vm.rpcUrl("mainnet");
Retrieve all available alias -> URL pairs
string[2][] memory allUrls = vm.rpcUrls();
assertEq(allUrls.length, 2);
string[2] memory val = allUrls[0];
assertEq(val[0], "optimism");
string[2] memory env = allUrls[1];
assertEq(env[0], "mainnet");
Make an RPC call to eth_getBalance
// balance at block <https://etherscan.io/block/18332681>
bytes memory result = vm.rpc("eth_getBalance", "[\"0x8D97689C9818892B700e27F316cc3E41e17fBeb9\", \"0x117BC09\"]")

Description
These cheatcodes provided by forge-std can be used for filesystem manipulation operations.
By default, filesystem access is disallowed and requires the fs_permission
setting in foundry.toml
:
# Configures permissions for cheatcodes that touch the filesystem like `vm.writeFile`
# `access` restricts how the `path` can be accessed via cheatcodes
# `read-write` | `true` => `read` + `write` access allowed (`vm.readFile` + `vm.writeFile`)
# `none`| `false` => no access
# `read` => only read access (`vm.readFile`)
# `write` => only write access (`vm.writeFile`)
# The `allowed_paths` further lists the paths that are considered, e.g. `./` represents the project root directory
# By default _no_ fs access permission is granted, and _no_ paths are allowed
# following example enables read access for the project dir _only_:
# `fs_permissions = [{ access = "read", path = "./"}]`
fs_permissions = [] # default: all file cheat codes are disabled
Examples
Append a line to a file, this will create the file if it does not exist yet
This requires read access to the file / project root
fs_permissions = [{ access = "read", path = "./"}]
string memory path = "output.txt";
string memory line1 = "first line";
vm.writeLine(path, line1);
string memory line2 = "second line";
vm.writeLine(path, line2);
Write to and read from a file
This requires read-write access to file / project root:
fs_permissions = [{ access = "read-write", path = "./"}]
string memory path = "file.txt";
string memory data = "hello world";
vm.writeFile(path, data);
assertEq(vm.readFile(path), data);
Remove a file
This requires write access to file / project root:
fs_permissions = [{ access = "write", path = "./"}]
string memory path = "file.txt";
vm.removeFile(path);
assertFalse(vm.exists(validPath));
Verify that a filesystem path is valid
// Verify that path 'foo/files/bar.txt' exists
string memory validPath = "foo/files/bar.txt";
assertTrue(vm.exists(validPath));
Verify that a filesystem path points to a file or directory
// Verify that path 'foo/file/bar.txt' points to a file
string memory validFilePath = "foo/files/bar.txt";
assertTrue(vm.isFile(validFilePath));
// Verify that 'foo/file' points to a directory
string memory validDirPath = "foo/files";
assertTrue(vm.isDir(validDirPath));
Forge Standard Library Reference

: Up-to-date cheatcodes interfaceimport {Vm} from "forge-std/Vm.sol";
-
console.sol
andconsole2.sol
: Hardhat-style logging functionalityimport {console} from "forge-std/console.sol";
Note:
console2.sol

Forge Std’s Test
The Test
contract in Test.sol
provides all the essential functionality you need to get started writing tests.
Simply import Test.sol
and inherit from Test
in your test contract:
import {Test} from "forge-std/Test.sol";
contract ContractTest is Test { ...

noGasMetering
Signature
modifier noGasMetering();
Description
A function modifier that turns off gas metering for the life of the function.
Note, there is some gas associated with calling the cheatcode, so you will see some gas usage (albeit small) when using this modifier.
Examples
function addInLoop() internal returns (uint256) {
uint256 b;
for (uint256 i; i < 10000; i++) {
b + i;
}
return b;
}
function addInLoopNoGas() internal noGasMetering returns (uint256) {
return addInLoop();
}
function testFunc() external {
uint256 gas_start = gasleft();
addInLoop();
uint256 gas_used = gas_start - gasleft();
uint256 gas_start_no_metering = gasleft();
addInLoopNoGas();
uint256 gas_used_no_metering = gas_start_no_metering - gasleft();

