eth-gas-reporter

eth-gas-reporter

A mocha reporter for Truffle.

• Gas usage per unit test.
• Average gas usage per method.
• Contract deployment costs.
• Real currency costs.

Install

// Truffle installed globally
npm install -g eth-gas-reporter

// Truffle installed locally (ProTip: This always works.)
npm install --save-dev eth-gas-reporter

Configure for truffle

module.exports = {
  networks: {
    development: {
      host: "localhost",
      port: 8545,
      network_id: "*" 
    }
  },
  mocha: {
    reporter: 'eth-gas-reporter'
  }
};

Usage Notes

• Euro/Eth rates are loaded at run-time from the coinmarketcap api
• Gas prices are safe-low and loaded at run-time from the blockcypher api
• Method calls that throw are filtered from the stats.
• Contracts that link to libraries are not shown in the deployments table.

Credits

All the ideas in this utility have been borrowed from elsewhere. Many thanks to:

• @maurelian - Mocha reporting gas instead of time is his idea.
• @cag - The table borrows from / is based his gas statistics work for the Gnosis contracts.
• Neufund - Block limit size ratios for contract deployments and euro pricing are borrowed from their ico-contracts test suite.
