In this week’s Weekly Nuts and Bolts, Walnut introduces a fresh set of enhancements for transaction debugging on Starknet, making the experience smoother and more user-friendly. Let’s take a closer look at what’s new:
Streamlined Call Trace for Easier Navigation
• Walnut has refined the call trace view by removing unnecessary argument/result namespaces and skipping system arguments. This change declutters function call displays, allowing developers to focus on core elements, making debugging faster and easier.
2. New Debugger Keyboard Shortcuts
• Debugging workflows just got quicker with new keyboard shortcuts. Users can now use b to step back, n to step into a function, and o to step over it. These shortcuts save time and improve efficiency for developers navigating through complex transaction code.
3. Enhanced Error Messages in Transaction Simulation
• Error messages in the Transaction Simulation Dialog have been improved to guide users more effectively through form completion. This enhancement helps prevent common errors, ensuring smoother simulation runs and a more streamlined experience.
4. CASM Instruction Retrieval Bug Fix
• Walnut has fixed a bug affecting the retrieval of CASM instructions, which previously led to missed instructions in certain transactions. Now, all CASM instructions are reliably fetched, ensuring a more accurate and consistent debugging process.
5. Support for Custom Network Chain IDs
• For developers working with custom networks, Walnut has added chain ID support in the transaction execution context. This update is essential for external execution, making it easier to work across various network environments.
6. Improved Mobile Interface
• The mobile experience has been polished with the addition of a new burger navigation menu that houses settings and simulation options. Walnut has also fixed the footer, ensuring it remains positioned at the bottom of the screen for better navigation on mobile devices.