assumePayable
Signature
function assumePayable(address addr) public;
Description
Uses assume
to filter addresses that reject Ether transfers.
This makes an external call to the specified addr
with a no calldata and checks assume
against the success of the call.
Std Errors
assertionError
arithmeticError
divisionError
enumConversionError
encodeStorageError
popError
indexOOBError
memOverflowError
zeroVarError
assertionError
Signature
stdError.assertionError
Description
The internal Solidity error when an assert
fails.
arithmeticError
Signature
stdError.arithmeticError
Description
The internal Solidity error when an arithmetic operation fails, e.g. underflow and overflow.
Example
Assume we have a basic vault contract that can store some token (wmdToken
):
contract BasicVault {
IERC20 public immutable wmdToken;
mapping(address => uint) public balances;
event Deposited(address indexed from, uint amount);
event Withdrawal(address indexed from, uint amount);
constructor(IERC20 wmdToken_){
wmdToken = wmdToken_;
}
function deposit(uint amount) external {
balances[msg.sender] += amount;
bool success = wmdToken.transferFrom(msg.sender, address(this), amount);
require(success, "Deposit failed!");
emit Deposited(msg.sender, amount);
}
function withdraw(uint amount) external {
balances[msg.sender] -= amount;
bool success = wmdToken.transfer(msg.sender, amount);
require(success, "Withdrawal failed!");
emit Withdrawal(msg.sender, amount);
}
}
We have a test function to ensure that a user is unable to withdraw tokens in excess of his deposit, like so:
function testUserCannotWithdrawExcessOfDeposit() public {
vm.prank(user);
vm.expectRevert(stdError.arithmeticError);
vault.withdraw(userTokens + 100*10**18);
}
- User has tokens of amount
userTokens
deposited in a Vault contract. - User attempts to withdraw tokens of amount in excess of his deposits.
- This leads to an underflow error, resulting from:
balances[msg.sender] -= amount;
as it would evaluate into a negative value.
To catch the error “Arithmetic over/underflow”, we insert vm.expectRevert(stdError.arithmeticError)
just before the function call that is expected to result in an underflow.
divisionError
Signature
stdError.divisionError
Description
The internal Solidity error when a division fails, e.g. division by zero.
enumConversionError
Signature

Description
The internal Solidity error when trying to access data in storage that is corrupted. Data cannot be corrupted unless assembly had been used.
popError
Signature
stdError.popError
Description
The internal Solidity error when trying to pop an element off of an empty array.
indexOOBError
Signature
stdError.indexOOBError
Description
The internal Solidity error when trying to access an element of an array that is out of bounds.
Will not work for empty arrays in external contracts. For those, use expectRevert
without any arguments.
memOverflowError
Signature
stdError.memOverflowError
Description
The internal Solidity error when trying to allocate a dynamic memory array with more than 2^64-1 items.
zeroVarError
Signature
stdError.zeroVarError
Description
The internal Solidity error when trying to call a function via a function pointer that has not been initialized.
Std Storage
Std Storage is a library that makes manipulating storage easy.
To use Std Storage, import the following in your test contract:
import {stdStorage, StdStorage} from "forge-std/Test.sol";
Add the following line in your test contract:
using stdStorage for StdStorage;
Then, access Std Storage via the stdstore
instance.
Functions
Query functions:
target
: Set the address of the target contractsig
: Set the 4-byte selector of the function to static callwith_key
: Pass an argument to the function (can be used multiple times)depth
: Set the position of the value in thetuple
(e.g. inside astruct
)
Terminator functions:
find
: Return the slot numberchecked_write
: Set the data to be written to the storage slot(s)read_<type>
: Read the value from the storage slot as<type>
Example
playerToCharacter
tracks info about players’ characters.
// MetaRPG.sol
struct Character {
string name;
uint256 level;
}
mapping (address => Character) public playerToCharacter;
Let’s say we want to set the level of our character to 120.
// MetaRPG.t.sol

