_Follow along with the video_ --- ### Introduction There are notable differences between the EVM and ZKsync Era VM, as detailed in the [ZKsync documentation](https://docs.zksync.io/build/developer-reference/ethereum-differences/evm-instructions). In this lesson, we will explore some DevOps tools designed to help run tests and functions on both VMs. ### `foundry-devops` Tools In the `FundMeTest.t.sol` file, certain tests that run on Vanilla Foundry may not work on ZKsync Foundry, and vice versa. To address these differences, we will explore two packages from the [foundry-devops](https://github.com/Cyfrin/foundry-devops) repository: `ZkSyncChainChecker` and `FoundryZkSyncChecker`. This lesson will cover how to use these packages effectively. ```js import { ZkSyncChainChecker } from "lib/foundry-devops/src/ZkSyncChainChecker.sol"; import { FoundryZkSyncChecker } from "lib/foundry-devops/src/FoundryZkSyncChecker.sol"; ``` ### Setting Up ZkSyncDevOps The file [`test/unit/ZkSyncDevOps.t.sol`](https://github.com/Cyfrin/foundry-fund-me-cu/blob/main/test/unit/ZkSyncDevOps.t.sol) is a minimal test file that shows how tests may fail on the ZKsync VM but pass on an EVM, or vice versa. You can follow these steps to set it up: 1. Copy the content from the GitHub repo into your project's `test/unit` directory, and create a new file named `ZkSyncDevOps.t.sol`. 2. Install any missing dependencies using the command: ```bash forge install cyfrin/foundry-devops@0.2.2 --no-commit ``` 3. Reset your modules with: ```bash rm -rf .gitmodules && rm -rf .git/modules/* && rm -rf lib && touch .gitmodules && git add . && git commit -m "modules" ``` or ```bash make rm ``` 4. Update your `.gitignore` file by adding `.DS_store` and `zkout/`. ### VM environments modifiers You can switch environments between `fundryup` and `fundryup-zksync` to observe different behaviors of the `ZkSyncDevOps.t.sol` tests. For instance, the following command ```bash forge test --mt testZkSyncChainFails -vvv ``` will pass in both Foundry environments. However, if you remove the `skipZkSync` modifier, the test will fail on ZKsync because the content of the function is not supported on this chain. For more details on these modifiers, refer to the [foundry-devops repo](https://github.com/Cyfrin/foundry-devops?tab=readme-ov-file#usage---zksync-checker). The `skipzksync` modifier skips tests on the ZKsync chain, while `onlyzksync` runs tests only on a ZKsync-based chain. ### Foundry version modifiers Some tests may fail depending on the Foundry version. The `FoundryZkSyncChecker` package assists in executing functions based on the Foundry version. The `onlyFoundryZkSync` modifier allows tests to run only if `foundryup--zksync` is active, while `onlyVanillaFoundry` works only if `foundryup` is active. > 🗒️ **Note**:br > Ensure `ffi = true` is enabled in the `foundry.toml` file.
An essential guide to Robust Foundry Testing for EVM and zkSync - Master conditional testing techniques for contracts targeting both EVM and zkSync environments using Foundry. Leverage `cyfrin/foundry-devops` helpers like `skipZkSync` and `onlyZkSync` to ensure tests run appropriately based on the execution context.
