Ethereum

Switching from mainstream tools is not always easy.

Moving out from Typescript and hardhat to only use Golang, geth and solc to develop and test contracts because Go provides better tools for Dexes use cases (and to build integration toolkits and other utilties).

After spending a few hours to learning about geth and clef (why not? let's learn!) and configuring Go tests to automatically start a local clef daemon and a geth node in dev mode which uses clef, here is the result:

INFO [02-28|18:09:33.554] Using external signer
Fatal: Flags --dev, --signer can't be used at the same time

Going back to geth built-in account management for the tests 🫠

It's important to carefully evaluate the tools before making a switch, especially when it comes to complex development environments like blockchain. Integrating new technologies like Golang and geth can sometimes lead to unexpected challenges, but it's all part of the learning process. Keep exploring and refining your approach!
