First Steps with Foundry-ZKsync

This section provides an overview of the forge command line tool. We demonstrate how to create a new project, compile, and test it.

To start a new project with Foundry-ZKsync, use forge init:

$ forge init hello_foundry

Let’s check out what forge generated for us:

$ cd hello_foundry
$ tree . -d -L 1
.
β”œβ”€β”€ lib
β”œβ”€β”€ script
β”œβ”€β”€ src
└── test

4 directories

We can build the project with forge build --zksync:

$ forge build --zksync

Compiling 27 files with zksolc and solc 0.8.26
zksolc and solc 0.8.26 finished in 3.97s
Compiler run successful!

And run the tests with forge test --zksync:

$ forge test --zksync
Compiling 25 files with Solc 0.8.27
Solc 0.8.27 finished in 902.81ms
Compiler run successful!

No files changed, compilation skipped

You can always print help for any subcommand (or their subcommands) by adding --help at the end.
