EvmRevertError

Represents an error that occurs when a transaction is reverted during EVM execution. This error is typically encountered when a smart contract execution is reverted due to unmet conditions or failed assertions.

EvmRevert errors can occur due to:

• Failed assertions in the smart contract code.
• Conditions in the code that trigger a revert.
• Insufficient gas to complete the transaction.
• Contract logic that intentionally reverts under certain conditions.

To debug a revert error:

1. Review Revert Conditions: Ensure that the conditions in the contract code that trigger reverts are properly handled and expected.
2. Check Assertions: Verify that all assertions in the code are valid and necessary.
3. Use TEVM Tracing: Utilize TEVM tracing to step through the contract execution and identify where the revert occurs.
4. Inspect Contract Logic: Manually inspect the contract code to understand why the revert is being triggered and ensure it is intentional.

Example

import { EvmRevertError } from '@tevm/errors'
try {
  // Some operation that can throw a EvmRevertError
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof EvmRevertError) {
    console.error(error.message);
    // Handle the revert error
  }
}
