Welcome to your first step in leveraging yield farming on the BNB Chain and Fantom Chain using the Alpaca Contract! This guide will walk you through the setup process, ensuring that you can efficiently compile, test, and run your contracts.

Local Development Setup

Before diving into the development, ensure you are using Node version 14 or higher. Here’s a step-by-step process to get started:

Step 1: Install Dependencies

1. First, copy the .env.example file and rename it to .env in your project folder.
2. Next, run the command yarn to install all necessary dependencies.

Step 2: Compile Contracts

Once dependencies are installed, compile the contracts by running:

yarn compile

After executing this command, a new folder called typechain will be created in your project workspace. However, don’t forget to navigate to typechain/index.ts and delete any duplicate lines inside this file to proceed without issues.

Step 3: Run Tests with Hardhat

Testing is a critical part of development. To run tests using Hardhat, use the following command:

yarn test

Testing with Forge

In addition to Hardhat, you can run tests with Forge. Here’s how to set it up:

Step 4: Install Forge

1. Use the following command to install Forge:

$ curl -L https://foundry.paradigm.xyz | bash

2. Next, install Forge and Cast by running:

$ foundryup

Step 5: Test with Forge

Finally, to test using Forge, execute:

$ forge test

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during the setup or testing process, here are some troubleshooting tips:

• Ensure your Node.js version is set to the correct version (node@=14).
• Confirm that your dependencies were installed correctly by checking the node_modules directory.
• If duplicate lines persist after compiling, refer back to the typechain/index.ts file.
