Motivation
Closes #2328
Forge lacks backtraces, which are useful for pinpointing the line where the revert/error originated in the call stack. This is especially useful when there are multiple nested calls between different contracts, making traces hard to follow. Backtraces help you easily "goto" the line throwing the error.
Solution
forge test
verbosity >= 3
and printed if there is a revertverbosity >= 3
, we collect the source maps, deployed bytecode, and source content using theBacktraceBuilder
.BacktraceBuilder::from_trace(arena)
; thebytecode.pc
(program counter) is mapped to the instruction pointer and then source maps are used to pinpoint the source locations in the call stack.BacktraceFrame
containing the source location of the call along with the contract and function names.Implementation can be tested using:
foundryup --pr 11547
Clone: https://github.com/yash-atreya/test-backtraces
Run
forge t -vvv --ast
Should work across fresh and cached artifacts, i.e, when there are compiler source ID conflicts - 028b1aa + 5c93b5c