SEE ALSO
Cheatcodes:
Console Logging
- Similar to Hardhat’s console functions.
- You can use it in calls and transactions. It also works with view and pure functions.
- It always works, regardless of the call or transaction failing or being successful.
- To use it you need import it:
import {console} from "forge-std/console.sol";
- You can call console.log with up to 4 parameters in any order of following types:
uint
string
bool
address
- There’s also the single parameter API for the types above, and additionally bytes, bytes1… up to bytes32:
console.logInt(int i)
console.logUint(uint i)
console.logString(string memory s)
console.logBool(bool b)
console.logAddress(address a)
console.logBytes(bytes memory b)
console.logBytes1(bytes1 b)
console.logBytes2(bytes2 b)
- …
console.logBytes32(bytes32 b)
- console.log implements the same formatting options that can be found in Hardhat’s console.log.
- Example:
console.log("Changing owner from %s to %s", currentOwner, newOwner)
- Example:
- console.log is implemented in standard Solidity and it is compatible Anvil and Hardhat Networks.
- console.log calls can run in other networks, like mainnet, kovan, ropsten, etc. They do nothing in those networks, but do spend a minimal amount of gas.
console.log(format[,...args])
The console.log()
method prints a formatted string using the first argument as a printf-like format string which can contain zero or more format specifiers. Each specifier is replaced with the converted value from the corresponding argument. Supported specifiers are:
%s
: String will be used to convert all values to a human-readable string.uint256
,int256
andbytes
values are converted to their0x
hex encoded values.%d
: Number will be used to convert all values to a human-readable string. This is identical to%s
.%i
: Works the same way as%d
.%e
: The exponential representation of a number. Foruint256
andint256
types.%x
: The hexadecimal representation of a number. Foruint256
andint256
types.%o
: Object. A string representation of an object with generic JavaScript-styled object formatting. For solidity types, this basically surround the string representation of the value in single-quotes.%%
: single percent sign (‘%’). This does not consume an argument.- Returns:
<string>
The formatted string
If a specifier does not have a corresponding argument, it is not replaced:
console.log("%s:%s", "foo");
// Returns: "foo:%s"
Values that are not part of the format string are formatted using as a human-readable string representation.
If there are more arguments passed to the console.log() method than the number of specifiers, the extra arguments are concatenated to the returned string, separated by spaces:
console.log("%s:%s", "foo", "bar", "baz");
// Returns: "foo:bar baz"
If only one argument is passed to console.log(), it is returned as it is without any formatting:
console.log("%% %s");
// Returns: "%% %s"
The String format specifier (%s
) should be used in most cases unless specific functionality is needed from other format specifiers.
DSTest Reference
Dappsys Test (DSTest for short) provides basic logging and assertion functionality. It is included in the Forge Standard Library.
To get access to the functions, import forge-std/Test.sol
and inherit from Test
in your test contract:
import {Test} from "forge-std/Test.sol";
contract ContractTest is Test {
// ... tests ...
}

Miscellaneous
Struct Encoding
Structs are user defined types that can group several variables:
struct MyStruct {
address addr;
uint256 amount;
}
Only the new ABI coder v2 can encode and decode arbitrarily nested arrays and structs. Since Solidity 0.8.0 it is activated by default, prior to that it needs to be activated via pragma experimental ABIEncoderV2
.
Solidity structs map to the ABI type “tuple”. For more information on how Solidity types map to ABI types see Mapping Solidity to ABI types in the Solidity documentation.
Structs are therefore encoded and decoded as tuples. So the struct we defined above, MyStruct
, maps to the tuple (address,uint256)
in terms of the ABI.
Let’s see how this works in a contract:
pragma solidity =0.8.15;
contract Test {
struct MyStruct {
address addr;
uint256 amount;
}
function f(MyStruct memory t) public pure {}
}
The ABI of the f
function in this contract is:
{
"inputs": [
{
"components": [
{
"internalType": "address",
"name": "addr",
"type": "address"
},
{
"internalType": "uint256",
"name": "amount",
"type": "uint256"
}
],
"internalType": "struct Test.MyStruct",
"name": "t",
"type": "tuple"
}
],
"name": "f",
"outputs": [],
"stateMutability": "pure",
"type": "function"
}
which reads: The function f
takes 1 input of type tuple
with two components of type address
and uint256
.
Nested Struct Encoding: Here’s a more complex example with nested structs:
pragma solidity 0.8.21;
contract Test {
struct nestedStruct {
address addr;
uint256 amount;
}
struct MyStruct {
string nestedStructName;
uint256 nestedStructCount;
nestedStruct _nestedStruct;
}
function f(MyStruct memory t) public pure {}
}
The ABI of the f
function in this contract is:
{
"inputs": [
{
"name": "t",
"type": "tuple",
"internalType": "struct Test.MyStruct",
"components": [
{
"name": "nestedStructName",
"type": "string",
"internalType": "string"
},
{
"name": "nestedStructCount",
"type": "uint256",
"internalType": "uint256"
},
{
"name": "_nestedStruct",
"type": "tuple",
"internalType": "struct Test.nestedStruct",
"components": [
{
"name": "addr",
"type": "address",
"internalType": "address"
},
{
"name": "amount",
"type": "uint256",
"internalType": "uint256"
}
]
}
]
}
],
"name": "f",
"outputs": [],
"stateMutability": "pure",
"type": "function"
}
which reads: The function f
takes 1 input of type tuple with three components: a string, a uint256, and another tuple representing the nested struct with components addr of type address and amount of type uint256.
To encode MyStruct
to pass it as a parameter to the function f
:
cast abi-encode "f((string,uint256,(address,uint256)))" "(example,1,(0x...,1))"
To deploy a contract accepting MyStruct
as an argument:
forge create src/Test.sol:Test --constructor-args "(example,1,(0x...,1))"
