Is there a way to debug step by step in Test Environment?

I hope to debug step by step in Test Environment, so I can know which step causes an error in a certain transaction (function call). Is there a way to do it?

Hello @Ankarrr, unluckily there is no good CLI step by step debugger yet. There are three alternatives to tackle this today, none of them compatible with OpenZeppelin Test Environment:

  1. There’s Buidler’s console.log by Nomic Labs
  2. You can use Tenderly to deploy and debug your contract on a local network
  3. And finally, you can copy-paste your contracts and debug it using Remix which is the only step-by-step debugger

I hope this helps!

Hi @martriay,

Thanks for your reply. May I have a sample of how to use the Buidler’s console.log by Nomic Labs with Test Environment?

Thank you!

@Ankarrr Sorry for the confusion, it’s not possible to make use of console.log in Test Environment because it relies on specific features of the Buidler EVM.

Thank you for your responses! I think we need a better solution to debug a transaction in the test environment.
