Debugging Smart Contracts

If you are on Windows, we strongly recommend using WSL 2.

The node is written in Rust. Install Rust on your machine:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

From any directory, clone the era-test-node repository.

git clone https://github.com/matter-labs/era-test-node && cd era-test-node

You will notice there is a Makefile at the root of the repository containing various commands.

Use the commands below to fetch and build the smart contracts:

make fetch-contracts && make build-contracts

You can now make any changes (such as including logs) to the smart contracts in the contracts directory.

To build the binary, run the following command.

Omit clean and build-contracts if you have not made any changes to the smart contracts.

make clean && make build-contracts && make rust-build

Once built, the node binary is available at ./target/release/era-test-node.

Run the node using the built binary:

./target/release/era_test_node

You can also run the node that forks from the current state of the Abstract testnet:

./target/release/era_test_node fork https://api.testnet.abs.xyz
