Testing Smart Contracts using Foundry

In this section, you'll set up a smart contract test and test it using forge.

Step 1: Test Script

You will see a directory called test in the root of your project. This is where you can view/write your tests. The demo counter.sol comes with a test script counter.t.sol, which contains:

// SPDX-License-Identifier: UNLICENSED
pragma solidity ^0.8.13;

import {Test, console} from "forge-std/Test.sol";
import {Counter} from "../src/Counter.sol";

contract CounterTest is Test {
  Counter public counter;

  function setUp() public {
    counter = new Counter();
    counter.setNumber(0);
  }

  function test_Increment() public {
    counter.increment();
    assertEq(counter.number(), 1);
  }

  function testFuzz_SetNumber(uint256 x) public {
    counter.setNumber(x);
    assertEq(counter.number(), x);
  }
}

Step 2: Run the Test

To run the test, execute the following command in the root of your project:

forge test

This will run the test script and display the results in the terminal.

forge test
