Solidity Bug (and hardhat too)

INSTALL

pnpm i

test against geth

somewhere:

docker-compose up

this will run geth

then execute this to give the test account some ETH

pnpm execute localhost scripts/fundingFromCoinbase.ts

Finally execute the tests, you can execute them again

pnpm hardhat test --network localhost

test against hardhat

ALl test fails with hardhat, it run out of gas, even if gasLimit is higher than gas used for same tests by geth above

pnpm hardhat test

What is the bug ?

So if you look in src/Test.sol you ll see 2 function that does the same things. They should work, but they fails when the data passed in is relatively big. they always return "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000" as address of the contract created.

WHat is weird though is that if I had a log call before returning, it start working, see it for yourself, comment out line 22 and 39 and see the tests all pass

Hardhat

If you execute the test on hardhat the failing test keep failing. it seems hardhat network has different gas behavior than geth
