Hello
I'm trying to test one contract which requires an address[] as input but it doesn't seem possible with zksync-cli, am I getting it right?
Whatever I try to input it never gets interpreted as array and API encodes it as a s string in [this line](https://github.com/matter-labs/zksync-cli/blob/main/src/commands/contract/read.ts#L126)
My flow looks like below (addresses trimmed for readability, though nothing secret here)
```sh
$ zksync-cli contract read
? Chain to use zkSync Mainnet
? Contract address 0x8....4
? Contract method to call getPairInfo(address[] path, bool stable) view returns (address tokenA, address tokenB, address pair, uint256 reserveA,
uint256 reserveB, uint256 fee)
? Provide method arguments:
? [1/2] path (address[]) [0x5...E,0x0...A]
>> Failed to encode provided argument: expected array value (argument="path",
value="[0x5...E,0x0...A]", code=INVALID_ARGUMENT, version=abi/5.7.0)
```
Is there some other way to interact with such contracts, other than writing a script? I find the CLI super useful but got stopped by this situation ;)
