Hi, is there any way of knowing which function was called inside which function is a solidity contract.
like for example I want to know which function calls
anInsiderFunction()

in the solidity code
function thisFnCalls(){
...
anInsiderFunction()
...
}

So my result should be thisFnCalls()
as it calls anInsiderFunction()

yup, tracing

If you need testnets tokens try these:

or "forge test -vvvvvv" if you have foundry

Nov 1, 2023, 12:18 PM

so this means the transaction needs to be executed.

Nov 1, 2023, 12:56 PM

executed or simulated locally, yep

fastest way is to write a simple integration test in foundry and add some -vvvvvv

or... not the fastest way if it's already mined

so we need to call every function to see which function executes the other function. don't you think its a little bit slow

cast run --quick --rpc-url RPC 0xTXHASH
should generate traces too

I'm right now on python, I've found another python tracer

if you have any alternatives, please provide

Nov 1, 2023, 12:58 PM

depends on what you need to do.
If you have no access to a contract and you want to check who it will call, i think the best way is doing a local fork and start calling it randomly

with traces

I can get the contract and abi using etherscan api

Nov 1, 2023, 12:59 PM

i still need to try this boi but seems the next best framework in python
for now all i use is Foundry

Nov 1, 2023, 12:59 PM

foundry is only in js, right?

Nov 1, 2023, 1:00 PM

nono, foundry is all in solidity

under the hood it's written in rust

hardhat is in JS

Nov 1, 2023, 1:00 PM

oh mixed up. never used foundry; have used hardhat

Time to try it

Funny thing, after making this video I tried for the 3rd attempt switching a whole to foundry, the missing piece was the possibility of using JSON files inside script contracts

Are you the guy on video?

Nov 1, 2023, 1:39 PM

btw,do you know any methods to get the modifiers of particular functions? I think with that I can narrow down which functions to use

Nov 1, 2023, 1:42 PM

yes.
Follow me for more motivational messages

i'm not 100% sure but modifiers are not directly inserted in bytecode.
The code before and after the _; is pasted in the functions on deployment

thank you
