Validation Error on bits type

[nikita-fuchs]

Maybe I can't figure out the proper formatting, but calling a function with bits param type gives me an error.

Contract:

contract Test = 
    
    record state = 
        {test : int}

    entrypoint init() =
        {test = 2}

    entrypoint get_bits(test: bits) : bits =
        test

Calling with "01010101", "0x01100110" , [1,0,0,1] and other variations fails with the same validation error:

SDK Error:

ValidationError: "Argument" at position 0 fails because ["["01100110"]" with value ""01100110"" fails to match the required pattern: /^(ak_|ct_|ok_|oq_)/]

Greetings,

I also found some things (Examples or regular expressions to validate) related to bits usage.

First: (Some tests)

aeternity/aepp-calldata-js@dbb31be#diff-178b8eee263831e53cf2c0736ee121d327270faa4cf8ba5a2677e60edf208fbaR45

Second (Reg exp)

https://github.com/aeternity/aebytecode/blob/84e246d9daeb0431a36e8b6d4215cee1b36761d2/src/aeb_fate_asm_scan.template#L26

While reading some more issues, It looks like some prefix like ak th requires and encoding in a certain way.
I am looking for more clues, WIll keep posted.

after #1313 these are handled by @aeternity/aepp-calldata package, here is an example of how to pass bits values:

aepp-sdk-js/test/integration/contract-aci.js

Lines 630 to 634 in 925e98c

	it('Valid', async () => {
	(await Promise.all([0, -1n, 0b101n]
	.map(async value => [value, (await testContract.methods.bitsFn(value)).decodedResult])))
	.forEach(([v1, v2]) => expect(v2).to.be.equal(BigInt(v1)))
	})
