Add support for solc's --include-path to compile_source

[boxydog]

Overview

I am trying to compile a file that has multiple includes from a node module.

My entire working command line is:

/Users/zzz/.solcx/solc-v0.8.10 solidity/contracts/MyContract.sol --combined-json abi,asm,ast,bin,bin-runtime,devdoc,function-debug,function-debug-runtime,generated-sources,generated-sources-runtime,hashes,metadata,opcodes,srcmap,srcmap-runtime,storage-layout,userdoc --include-path solidity/node_modules --base-path .

I added the --include-path and --base-path on the end to get it to work.

When I look at compile_files it doesn't have include_path, or a way to add arguments to the compile line.

Or maybe it does, and I just don't understand.

Personally, I'd add a way to add to the command line in general, so people can work around missing parameters without source modifications.

However, my use case just requires include_path. That flag can be added multiple times, see https://docs.soliditylang.org/en/v0.8.9/path-resolution.html#base-path-and-include-paths.

Specification

Add include_path list.

Or, add extra_arguments list where I can add my own arguments on the end.

Hi @boxydog , how are you ?

I've gone through the same issue as you and worked around bypassing the function. I'm sharing the code below, if it's still useful for anyone else:

from solcx.main import _compile_combined_json
compiled_fundme = _compile_combined_json(
    source_files="FundMe.sol",
    output_values=["abi", "bin"],
    base_path=os.getcwd(),
    include_path=f"{os.getcwd()}/node_modules"
)

@rfreis - I am well, thanks. I hope you are also well.

I am no longer working on this, so I can't comment on your solution, but good job contributing to the wider world.
