block builders! I have trouble testing the return value from my contract, because the return uint value is always a "transaction" object (I actually don't really know what that mean)
Here is the overall picture of what I'm doing:
I try to create a bank contract that allowing client to enroll to the bank, making deposit and withdraw the deposit. In order to check if the client really enroll successfully, I put 5 ether to the newly enrolled client.
I firstly use await and async in the TestContracts.js to avoid nested callback, but the testing failed since the return value was a transaction object instead of uint
Then, I take a different approach using promise.then. However, it's even more weird, because the assert function was not being called at all, so the test always passed given any expected value.
Implementation of Bank contract:
contract Bank {
struct Customer {
address _address; // address of customer
uint deposit;
}
address owner;
mapping(address => Customer) public customerList;
uint customerCounter;
constructor() public payable {
require(msg.value == 30 ether, "Initial funding of 30 ether required for rewards");
/* Set the owner to the creator of this contract */
owner = msg.sender;
customerCounter = 0;
}
function enroll() public returns(uint){
customerList[msg.sender].deposit = 5;
customerList[msg.sender]._address = msg.sender;
customerCounter++;
return customerList[msg.sender].deposit;
}
Implementation of TestContracts.js using async and await
contract("Test", function(accounts) {
console.log("total accounts: ",accounts);
const alice = accounts[1];
const bob = accounts[2];
const charlie = accounts[3];
it("add 1 people to the bank", async ()=>{
const bank = await Bank.deployed();
const aliceBalance = await bank.enroll({from:alice});
assert.equal(aliceBalance, 5, "initial balance is incorrect");
})
Implementation of TestContracts.js using Promise
contract("Test", function(accounts) {
console.log("total accounts: ",accounts);
const alice = accounts[1];
const bob = accounts[2];
const charlie = accounts[3];
it("add 1 people to the bank", function(){
Bank.deployed().then(function(bank){
return bank.enroll({from:alice})
}).then(function(balance){
assert.equal(aliceBalance, 0, "initial balance is incorrect");
});
// const aliceBalance = await bank.enroll({from:alice});
})
