Is it possible to predict from ethers.js that a transaction will fail/revert ? I've noticed many times Remix pops up a warning when the transaction will fail and wondering how to protect my ethers.js script from submitting transactions that will fail

You can use the estimateGas functionality. Or simply change the transaction into a static call

interesting thanks, with the estimateGas approach would the function returning maximum gas cost be the indication that the transaction will likely fail ?
