abi-decoder's decodeMethod returns undefined

Question

I am trying to decode the input field of this transaction as below,

const decodedInput = abiDecoder.decodeMethod(transaction.input);

but decodedInput returns undefined despite the my ABI having the entry for swap (as below - taken from the contract's ABI in Etherscan)!

  {
    inputs: [
      {
        components: [
          {
            internalType: 'address',
            name: 'tokenAddress',
            type: 'address',
          },
          {
            internalType: 'uint256',
            name: 'amountIn',
            type: 'uint256',
          },
          {
            internalType: 'address',
            name: 'receiver',
            type: 'address',
          },
          {
            internalType: 'bytes',
            name: 'permit',
            type: 'bytes',
          },
        ],
        internalType: 'struct OdosRouter.inputToken[]',
        name: 'inputs',
        type: 'tuple[]',
      },
      {
        components: [
          {
            internalType: 'address',
            name: 'tokenAddress',
            type: 'address',
          },
          {
            internalType: 'uint256',
            name: 'relativeValue',
            type: 'uint256',
          },
          {
            internalType: 'address',
            name: 'receiver',
            type: 'address',
          },
        ],
        internalType: 'struct OdosRouter.outputToken[]',
        name: 'outputs',
        type: 'tuple[]',
      },
      {
        internalType: 'uint256',
        name: 'valueOutQuote',
        type: 'uint256',
      },
      {
        internalType: 'uint256',
        name: 'valueOutMin',
        type: 'uint256',
      },
      {
        internalType: 'address',
        name: 'executor',
        type: 'address',
      },
      {
        internalType: 'bytes',
        name: 'pathDefinition',
        type: 'bytes',
      },
    ],
    name: 'swap',
    outputs: [
      {
        internalType: 'uint256[]',
        name: 'amountsOut',
        type: 'uint256[]',
      },
      {
        internalType: 'uint256',
        name: 'gasLeft',
        type: 'uint256',
      },
    ],
    stateMutability: 'payable',
    type: 'function',
  }

I've check out related links, Abi-decoder returns undefined & myContract.getPastEvents returns undefined event, but they are quite different from my problem.

Answer 1

The problem seems related to how abi-decoder computes the function identifier (the hash of the function signature); in particular, it associates swap function to the 0x899a73f4 ID and not to the correct 0xf17a4546.

As pointed out by Ismael, the project has been stale for a few years now, and this is a known issue, so I suggest using a more updated library to execute the decoding, i.e., ethers.js's AbiCoder.

As a workaround, if you still want to stick with abi-decoder, you can replace the function ID like this:

const decodedInput = abiDecoder.decodeMethod(transaction.input.replace('0xf17a4546','0x899a73f4'));
