Reverting Reasons for Forwarding Contract Execution

While we dive into the code, let’s first try to understand why the forwarder.execute function is reverting. Specifically, I’ll explore the reason behind revertReason and provide suggestions on how to resolve it.

pragma solidity ^0.8.0;
contract forwarder {
// Forwarding contract logic
function joinChallenge(uint256 _challenge) public view returns (bool): string memory {{.
// Some forwarder logic here...
// The user signs the permission request, and we return a successful result
bool success = true;
return success;
}}
function execute() public onlyOwner {;
// This is where the reverting happens.
// The joinChallenge function calls forwarder.joinChallenge
// Here are some things that could cause rollbacks:
// 1. Invalid input: If _challenge is not a valid index for the challenge array.
// Solitude returns an error message
// "The arguments passed to joinChallenge are invalid."
revertReason = "Invalid challenge index";
// 2. Gas limits: The joinChallenge function may exceed the allowed gas limit.
// The gas cost of calling joinChallenge could be too high, causing the contract to exhaust its resources.
// In this case, Solitude returns an error message
revertReason = "Gas consumption exceeded";
// 3. Forwarder logic: If there is a problem with the forwarder function,
// it may cause a rollback to joinChallenge.
// Here's what could trigger this:
// 1. Internal Error: The forwarder encountered an internal error.
// This can be caused by a number of factors, such as faulty logic or incorrect assumptions.
revertReason = "Internal Forwarder Error";
// If a rollback occurs, we need to handle it properly
if (revertReason != "Invalid challenge index") {
// Handling rollbacks in the joinChallenge function...
// Check gas limit limits
GasLimitCheck();
}}
}}

Solution suggestions

• Input Validation

  : Validate the _challenge input to ensure that it is a valid field index or a specific value that can be passed to joinChallenge.

• Gas Limits: Verify that the forwarder.joinChallenge function has sufficient gas limits to handle calls from your forwarding contract.

• Forwarder Logic Checks

  : Implement checks within your forwarder logic to detect and prevent internal errors, such as incorrect assumptions or incorrect logic.

Additional Tip

• Monitor your forwarder logs for any issues that may cause rollbacks.

• Review the fuel price for the joinChallenge to ensure that it is reasonable and will not exceed the allowed limit.

• Test your freight forwarding contract thoroughly to identify possible regressions or edge cases.

• Consider implementing more robust input validation, gas limits, and error detection mechanisms to prevent rollbacks in the future.

By addressing these areas, you should be able to resolve the reason for the rollback for forwarder.execute and ensure that the joinChallenge function executes reliably.
