forge script
Run a smart contract as a script, building transactions that can be sent onchain
$ forge script --help
Usage: forge script [OPTIONS] <PATH> [ARGS]...
Arguments:
<PATH>
The contract you want to run. Either the file path or contract name.
If multiple contracts exist in the same file you must specify the target contract with --target-contract.
[ARGS]...
Arguments to pass to the script function
Options:
--target-contract <CONTRACT_NAME>
The name of the contract you want to run
[aliases: tc]
-s, --sig <SIG>
The signature of the function you want to call in the contract, or raw calldata
[default: run()]
--priority-gas-price <PRICE>
Max priority fee per gas for EIP1559 transactions
[env: ETH_PRIORITY_GAS_PRICE=]
--legacy
Use legacy transactions instead of EIP1559 ones.
This is auto-enabled for common networks without EIP1559.
--broadcast
Broadcasts the transactions
--skip-simulation
Skips on-chain simulation
-g, --gas-estimate-multiplier <GAS_ESTIMATE_MULTIPLIER>
Relative percentage to multiply gas estimates by
[default: 130]
--unlocked
Send via `eth_sendTransaction` using the `--from` argument or `$ETH_FROM` as sender
--resume
Resumes submitting transactions that failed or timed-out previously.
It DOES NOT simulate the script again and it expects nonces to have remained the same.
Example: If transaction N has a nonce of 22, then the account should have a nonce of 22, otherwise it fails.
--multi
If present, --resume or --verify will be assumed to be a multi chain deployment
--debug
Open the script in the debugger.
Takes precedence over broadcast.
--slow
Makes sure a transaction is sent, only after its previous one has been confirmed and succeeded
--non-interactive
Disables interactive prompts that might appear when deploying big contracts.
For more info on the contract size limit, see EIP-170: <https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-170>
--etherscan-api-key <KEY>

[env: ETHERSCAN_API_KEY=]
--verify

--with-gas-price <PRICE>
Gas price for legacy transactions, or max fee per gas for EIP1559 transactions

--build-info

--build-info-path <PATH>

Watch options:
-w, --watch [<PATH>...]
Watch the given files or directories for changes.
If no paths are provided, the source and test directories of the project are watched.
--no-restart
Do not restart the command while it's still running
--run-all
Explicitly re-run all tests when a change is made.
By default, only the tests of the last modified test file are executed.
--watch-delay <DELAY>
File update debounce delay.
During the delay, incoming change events are accumulated and only once the delay has passed, is an action taken. Note that this does not mean a command will be started: if --no-restart is given and
a command is already running, the outcome of the action will be to do nothing.
Defaults to 50ms. Parses as decimal seconds by default, but using an integer with the `ms` suffix may be more convenient.
When using --poll mode, you'll want a larger duration, or risk overloading disk I/O.
--format-json
Output the compilation errors in the json format. This is useful when you want to use the output in other tools
