}

this is my contract

const {expect} = require("chai");

describe("Token Contract",function()
{
    it("Deployment should assign the total supply of the token",async function()
    {
        const [owners] = await ethers.getSigners();  // represent an ethereum account
        console.log("Signers Object",owners);
        const Token = await ethers.getContractFactory("Token");  // instance created
        const deploy_token  = await Token.deploy(); // deploy the contract statement
        const ownerbalance = await deploy_token.balanceof(owners.address);  //calling balanceof function of the contract
        console.log(owners.address);
        expect(await ownerbalance.showbalance(owners).to.equal(ownerbalance));
    });
});

My token.js file

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

balanceof(address _to,uint256 amount) must receive 2 args, but you pass only 1

await deploy_token.balanceof(owners.address)

P.S. Looks like you use wrong code inside balanceOf function. Balance of must show user baalance, but there is a code for transfer function.

Answer 2

Fix Your Contract Function Name: In your Solidity contract, rename the function balanceof to transfer.

Run Your Test Correctly: In your test code, you're using the function balanceof in a way that it's not supposed to be used. Instead, use showbalance to check the balance of the owner's address.

Fix the expect Line: In the test, you wrote the expect line incorrectly. You should be comparing the initial balance to '10000'.

Test:

describe("Token Contract", function () { it("Deployment should assign the total supply of the token", async function () { const [owner] = await ethers.getSigners(); const Token = await ethers.getContractFactory("Token"); const deployed_token = await Token.deploy(); await deployed_token.deployed();

const initialOwnerBalance = await deployed_token.showbalance(owner.address);

// This line checks if the owner's initial balance is 10000.
expect(initialOwnerBalance.toString()).to.equal('10000');

}); });
