abi.calldata.toString() diverged from the reference to_str (genlayer-py-std) in three ways, all in src/abi/calldata/string.ts. Since it feeds the readable field of decodeTransaction / simplifyTransactionReceipt, the malformed output reached end users.

Input before after / reference
Uint8Array([0x01,0x02]) b#12 b#0102
20-byte address of 0x01 addr#11111111111111111111 addr#0101…0101 (40 chars)
{x:true, y:null} {"x":true"y":null} {"x":true,"y":null}
[1,2,3] [1,2,3,] [1,2,3]
  • Pad each byte to two hex chars (toString(16).padStart(2,"0")).
  • Emit a comma between object entries.
  • Emit the array comma before each element except the first.

Added tests/calldata-string.test.ts covering all four cases against the reference values. npm run lint and npm run build pass.

Closes #210

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Corrected calldata formatting for map and array values by placing separators between elements without trailing commas.
    • Ensured byte values are consistently formatted with two-character hexadecimal padding.
    • Ensured address values use consistent 40-character hexadecimal formatting.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for byte, address, object, and array serialization formats.

abi.calldata.toString produced output that diverged from the reference implementation (genlayer-py-std to_str) in three ways, all in src/abi/calldata/string.ts. Because this feeds the readable field of decodeTransaction and simplifyTransactionReceipt, the malformed output reached end users.

- Bytes and addresses used toString(16) with no padding, so a byte like 0x02 rendered as "2": b#0102 came out as b#12 and a 20-byte address lost its zero bytes. Pad each byte to two hex chars.
- Object entries were joined without a separator, giving {"x":true"y":null}. Emit a comma between entries.
- Arrays pushed a comma after every element, leaving a trailing one: [1,2,3,]. Emit the comma before each element except the first.

Added tests covering all four cases against the reference values.

Closes genlayerlabs#210

This PR targeted main, which is only the default/static branch.

I retargeted it to v2-dev, the active development branch. Pushes to v2-dev automatically fast-forward main.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The calldata string serializer now pads byte and address hexadecimal values, separates map entries with commas, and omits trailing array commas. Tests cover these formatting rules.

Changes

Calldata serialization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Serialization formatting and coverage
src/abi/calldata/string.ts, tests/calldata-string.test.ts
Byte and address values use two-character hexadecimal encoding. Map entries use comma separators. Arrays no longer emit trailing commas. Tests cover byte arrays, addresses, objects, and arrays.

Use the configured @/* aliases for src/ imports.

These tests import src/ modules with relative paths. Replace them with the configured aliases:

Proposed fix
-import {toString} from "../src/abi/calldata/string";
-import {CalldataAddress} from "../src/types/calldata";
+import {toString} from "`@/abi/calldata/string`";
+import {CalldataAddress} from "`@/types/calldata`";

As per coding guidelines, imports from src/ must use the @/* path alias.

Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Per the project's coding guidelines, imports from src/ use the @/* alias rather than relative paths. Switch the two src imports in the new test file to @/abi/calldata/string and @/types/calldata.
