simulate
Overview
Taq simulate is used to simulate the behavior of an entrypoint in a given smart contract. It takes an initial storage value, and the input parameters of the entrypoint and will execute the associated code on a running Flextesa sandbox, and return the results
note
taq simulate is executed by a Tezos node. The current implementation of the Tezos Client plugin requires a running Flextesa node. Before running taq typecheck, you will need to install the Flextesa plugin and start up a sandbox taq start sandbox local
Plugin Implementations
This task is implemented by the following plugins:
| Plugin Name | Description |
|---|---|
@taqueria/plugin-tezos-client | Provides an abstraction of tezos-client |
Command

note
The storage parameter is mandatory, but can be omitted if the contract has an initial storage value defined in config.json
