OpenZeppelin smart contracts play a crucial role in the world of decentralized applications and blockchain development.
To prove the OpenZeppelin smart contract compatibility with the VeChainThor blockchain the OpenZeppelin tests were performed using the Hardhat development environment and a custom plugin specifically designed to connect to the VeChainThor Node.
A selection of failing tests were examined and bug fixes were suggested in pull requests. Since test cases include Hardhat specific tests, we opted to compare results against a non Hardhat network, specifically using the .
Upgrading VeChainThor to the Shanghai EVM version, we want to ensure the OpenZeppelin contracts v5 are still compatible. In order to do so we prepared a custom OpenZeppelin contracts where all tests were adapted to run on VeChainThor. Since those tests are meant to be run against Hardhat network, multiple changes were made. Some test cases were removed (the end goal is not to test OpenZeppelin contracts themselves) because they cannot be run against a real blockchain and others were changed to reflect the VeChainThor responses.
The results are still comparable with the previous run: the tests that failed previously failed this run too. As for the newly added tests, they were inspected to understand the reasons for failure. Most of them failed because of the nature of the test (expected to be run against a Hardhat network, not a real one), while others failed because they were expecting a different error messages but for the same reason. Only one new error was found and its details are described in the test coverage section.
