Anyone encountered such issue in web3 py?
I’m trying to encode exactInput function but get an error
Also tried swapContract.encodeABI(fn_name='exactInput', args=args),
But still get an error
Anyone can help?

You are sending the wrong args. The function does not use a path array[ ] of address but bytes

Check the args and refactor your code

Also, it has to be passed in as a tuple

Could not identify the intended function with name exactInput, positional arguments with type(s) bytes,address,int,int,int and keyword arguments with type(s) {}.
Found 1 function(s) with the name exactInput: ['exactInput((bytes,address,uint256,uint256,uint256))']

i did as you said but still get this error, maybe i need to convert int to uint256? how to do that?

Did you pass it in as a tuple?

Yes tuple((arg1, arg2…)) is what I did

Let me see how...paste the code here

Let me see how...the tuple is supposed to have one set of parentheses not two

Plus you don't need to state the type tuple in your code

It won’t work with 1 parenthesis as tuple(arg1., arg2…) thinks I am passing 5 args

Even if I remove it it gives me the same error

your bytes [ ] array isn`t correct

how to encode an array to bytes?

use the contract.encodeABI

if i use web3.to_bytes([]) i get
TypeError: expected a bool, int, byte or bytearray in first arg, or keyword of hexstr or text

how will this help to encode my array, it encodes the function data doesn't it?

Yes...you`ll pass the function data into the multicall or just use the exactInputSingle function

I suggest you use the exactInputSingle since you are trying to swap

same error

You`ll be able to make the call without having to encode the tokenIn and tokenOut addresses in an array

You are supposed to encode the data and then pass it into the function

And its supposed to be passed into the multicall function

it doesn't matter what function i call, there is a write function in the router contract called exactInput

multicall will only make it harder to swap

i just need to solve this trouble of encoding the struct

You are supposed to encode the data and then pass it into the multicall function

I know it works just like the exactlnputSingle

You are having difficulty encoding the bytes path

Thus my suggestion

no i can actually send the exactInput function and it will still swap the tokens without multicall but the issue is not with multicall rather with encoding the struct

do you know how i can encode the path? convert path to bytes is the main issue i guess

I know... but your issue now is encoding bytes path ... right?

i pass b'0x' for tests, maybe there is an issue with this and if i encode and pass the actuall array that is needed it might work

also the issue might be with have int rather than uint256

these both issues i don't know how to solve

Python uses int as its equivalent for uint256 so that's not the issue

The issue is with the encoding...

Use this...

oh thx i will try it

Always a pleasure...
