hevm exec
Run an EVM computation using specified parameters, using an interactive debugger when --debug
flag is given.
Usage: hevm exec [--code TEXT] [--calldata TEXT] [--address ADDR]
[--caller ADDR] [--origin ADDR] [--coinbase ADDR]
[--value W256] [--nonce WORD64] [--gas WORD64] [--number W256]
[--timestamp W256] [--basefee W256] [--priority-fee W256]
[--gaslimit WORD64] [--gasprice W256] [--create]
[--maxcodesize W256] [--prev-randao W256] [--chainid W256]
[--debug] [--trace] [--rpc TEXT] [--block W256] [--root STRING]
[--project-type PROJECTTYPE]
Available options:
-h,--help Show this help text
--code TEXT Program bytecode
--calldata TEXT Tx: calldata
--address ADDR Tx: address
--caller ADDR Tx: caller
--origin ADDR Tx: origin
--coinbase ADDR Block: coinbase
--value W256 Tx: Eth amount
--nonce WORD64 Nonce of origin
--gas WORD64 Tx: gas amount
--number W256 Block: number
--timestamp W256 Block: timestamp
--basefee W256 Block: base fee
--priority-fee W256 Tx: priority fee
--gaslimit WORD64 Tx: gas limit
--gasprice W256 Tx: gas price
--create Tx: creation
--maxcodesize W256 Block: max code size
--prev-randao W256 Block: prevRandao
--chainid W256 Env: chainId
--debug Debug printing of internal behaviour
--trace Dump trace
--rpc TEXT Fetch state from a remote node
--block W256 Block state is be fetched from
--root STRING Path to project root directory (default: . )
--project-type PROJECTTYPE
Is this a Foundry or DappTools project (default:
Foundry)
Minimum required flags: either you must provide --code
or you must both pass
--rpc
and --address
.
If the execution returns an output, it will be written to stdout. Exit code indicates whether the execution was successful or errored/reverted.
Simple example usage:
hevm exec --code 0x647175696e6550383480393834f3 --gas 0xff
"Return: 0x647175696e6550383480393834f3"
Which says that given the EVM bytecode 0x647175696e6550383480393834f3
, the Ethereum
Virtual Machine will put 0x647175696e6550383480393834f3
in the RETURNDATA.
To execute a mainnet transaction:
# install seth as per
# https://github.com/makerdao/developerguides/blob/master/devtools/seth/seth-guide/seth-guide.md
$ export ETH_RPC_URL=https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/YOUR_API_KEY_HERE
$ export TXHASH=0xd2235b9554e51e8ff5b3de62039d5ab6e591164b593d892e42b2ffe0e3e4e426
hevm exec --caller $(seth tx $TXHASH from) --address $(seth tx $TXHASH to) \
--calldata $(seth tx $TXHASH input) --rpc $ETH_RPC_URL \
--block $(($(seth tx $TXHASH blockNumber)-1)) --gas $(seth tx $TXHASH gas)
