1) enable reporter for imported contracts 2) gas-reporter discrepancies with mainnet

Hi @cgewecke ,

I realized that hardhat-gas-reporter only seems to report for contracts who were compiled with hardhat and thus have certain files associated with them in artifacts/ .

Is this correct?

In our integration testing we make use of forking and thus instantiate many contracts with await ethers.getContractAt(abi, addresss) , where the abi is in a pre-compiled/ folder.

It would be amazing if hardhat-gas-reporter would also report gas usage of methods called on those instances.

What would need to change for that to happen?

@gitpusha The remoteContracts option is now published with 1.0.2. And I suspect the discrepancy in gas readings is only fixable at hardhat.

Going to close this for now. Thanks for reporting all this stuff though.

Here in the contract I shared you can see the console.logs.

    function execViaRoute0AndOpenVault(TaskReceipt memory _taskReceipt) public {
        uint256 gasLeft = gasleft();
        IGelatoCore(gelatoCore).exec(_taskReceipt);
        console.log(
            "Gas Cost execViaRoute0AndOpenVault: %s",
            gasLeft - gasleft()
        );
    }

And here is the TX from mainnet which is almost identical to the execViaRoute0AndOpenVault test transaction: https://etherscan.io/tx/0xdc810ac1cdd34a613ac739eea49807f62c17ba31ec9b1c5516837c07c35c1ab6

As you can see gasUsed is 2,215,931 here which is closer to the console.log value.
