Handle ABI V2 nested array case #1726

rach-id · 2022-06-12T10:27:00Z

As discussed by @874341642 in #1321 (comment), the following ABI:

{
  "outputs": [
    {
      "components": [
        {
          "internalType": "uint256[]",
          "name": "blocks",
          "type": "uint256[]"
        }
      ],
      "internalType": "struct Mining.PlayerWork",
      "name": "",
      "type": "tuple"
    }
  ]
}

Returns the following exception:

public PlayerWork(DynamicArray< Uint256 > blocks) {
super(blocks);
}
Error info
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Array types must be wrapped in a TypeReference

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

rach-id · 2022-06-12T10:37:03Z

The first step to solve this would be to add this ABI definition to the AbiV2TestFixture.java file, such as:
https://github.com/web3j/web3j/blob/a9cc039ad3da656049e8b7bc004656ba1113b40d/abi/src/test/java/org/web3j/abi/AbiV2TestFixture.java#L183-L228

This would add the above to the test cases we can work with.
Then, add type tests under: web3j/abi/src/test/java/org/web3j/abi.
You can be inspired by this PR: #1321.

After finishing with this, and having encoding decoding tests working. Move on to the codegen module. And, following the same above way, add the tests and see where the problem is happening.

This PR should be your reference for changes #1321 as it is doing almost the same thing to implement support for struct arrays support.

I still don't understand what you mean, how to write this output parameter?

rach-id · 2022-06-12T11:50:44Z

If I understand right, you will write your own Foo, call it something I don't know, that has the same ABI definition as the one above and test against it.

Also, you can use permalink to share lines of code. And, code blocks for code blocks for a more readable discussion.

I agree, but we need to find a way to reproduce this to add tests for it and know what we need to implement.
Also, write a more refined issue following the templates.

Then, we can work on a fix and decide whether this is a bug or a missing feature.

When the bug can be fixed?

georgelombardi97 · 2023-04-30T08:34:46Z

Is there any fix for this? Hotfix or dirty way around it?

NickSneo · 2023-05-28T15:25:24Z

@874341642 @metaglobal Can you provide the Solidity code for the respective abi provided?
We are looking into this issue

NickSneo · 2023-05-29T03:28:38Z

{
	"inputs": [{
		"internalType": "uint256",
		"name": "tokenId",
		"type": "uint256"
	}],
	"name": "getPlayerWork",
	"outputs": [{
		"components": [{
			"internalType": "address",
			"name": "workType",
			"type": "address"
		}, {
			"internalType": "address",
			"name": "owner",
			"type": "address"
		}, {
			"internalType": "uint256[]",
			"name": "blocks",
			"type": "uint256[]"
		}],
		"internalType": "struct Mining.PlayerWork",
		"name": "",
		"type": "tuple"
	}],
	"stateMutability": "view",
	"type": "function"
}

I still don't understand what you mean, how to write this output parameter?

I tried to create a solidity code in respect to your provided abi -

pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

contract Random {
    struct PlayerWork {
        address workType;
        address owner;
        uint256[] blocks;
    }

    function getPlayerWork(uint256 tokenId) public view returns (PlayerWork[] memory) {
        PlayerWork[] memory works = new PlayerWork[](1);
        
        works[0].workType = address(0x123);
        works[0].owner = address(0x456);
        works[0].blocks = new uint256[](3);
        works[0].blocks[0] = 1;
        works[0].blocks[1] = 2;
        works[0].blocks[2] = 3;

        return works;
    }
}

Then using web3j only I compiled and generated java wrappers.

The abi generated (look at the difference, instead of tuple this one has tuple[]) -

{
    "inputs": [
        {
            "internalType": "uint256",
            "name": "tokenId",
            "type": "uint256"
        }
    ],
    "name": "getPlayerWork",
    "outputs": [
        {
            "components": [
                {
                    "internalType": "address",
                    "name": "workType",
                    "type": "address"
                },
                {
                    "internalType": "address",
                    "name": "owner",
                    "type": "address"
                },
                {
                    "internalType": "uint256[]",
                    "name": "blocks",
                    "type": "uint256[]"
                }
            ],
            "internalType": "struct Random.PlayerWork[]",
            "name": "",
            "type": "tuple[]"
        }
    ],
    "stateMutability": "view",
    "type": "function"
}

Seems it is working fine for me, can you please check?

NickSneo · 2023-06-06T06:15:16Z

Closing this ticket as everything seems working fine with latest web3j 4.10.0, if someone faces any issue kindly reopen so we can discuss.

Thanks @NickSneo

I had a similar situation when the result returned with address[]

Add an annotation on the dynamicArray parameter in the constructor may helps:

public Person(Uint256 id, Utf8String name, Uint8 gender, @Parameterized(type = Address.class) DynamicArray<Address> acquaintances) {
            super(id, name, gender, acquaintances);
            this.id = id.getValue();
            this.name = name.getValue();
            this.gender = gender.getValue();
            this.acquaintances = acquaintances.getValue().stream().map(v -> v.getValue()).collect(Collectors.toList());
        }

@parameterized(type = Address.class)
