Verify a contract extending OpenZeppelin Contracts with a constructor deployed from a factory?

I tried using Hardhat but got this instead

[Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open ‘/UserDir/artifacts/build-info/dfcbbd42275ba6340580f1a1297d200a.json’] {

code: ‘ENOENT’,
syscall: ‘open’,
path: ‘/UserDir/artifacts/build-info/dfcbbd42275ba6340580f1a1297d200a.json’
}

May I know what is causing this?

HI @Benjamin_P,

I haven’t seen that error before. I generally create a new project for Hardhat and copy my contract over to verify and follow the process in: Verify smart contract inheriting from OpenZeppelin Contracts.

Is there a way for it to be verified successfully via Etherscan?

Hi @Benjamin_P,

Yes, it should be.

As long as you know:

  • address
  • Solidity compiler version (you can also get this from the bytecode)
  • if optimization was used
  • version of OpenZeppelin Contracts
  • constructor parameters

If you get stuck, feel free to post the above and I can try verifying for you.

If my Constructor is like this below:

constructor(
        string memory _name,
        string memory _symbol,
        uint8 _decimals,
        address _owner,
        uint256 _supply
    ) public ERC20(_name, _symbol) {
        _setupDecimals(_decimals);
        _mint(_owner, _supply);
        transferOwnership(_owner);
    }

How do I enter that in the Ethercan verification page? It says it requires ABI-encoded but I’m not sure how to get it.

Thanks

Hi @Benjamin_P,

You can encode your constructor parameters using the following:
https://abi.hashex.org/

As an aside, this is how to Format code in the forum

I uploaded the files as shown in the screenshot below.

Is there something wrong with the uploaded files?

Hi @Benjamin_P,

If you are uploading each file then you would need to change the imports to all have the contracts in the same directory.

If you tried to compile the contracts as they currently are it would fail with the same error.

@PaulRBerg created https://github.com/paulrberg/multisol which does this (though I haven’t tried it).

I recommend the following process using Hardhat: Verify smart contract inheriting from OpenZeppelin Contracts

Your alternative is to flatten the contracts (removing imports and license information, you need to ensure that you use the appropriate license).

Ok, I tried to change the import to make them all in 1 folder via import ‘./ERC20.sol’ but got an error like this

We tried looking for a match from the list of compiled contract bytecode outputs (as listed below), but was unable to find an exact match.

  1. ERC20.sol : ERC20

  2. SafeMath.sol : SafeMath
    60566023600b8282823980516…

I tried the hardhat process but I’m getting the error
[Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open ‘/userfolder/artifacts/build-info/dfcbbd42275ba6340580f1a1297d200a.json’] {

}

For the License information, where can I see this? I only chose in Etherscan the No License option.

Thanks for the shill, Andrew!

@Benjamin_P, Multisol is the solution to the problem you're facing here. It's a CLI tool that you can install via Homebrew (if on Mac), Cargo (needs Rust installed on your OS) or by downloading the binary directly.

After you install it, you run this:

multisol contracts/CreateToken.sol

And a multisol-createtoken folder will be generated for you. You will then be able to upload all the contracts in there in the Etherscan UI (after selecting "Multi-part" in the compiler type dropdown).

Thanks for this. I’ll give it a try.

Unfortunately I’m still getting the bytecode error:

We tried looking for a match from the list of compiled contract bytecode outputs (as listed below), but was unable to find an exact match.

  1. ERC20.sol : ERC20

This is despite the files are being uploaded from the Multisol folder.

Hi @Benjamin_P,

Do you want to post what version of OpenZeppelin Contracts you are using, whether you used optimization, the address on the network and what constructor parameters were used and I can have a try?

I checked the package.json in the openzeppelin folder in the node_modules and it says it uses 3.3.0

Hi @Benjamin_P,

I wasn’t able to verify your contract. Was it deployed with optimization? You can check the compiler settings in truffle-config.js.

I got the following error when trying to verify:

$ npx hardhat verify --network kovan --constructor-args arguments.js 0xc6
02812189Bd13a1B4847753FFd33BcE6e09A136
Nothing to compile
Error in plugin @nomiclabs/hardhat-etherscan: The address provided as argument contains a contract, but its bytecode doesn't match any of your local contracts.

Possible causes are:
  - Contract code changed after the deployment was executed. This includes code for seemingly unrelated contracts.
  - A solidity file was added, moved, deleted or renamed after the deployment was executed. This includes files for seemingly unrelated contracts.
  - Solidity compiler settings were modified after the deployment was executed (like the optimizer, target EVM, etc.).
  - The given address is wrong.
  - The selected network (kovan) is wrong.

For more info run Hardhat with --show-stack-traces

I tried deploying your token as a standalone contract.

$ npx hardhat run --network kovan scripts/deploy.js

Here’s the truffle config

      settings: {          // See the solidity docs for advice about optimization and evmVersion
        optimizer: {
          enabled: true,
          runs: 200
        },
        evmVersion: "byzantium"
      }
    }
  },

I just copied it, but I also tried the optimization true in etherscan options as well as Byzantium but it didn’t work. I also tried removing those options in truffle config to make things as default but to no avail. I tried in remix manually inputting the data for the constructor then used a plugin for etherscan verification and it worked. What I was doing is creating a parent contract first then this parent contract calls this createtoken.sol function to create the token using the data inputed to that parent contract. I guess that’s causing the problem because when I called the createtoken.sol without the parent contract, the verification works just like what you did when you called it independently. However I tried deploying it in truffle and still wasnt able to get verified so I’ll give hardhat a try in deployment.

Hi @Benjamin_P,

Unless there is a specific need, I would recommend using the default EVM version in your compiler settings, e.g. don’t specify an evmversion.

I wasn’t aware that there was anything special to do for verifying a factory created contract.

I'm using hardhat to deploy the contract, is this correct?

async function main() {
// We get the contract to deploy
const Greeter = await ethers.getContractFactory("CreateToken");
const greeter = await Greeter.deploy("Benjamin", "benj", 7, '0x16EDE61a09835D35e60D92AE0F11CF148cE262bF', 3000000000);

console.log("Greeter deployed to:", greeter.address);

}

main()
.then(() => process.exit(0))
.catch(error => {
console.error(error);
process.exit(1);
});

Because I'm getting this error below

What I noticed is that if I try Remix and verify it using Remix verification plugin, it gets verified successfully but if I use truffle, I just cant get it verified.
