web3.eth.abi.encodeFunctionCall does not accept string as ABI parameter

Question

I do not have the json interface as ABI, how can I construct the calldata?

This does not work because encodeFunctionCall does not accept string as method signature:

web3.eth.abi.encodeFunctionCall('upgradeToAndCall(address, bytes memory)', [arg1, arg2])

Does anyone know?

P.S: It's weird that encodeFunctionSignature accepts string as method signature

Answer 1

Instead of encodeFunctionCalll, you can use function(parameters).encodeABI()
