When an execution result reverts with an error, the output bytes contain an ABI-encoded error string.
It would be convenient if EDR exposes an easy way of decoding this to the error string.

API for decoding ABI-encoded bytecode
Example (generated using ChatGPT)
Could you please decode this error string returned from executing an Ethereum contract: 0x08c379a000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000200000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000038456967656e506f642e676574506172656e74426c6f636b526f6f743a20696e76616c696420626c6f636b20726f6f742072657475726e65640000000000000000
To decode this error string, let's break down the structure and translate it into human-readable form. The string here appears to follow the standard format for Ethereum contract error messages encoded with ABI (Application Binary Interface) encoding.
Structure of the Error String
The error string can be divided as follows:
Function Selector: The first 4 bytes (0x08c379a0) represent the error type.
Data: The remaining part contains the error message in encoded form.
Step 1: Decode the Function Selector
The function selector 0x08c379a0 corresponds to the Error(string) signature in Solidity.
This is a standard way in Ethereum to indicate an error has occurred with a string message.
Step 2: Decode the Error Message
The next part encodes the actual error message as follows:
Offset: The next 32 bytes (0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000020) point to where the string data begins.
Length: The following 32 bytes (0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000038) indicate the length of the error message in bytes. Here, it's 0x38 in hexadecimal, which is 56 in decimal.
Message: The remaining bytes represent the ASCII-encoded message:
456967656e506f642e676574506172656e74426c6f636b526f6f743a20696e76616c696420626c6f636b20726f6f742072657475726e6564.
When decoded, this ASCII string translates to:
Message: EigenPod.getParentBlockRoot: invalid block root returned
Final Decoding Summary
The error message indicates that the Ethereum contract attempted to retrieve a "block root," but it returned an invalid value. This suggests an issue within the function getParentBlockRoot in the EigenPod contract, possibly due to either invalid inputs or a malfunction in retrieving the required data.
This should help in diagnosing what might have caused this specific failure in the contract execution.
