## Testing

Configure how `forge test` runs your tests, including verbosity, gas limits, fuzz testing, and invariant testing.

### Verbosity

Control how much output tests produce:

```toml [foundry.toml]
[profile.default]
verbosity = 2
```

| Level | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| 0 | Only show test results |
| 2 (`-vv`) | Show logs emitted during tests |
| 3 (`-vvv`) | Show stack traces for failing tests |
| 4 (`-vvvv`) | Show stack traces for all tests |
| 5 (`-vvvvv`) | Show all traces including setup |

### FFI

Enable the `ffi` cheatcode to run external programs from tests:

```toml [foundry.toml]
[profile.default]
ffi = true
```

> ⚠️ **Warning:** Enabling FFI allows tests to execute arbitrary programs. Only enable in trusted environments.

### Gas settings

Configure gas limits and pricing for tests:

```toml [foundry.toml]
[profile.default]
gas_limit = 1073741824
gas_price = 0
block_base_fee_per_gas = 0
```

For gas limits above the default, use a string:

```toml [foundry.toml]
[profile.default]
gas_limit = "9223372036854775807"
```

### Fuzz testing

Configure fuzz test behavior:

```toml [foundry.toml]
[profile.default]
[fuzz]
runs = 256
seed = "0x1"
max_test_rejects = 65536
```

For CI, increase fuzz runs for thorough testing:

```toml [foundry.toml]
[profile.ci]
[fuzz]
runs = 10000
seed = "0x1"  # Deterministic for reproducibility
```

#### Fuzz dictionary

Control how the fuzzer generates inputs:

```toml [foundry.toml]
[profile.default]
[fuzz]
dictionary_weight = 40
include_storage = true
include_push_bytes = true
```

The dictionary weight (0-100) controls how often the fuzzer uses values from the dictionary vs random values.

### Invariant testing

Configure invariant test behavior:

```toml [foundry.toml]
[profile.default]
[invariant]
runs = 256
depth = 500
fail_on_revert = false
```

* **runs**: Number of test sequences to execute
* **depth**: Number of calls per sequence
* **fail\_on\_revert**: Whether to fail if any call reverts

For thorough invariant testing:

```toml [foundry.toml]
[profile.ci]
[invariant]
runs = 1000
depth = 1000
shrink_run_limit = 5000
```

### Test filtering

Run specific tests by pattern:

```toml [foundry.toml]
[profile.default]
match_test = "test_Transfer"
match_contract = "TokenTest"
match_path = "test/unit/*"
```

Or exclude tests:

```toml [foundry.toml]
[profile.default]
no_match_test = "testFuzz_"
no_match_contract = "Integration"
```

### RPC caching

Cache RPC responses for faster fork tests:

```toml [foundry.toml]
[profile.default]
no_storage_caching = false

[rpc_storage_caching]
chains = "all"
endpoints = "remote"
```

### Example configuration

A complete test configuration:

```toml [foundry.toml]
[profile.default]
verbosity = 2
ffi = false

[fuzz]
runs = 256
seed = "0x1"

[invariant]
runs = 256
depth = 500

[profile.ci]
verbosity = 3

[profile.ci.fuzz]
runs = 10000

[profile.ci.invariant]
runs = 1000
depth = 1000
```
