Debugging Using Tenderly

Info

This section is under review and will be updated soon.

Tenderly is a comprehensive Ethereum Developer Platform for real-time monitoring, alerting, debugging, and simulating Smart Contracts. When debugging transactions and contract calls, it can be useful to help us understand what is going on with the execution. This guide contains a more detailed explanation on Tenderly, but for the basics:

  • Create a Tenderly account and project.

  • Set your Tenderly username and project name at tenderly.yaml (exports/ganache/project_slug) and at your hardhat.config.js module exports:

    tenderly: {
      username: "username",
      project: "projectname"
    }
    
  • Login to Tenderly using your username and password or an access token:

    tenderly login
    

  • Run your Hardhat deployment and export your transactions with:

    tenderly export <transaction_hash>
    

  • You'll see a link to your Tenderly dashboard where you can inspect the full transaction stack trace.
  • During testing, you will need to pause Hardhat's execution before it ends to export the transaction.
  • Optionally, there's the possibility of pushing your contract's source to verify and debug it. More on that here.
