I'm testing a simple call and expect it to not revert

await expect(swapCall).to.not.be.reverted

The test fails currently and I get a

AssertionError: Expected transaction NOT to be reverted

How do I get hardhat / waffle / chai to display the revert reason?

Maybe try using await expect(swapCall).revertedWith('revertMessage')

  • Doesn't work with not.be.revertedWith and the test will pass since the tx did not revert with a known message but with some other revert msg/reason.

  • You wanted to display the revert reason, I've shown you how to do it, by putting an arbitrary string in the expected message that is different from the actual one.

  • Or if you're using hardhat, the console.log is very helpful for debugging in such cases
