InvalidEofFormatError

Represents an error that occurs when an invalid EOF format is encountered during EVM execution.

This error is specific to EOF

Invalid EOF format errors can occur due to:

  • Bugs in the smart contract code causing invalid EOF format.
  • Issues during the deployment process resulting in invalid EOF format.

To debug an invalid EOF format error:

  1. Review Deployment Process: Ensure that the EOF format being used is valid and correctly generated.
  2. Use TEVM Tracing: Utilize TEVM tracing to step through the contract deployment and identify where the invalid EOF format is generated or deployed.

Example

import { InvalidEofFormatError } from '@tevm/errors'
try {
  // Some operation that can throw an InvalidEofFormatError
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof InvalidEofFormatError) {
    console.error(error.message);
    // Handle the invalid EOF format error
  }
}

Param

A human-readable error message.

Param

Additional parameters for the BaseError.
