What went wrong?

Please include information like: For contracts behind proxies, ape fails to decode logs, poc below

import web3 as W3
from ape import networks, api, Contract, accounts
import json

provider_url = "https://eth-sepolia.g.alchemy.com/v2/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
w3     = W3.Web3(W3.HTTPProvider(provider_url))
with open("deployments.json","r") as f:
    abi = json.load(f)
with networks.parse_network_choice("ethereum:sepolia-fork:foundry"):
    contract = Contract(address="0x8715b7eaDC55DF39F0D7bd8D5Ae44BaD4A7a0a8f",abi=abi)
    with accounts.use_sender("0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000001"):        
        tx = contract.createAccount(gas=int(10e6),max_fee="10 gwei",type=2)
    print(tx.logs)

which prints

print(tx.logs)

• what command you ran, A simple command to create an account with synthetix contracts
• the code that caused the failure (see this link for help with formatting code) The code works, it's just events dont get decoded automatically if they are behind proxies, even if loaded into ape

How can it be fixed?

Use the abi of the contract to decode events

[linear[bot]]

APE-1784 Ape Does Not Automatically Decode Events Loaded Into It's Contracts

[kaleb-keny]

Abi of the below snipped found here deployments.json

[antazoey]

Use tx.events

[kaleb-keny]

hey @antazoey

tx.events
WARNING: Failed to locate contract at '0xCb5D8fE2B4AfbedB1970CCDc2f2e2919a6114240'.

[antazoey]

Yep, those are the events decoded

[kaleb-keny]

It shows unknown selector thought 🤔 I dont see decoded logs

[antazoey]

It also looks like you are missing the contract type! Once you add that, the logs will decode even better.

[kaleb-keny]

hmm sorry what is a contract type referring to, a contract is an address and an abi, right?

Feel free to re-open if you find issues! Check out some of the documentation: https://docs.apeworx.io/ape/stable/methoddocs/contracts.html

[kaleb-keny]

dm'd you via intermediary on discord

[antazoey]

actually this one is best: https://docs.apeworx.io/ape/stable/userguides/contracts.html

[antazoey]

ok actually is a bug lol but is a little different than described originally

[kaleb-keny]

appreciate the fast response, thank you
