Majority of current tests are written in Rust, which instantiate ref-fvm.
Writing and maintaing them is time intensive, both because of the slow compilation/run time, but also because of the not fully matured Rust EVM tooling.
Approach
We propose to expand the current test suite with Hardhat tests that will run on filecoin-fvm-localnet.
With this approach we can arrange scenarios in which we control both the user and the provider accounts, enabling us to create complex flows that would not be possible on public testnets/mainnet.
Additionally, the code written in these tests would be used to provide FEVM Solidity developers with examples on the filecoin-solidity lib use.

Approach
We propose to expand the current test suite with Hardhat tests that will run on filecoin-fvm-localnet.
An example of how this will look like is
./hh-test/market.sample.t.ts(inspired by./testing/tests/market.rs).With this approach we can arrange scenarios in which we control both the user and the provider accounts, enabling us to create complex flows that would not be possible on public testnets/mainnet.
Additionally, the code written in these tests would be used to provide FEVM Solidity developers with examples on the
filecoin-soliditylib use.
