Package Exports
- @ethereum-waffle/mock-contract
- @ethereum-waffle/mock-contract/dist/cjs/src/index.js
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@ethereum-waffle/mock-contract) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme

@ethereum-waffle/mock-contract
Library for mocking smart contract dependencies during unit testing.
Installation
In the current version of waffle (v3.x.x) you will install this package as a dependency of the main waffle package - ethereum-waffle.
yarn add --dev ethereum-waffle
npm install --save-dev ethereum-waffleIf you want to use this package directly please install it via:
yarn add --dev @ethereum-waffle/mock-contract
npm install --save-dev @ethereum-waffle/mock-contractUsage
Create an instance of a mock contract providing the ABI/interface of the smart contract you want to mock:
const {deployMockContract} = require('@ethereum-waffle/mock-contract');
...
const mockContract = await deployMockContract(wallet, contractAbi);Mock contract can now be passed into other contracts by using the address attribute.
Return values for mocked functions can be set using:
await mockContract.mock.<nameOfMethod>.returns(<value>)
await mockContract.mock.<nameOfMethod>.withArgs(<arguments>).returns(<value>)Methods can also be set up to be reverted using:
await mockContract.mock.<nameOfMethod>.reverts()
await mockContract.mock.<nameOfMethod>.withArgs(<arguments>).reverts()Sometimes you may have an overloaded function name:
contract OverloadedFunctions is Ownable {
function burn(uint256 amount) external returns (bool) {
// ...
}
function burn(address user, uint256 amount) external onlyOwner returns (bool) {
// ...
}
}You may choose which function to call by using its signature:
await mockContract.mock['burn(uint256)'].returns(true)
await mockContract.mock['burn(address,uint256)'].withArgs('0x1234...', 1000).reverts()You may wish to execute another contract through a mock. Given the "AmIRichAlready" code below, you could call constant functions using staticcall:
const contractFactory = new ContractFactory(AmIRichAlready.abi, AmIRichAlready.bytecode, sender);
const amIRich = await contractFactory.deploy()
const mockERC20 = await deployMockContract(sender, IERC20.abi);
let result = await mockERC20.staticcall(amIRich, 'check()')
// you may also just use the function name
result = await mockERC20.staticcall(amIRich, 'check')
expect(result).to.equal(true) // result will be true if you have enough tokensYou may also execute transactions through the mock, using call:
const contractFactory = new ContractFactory(AmIRichAlready.abi, AmIRichAlready.bytecode, sender);
const amIRich = await contractFactory.deploy()
const mockERC20 = await deployMockContract(sender, IERC20.abi);
let result = await mockERC20.call(amIRich, 'setRichness(uint256)', 1000)
// you may also just use the function name
result = await mockERC20.call(amIRich, 'setRichness', 1000)
expect(await amIRich.richness()).to.equal('1000') // richness was updatedExample
The example below illustrates how mock-contract can be used to test the very simple AmIRichAlready contract.
pragma solidity ^0.6.0;
interface IERC20 {
function balanceOf(address account) external view returns (uint256);
}
contract AmIRichAlready {
IERC20 private tokenContract;
uint public richness = 1000000 * 10 ** 18;
constructor (IERC20 _tokenContract) public {
tokenContract = _tokenContract;
}
function check() public view returns (bool) {
uint balance = tokenContract.balanceOf(msg.sender);
return balance > richness;
}
function setRichness(uint256 _richness) public {
richness = _richness;
}
}We are mostly interested in the tokenContract.balanceOf call. Mock contract will be used to mock exactly this call with values that are significant for the return of the check() method.
