Solidity by Ackee Blockchain Security

Ethereum Solidity and local node testing with security features for Visual Studio Code.

This extension adds language support for Solidity to Visual Studio Code, and provides a Remix-like experience for testing contracts on your local network. Benefits:

• Test and interact with your smart contracts on an Ethereum local node
  • Compile and deploy contracts
  • Interact with contracts
• See vulnerabilities from static analysis in real-time
  • Compilation Errors
  • See vulnerabilities from static analysis in real-time
  • Security Overview in the Sidebar
• Best code navigation experience, call-graphs and more
  • Go to definition
  • Find references
  • Document Links
  • Hover
  • Contract Outline
  • Code Lens
  • Graphs

Test and interact with your smart contracts on an Ethereum local node

Compile and deploy contracts

Compile your contracts and deploy them on a local chain for testing

Interact with contracts

Test your deployed contracts by interacting with them using function calls with different inputs

See vulnerabilities from static analysis in real-time

Free detections with leading security tool Wake

Catch potential issues early with real-time static analysis

Security Overview in the Sidebar

Get an overall overview of issues in your project

Compilation Errors

See compilation errors highlighted in code

Best code navigation experience, call-graphs and more

Go to definition

Quickly navigate to any function or variable definition with a click

Find references

Right click to see a context menu, and use it to find all references

Document Links

Click and jump to linked files and resources

Hover

Use hover to see instant documentation in your code

Contract Outline

Navigate big projects with ease using the Contract Outline

Code Lens

Code Lens shows you relevant information like functions selectors and parameter references inside your code

Graphs

Visualise contract inheritance and function control flows with graphs

Requirements

The Solidity extension uses the PyPi package eth-wake which requires Python 3.8 or higher. This package is automatically installed via conda by default.

Rosetta is required to be enabled on Apple Silicon Macs.

Known Issues

• Go to references, number of references and other features do not work correctly with no workspace open

It is always recommended to open a project as a folder (File -> Open folder). Open file should only be used when opening a single file or several files inside the same folder.

• Analysis does not work when the workspace contains compilation errors

The extension relies on the solc compiler. For this reason, files containing compilation errors and files importing these files cannot be analyzed.
