**A Mocha reporter for Ethereum test suites:**

- Gas usage per unit test.
- Metrics for method calls and deployments.
- National currency costs of deploying and using your contract system.
- CI integration with [codechecks](http://codechecks.io)
- Simple installation for Truffle and Buidler

### Installation and Config

**[Truffle](https://www.trufflesuite.com/docs)**

```
npm install --save-dev eth-gas-reporter
```

```javascript
/* truffle-config.js */
module.exports = {
  networks: { ... },
  mocha: {
    reporter: 'eth-gas-reporter',
    reporterOptions : { ... } // See options below
  }
};
```

**[Buidler](https://buidler.dev)**

```
npm install --save-dev buidler-gas-reporter
```

```javascript
/* buidler.config.js */
usePlugin('buidler-gas-reporter');

module.exports = {
  networks: { ... },
  gasReporter: { ... } // See options below
};
```

**Other**

This reporter should work with any build platform that uses Mocha and
connects to an Ethereum client running as a separate process. There's more on advanced use cases
[here](https://github.com/cgewecke/eth-gas-reporter/blob/master/docs/advanced.md).

### Continuous Integration (Travis and CircleCI)

This reporter comes with a [codechecks](http://codechecks.io) CI integration that
displays a pull request's gas consumption changes relative to its target branch in the Github UI.
It's like coveralls for gas. The codechecks service is free for open source and maintained by MakerDao engineer [@krzkaczor](https://github.com/krzkaczor).

Complete [set-up guide here](https://github.com/cgewecke/eth-gas-reporter/blob/master/docs/codechecks.md) (it's easy).

### Options

:warning: **CoinMarketCap API change** :warning:

Beginning March 2020, CoinMarketCap requires an API key to access currency market
price data. The reporter uses an unprotected free tier key by default (10k reqs/mo). You can get
your own API key [here][55] and set it with the `coinmarketcap` option.

### Advanced Use

An advanced use guide is available [here](https://github.com/cgewecke/eth-gas-reporter/blob/master/docs/advanced.md). Topics include:

- Getting accurate gas data when using proxy contracts like EtherRouter or ZeppelinOS.
- Configuring the reporter to work with non-truffle, non-buidler projects.

### Example Reports

- [gnosis/gnosis-contracts](https://github.com/cgewecke/eth-gas-reporter/blob/master/docs/gnosis.md)
- [windingtree/LifToken](https://github.com/cgewecke/eth-gas-reporter/blob/master/docs/lifToken.md)

### Usage Notes

- Requires Node >= 8.
- You cannot use `ganache-core` as an in-process provider for your test suite. The reporter makes sync RPC calls
  while collecting data and your tests will hang unless the client is launched as a separate process.
- Method calls that throw are filtered from the stats.
- Contracts that are only ever created by other contracts within Solidity are not shown in the deployments table.

### Contributions

Feel free to open PRs or issues. There is an integration test and one of the mock test cases is expected to fail. If you're adding an option, you can vaildate it in CI by adding it to the mock options config located [here](https://github.com/cgewecke/eth-gas-reporter/blob/master/mock/config-template.js#L13-L19).

### Credits

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

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