Reset Transactions After Completing the Test

Reset Transactions After Completing the Test

To address the isolation issue, we can use a custom JSON RPC evm_snapshot to create a snapshot to the point before the actual test execution (beforeEach). This call gives us an ID of the snapshot (stored in snap). You can think of it as a pointer to a particular point on the chain.

After the test is complete (in afterEach), we invoke the evm_revert and pass it to the snapshot ID:

example.jsx
import { fail } from "assert";
import { expect } from "chai";
import { Greeter } from "../typechain";
import { forkAndDeployGreeter } from "./utils";
import { EthersOnTenderlyFork } from "./utils/tenderly/fork";
 
describe("Deploy before tests forget execution", function () {
    let greeter: Greeter;
    let fork: EthersOnTenderlyFork;
    let snap: null | string = null;
 
    before(("Deploy contract once"), async () => {
        const forkAndContract = await forkAndDeployGreeter()
        greeter = forkAndContract.greeter;
        fork = forkAndContract.fork;
    });
 
    beforeEach(async () => {
        snap = await fork.provider.send("evm_snapshot", []);
 
    })
 
    afterEach(async () => {
        await fork.provider.send("evm_revert", [snap]);
    })
 
    it("Should change the greeting message", async () => {
        await (
            await greeter
                .connect(fork.signers[2])
                .setGreeting("Bonjour le monde!")
        ).wait();
 
        expect(await greeter.greet()).to.equal("Bonjour le monde!");
    })
 
    it("Should see message specified by the last executed test", async () => {
        expect(await greeter.greet()).to.equal("Hello, world!");
    });
});
