VM Standard Tracing

debug_standardTraceBadBlockToFile

Similar to debug_traceBadBlock, standardTraceBadBlockToFile accepts a bad block hash and will replay the bad block. It returns a list of file names containing tracing result. Note that the files will be stored in the machine that serves this API.

Client	Method Invocation
Console	debug.standardTraceBadBlockToFile(hash, [options])
RPC	{"method": "debug_standardTraceBadBlockToFile", "params": [hash, {}]}

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
hash	32-byte DATA	Hash of a block.
options	object	See standard tracing options.

Return Value

Type	Description
JSON array	A list of file names. Each represents a tracing result of a transaction. The format of a file name is block_{first 4 bytes of the block hash}-{transaction index}-{first 4 bytes of the transaction hash}-{random string}.

Example

Console

> debug.standardTraceBadBlockToFile("0x1d5ba00e313a81ae6d409d459c153327072665d9ea2f47608369722baf0cfbb6")

debug_standardTraceBlockToFile

Similar to debug_traceBlock, standardTraceBlockToFile accepts a block hash and will replay the block that is already present in the database. It returns a list of file names containing tracing result. Note that the files will be stored in the machine that serves this API.

Client	Method Invocation
Console	debug.standardTraceBlockToFile(hash, [options])
RPC	{"method": "debug_standardTraceBlockToFile", "params": [hash, {}]}

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
hash	32-byte DATA	Hash of a block.
options	object	See standard tracing options.

Return Value

Type	Description
JSON array	A list of file names. Each represents a tracing result of a transaction. The format of a file name is block_{first 4 bytes of the block hash}-{transaction index}-{first 4 bytes of the transaction hash}-{random string}.

Standard Tracing Options

You may give trace API function a secondary optional argument, which specifies the options for this specific call. The possible options are:

• disableStorage: BOOL. Setting this to true will disable storage capture (default = false).

• disableMemory: BOOL. Setting this to true will disable memory capture (default = false).

• disableStack: BOOL. Setting this to true will disable stack capture (default = false).

• txHash: string. Setting this value will trace only the specified transaction.
