StaticStateChangeError

Represents an error that occurs when a state-changing operation is attempted in a static context. This error is typically encountered when a contract attempts to modify the state during a static call.

Static state change errors can occur due to:

• Attempting to modify the state in a static call.
• Executing state-changing operations in a read-only context.
• Bugs in the smart contract code leading to unintended state changes.

To debug a static state change error:

1. Review Contract Logic: Ensure that state-changing operations are not executed in static calls or read-only contexts.
2. Check Function Modifiers: Verify that the function modifiers and visibility settings are correctly applied to prevent state changes in static contexts.
3. Use TEVM Tracing: Utilize TEVM tracing to step through the contract execution and identify where the state change is attempted in a static context.
4. Inspect Contract Code: Manually inspect the contract code to ensure that state changes are correctly controlled and executed only in appropriate contexts.

Example

import { StaticStateChangeError } from '@tevm/errors'
try {
  // Some operation that can throw a StaticStateChangeError
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof StaticStateChangeError) {
    console.error(error.message);
    // Handle the static state change error
  }
}
