aztecprotocol Build Escrow Contracts
Compile the generated Aztec escrow contract and refresh TypeScript bindings.
Prerequisites
- Aztec CLI
5.1.0 - Bun
Commands assume PROJECT_DIR=aztec-otc-desk unless already inside the generated project.
Build Flow
Token artifact is built by root postinstall from deps/aztec-standards. Escrow artifact is rebuilt from packages/contracts.
cd "${PROJECT_DIR:-aztec-otc-desk}/packages/contracts"
bun run build
This runs:
aztec compile
aztec codegen target --outdir ts/src/artifacts/escrow -f
bun run scripts/add_artifacts.ts
The generated add_artifacts.ts copies target/otc_escrow-OTCEscrow.json into ts/src/artifacts/escrow/OTCEscrow.json and rewrites the generated JSON import to ./OTCEscrow.json.
To rebuild the token artifact manually from the project root:
bun run scripts/token.ts
bun run scripts/token.ts --skip-submodules
Source Map
packages/contracts/src/main.nr- escrow contract.packages/contracts/src/types/config_note.nr- immutable config note.packages/contracts/src/types/state_note.nr- mutable lifecycle state.packages/contracts/ts/src/artifacts/- generated TS bindings and JSON artifacts.packages/contracts/ts/src/- SDK helpers: contract calls, manifest, fees, precision utilities.
If a build failure requires Noir, note, event, token, lifecycle, or SDK behavior changes, switch to write-escrow-contract.
Tests
Generated projects use TypeScript/Bun localnet tests only. Keep Aztec.nr/TXE scripts out of package.json.
The contracts package test script should be:
"test": "bun test --preload ./ts/test/setup.ts --timeout 300000 ./ts/test/escrow.test.ts"
The preload shim provides expect.addEqualityTesters for Aztec JS packages, and the explicit test file prevents Bun from discovering deps/aztec-standards tests. Localnet tests take minutes; run targeted bun test ... -t "<name>" while iterating, then one full bun run test.
