Here’s an article that explains this problem and provides recommendations for testing a Solidity contract using Remix:
Error understanding: ArrayTest.swapDataStruct memory[] copying to storage not yet supported'
![Ethereum: Array of Structs problem and how to test in Remix - Copying of type struct ArrayTest.swapDataStruct memory[] memory to storage not yet supported](https://grameensamajunnayanparishad.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/d9654839.png)
When you try to assign an array of structures (
ArrayTest.swapDataStruct) to a variable in your contract (for example,
memory[]) you run into a problem. The error message indicates that the compiler cannot copy this array to the underlying storage (i.e. the Ethereum blockchain).
This problem arises because Solidity, like other programming languages, has a strict type checking mechanism. When you declare an array of structs (
memory[] ArrayTest.swapDataStruct;), it essentially tries to assign the value to memory location 0x00. However, in many Solidity contracts, memory areas are not allocated until the
swapDataStructfunction is called.
Testing with Remix
To test your contract with Remix, you need to create a test instance of the contract and call its functions from a test script. Here's an example of how you can change your contract to solve this problem:
durability
pragma solidity ^0.8.0;
import "
contract ArrayTest {
// ... existing code ...
function swapDataStruct() public {
memory[] array memory = new Memory[1];
swapDataStruct(array);
}
function swapDataStruct(memory[] данные памяты) internal {
for (uint256 i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
data[i] = 10;
}
}
In this example, we created a
swapDataStructfunction that takes an integer array (
memory[]) and assigns a value to each element. We then use the
ArrayTest.swapDataStructfunction to call this new function.
Testing with Remix:
To check your contract with Remix:
- Create a new Solidity project in Remix.
Import the
ArrayTestcontract and create a new instance of the contract (
ArrayTest.sol
).
- Compile the contract (for example, use the command
solidity-coverage compile --minify --nohex ArrayTest.sol
).
- Run the contract using
remix run --network mainnet
.Now you can call the contract functions from the test script, for example like this:
javascript
const {init} = require('./ArrayTest');
module.exports = {
async test() {
constant instance = await init();
console.log(instance.swapDataStruct()); // prints [10]
}
};
````
By following these steps and using Remix to compile and execute your Solidity contract, you can successfully assign an array of structures to a variable in your contract and access its contents.
