is there a way to callStatic func like in ethers js?

[jonathantyar]

just try out go-ethereum its worked great so far. but had problem when trying to call static func like in ether js. using transactionOpt to not send the transaction. the command is worked, but abigen only return transacction and error where it should send another value. How to get the value i need on these transaction.

this is how i call to contract func, with nosend and signer params

	trx, err := client.Collect(&bind.TransactOpts{
		Signer: func(addr common.Address, trx *types.Transaction) (*types.Transaction, error) {
			return trx, nil
		},
		NoSend: true,
	}, cex.INonfungiblePositionManagerCollectParams{
		TokenId:    big.NewInt(tokenId),
		Recipient:  address.Address(),
		Amount0Max: bigTotal,
		Amount1Max: bigTotal,
	})

this is generated code from abigen, it shows comment that a func should return 3 values, but instead abigen generated just 2 values

// Collect is a paid mutator transaction binding the contract method 0xfc6f7865.
//
// Solidity: function collect((uint256,address,uint128,uint128) params) payable returns(uint256 amount0, uint256 amount1)
func (_UNISWAPv3 *UNISWAPv3Transactor) Collect(opts *bind.TransactOpts, params INonfungiblePositionManagerCollectParams) (*types.Transaction, error) {
	return _UNISWAPv3.contract.Transact(opts, "collect", params)
}

// Collect is a paid mutator transaction binding the contract method 0xfc6f7865.
//
// Solidity: function collect((uint256,address,uint128,uint128) params) payable returns(uint256 amount0, uint256 amount1)
func (_UNISWAPv3 *UNISWAPv3Session) Collect(params INonfungiblePositionManagerCollectParams) (*types.Transaction, error) {
	return _UNISWAPv3.Contract.Collect(&_UNISWAPv3.TransactOpts, params)
}

func (_UNISWAPv3 *UNISWAPv3TransactorSession) Collect(params INonfungiblePositionManagerCollectParams) (*types.Transaction, error) {
	return _UNISWAPv3.Contract.Collect(&_UNISWAPv3.TransactOpts, params)
}

i can call this func on ethers js using callstatic and it return the result i need

  const encoded = {
    tokenId: positionId,
    recipient: FROM,
    amount0Max: MAX,
    amount1Max: MAX,
  }

  const trx = await contract.callStatic.collect(encoded)

  const formatUnits = (amt: Number, units?: number): string =>
    ethers.utils
      .formatUnits(ethers.BigNumber.from(amt).toString(), units || 18)
      .toString()

  const amount0 = formatUnits(trx.amount0, 8)
  const amount1 = formatUnits(trx.amount1)

  console.log(`Token 0: ${amount0} | Token 1: ${amount1}`)

While we don't have this feature right now, there is a workaround: encode the call yourself, submit using CallContract with ethclient, and decode the result using accounts/abi.

Thanks @fjl, its works using CallContract. Changed i made below

GeneratedCode :

// Solidity: function collect((uint256,address,uint128,uint128) params) payable returns(uint256 amount0, uint256 amount1)
func (_UNISWAPv3 *UNISWAPv3Transactor) Collect(opts *bind.TransactOpts, params INonfungiblePositionManagerCollectParams) (*types.Transaction, error) {
	return _UNISWAPv3.contract.Transact(opts, "collect", params)
}

Updated Code using CallContract :

// Solidity: function collect((uint256,address,uint128,uint128) params) payable returns(uint256 amount0, uint256 amount1)
func (_UNISWAPv3 *UNISWAPv3Transactor) Collect(opts *bind.CallOpts, params INonfungiblePositionManagerCollectParams) (*big.Int, *big.Int, error) {
	var out []interface{}
	err := _UNISWAPv3.contract.Call(opts, &out, "collect", params)

	if err != nil {
		return new(big.Int), new(big.Int), err
	}

	out0 := *abi.ConvertType(out[0], new(big.Int)).(*big.Int)
	out1 := *abi.ConvertType(out[1], new(big.Int)).(*big.Int)

	return &out0, &out1, err
}

This becomes possible via #26782

Just stumbled across this, thanks so much @jonathantyar for your example.

It feels like this is an area where abigen is a little inflexible compared to the competition. Are there any plans to address this? Perhaps using the pull I see s1na has posted?

One workaround here is that you can modify the abi file that is used for abigen to update the state mutability of the function you want to call. For example, I'm running into a similar issue with multicall since the functions are payable. Since I don't need to update the blockchain state, I just modified the stateMutability from payable to view and abigen now does what I need

This method is both good and simple.

I think with ABigen V2 this is now possible, please reopen if its not yet
