Summary

  • The bug is in the Python wrapper layer (hypersync/__init__.py) #55: CallDecoder.decode_inputs passed the input builtin through instead of inputs, so it raised TypeError: ... 'builtin_function_or_method' ... cannot be converted to 'Sequence'. decode_inputs_sync called decode_input_syncs, which doesn't exist, so it raised AttributeError. Neither method could ever succeed.

  • Fix CallDecoder type hints/docs for "None" results #56: all six CallDecoder decode methods now return list[Optional[list[DecodedSolValue]]], matching the Rust binding (Vec<Option<Vec<_>>>). Docstrings, which were copy-pasted from the log Decoder, now describe calldata and say when an entry is None.

  • Adds tests/test_call_decoder.py, which needs no network, and a Test workflow that builds the extension with maturin and runs pytest on PRs. The repo had no test CI before this.

  • Panic → None: CallDecoder returned an uncatchable PanicException (BaseException) for empty 0x calldata (every plain ETH transfer in decode_transactions_input), input shorter than a selector, a known selector with truncated args, or non-hex input. decode_impl in src/decode_call.rs now returns None for these.

  • get_with_rate_limit is now typed Tuple[Optional[QueryResponse], RateLimitInfo]. The response is None on HTTP 429, as src/lib.rs already did.

  • The CHANGELOG has a Known issue entry: decoded values stay wrong until the Rust fix below is released and bumped in.

Upstream bug found while testing

With the wrapper fixed, the decoded values were still wrong: transfer(0x…dEaD, 1000) came back as 0x0000…0000 and a huge number. hypersync_client::CallDecoder::decode_input passes the whole calldata, including the 4-byte selector, to alloy's abi_decode_input, so every argument is shifted by 4 bytes. It also panics on calldata shorter than 4 bytes, such as 0x for a plain ETH transfer. A fix is going up separately in hypersync-client-rust. test_decode_inputs_values is marked xfail(strict=True), so it will fail loudly once the fixed crate is bumped here; drop the marker then.

Test plan

  • pytest tests: 6 passed, 1 xfailed
  • The new malformed-calldata tests against the old decode_impl: 4 failed (panics)
  • The same tests against unmodified main: 2 failed, with the TypeError and AttributeError from the issue

Review

The PR was reviewed by a Claude subagent and by Codex (gpt-6-astra, ultra effort). Their findings that are addressed in 785cb14:

  • Panics on short/malformed calldata, and the undocumented None cases
  • The CHANGELOG claimed the decoder was fixed while its values were still wrong
  • No tests for malformed input
  • get_with_rate_limit hint (Codex)

Left for a follow-up because they're out of scope and unreachable today: the unused ArrowStream/EventStream/QueryResponseStream wrappers await self.inner.recv() without return, and the stream* return hints name those wrappers while the methods return the raw Rust stream.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Fixed call-input decoding so raw inputs are processed correctly in both synchronous and asynchronous use.
    • Decoding now returns None when an input has no matching signature, including unmatched selectors and missing transaction or trace inputs.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified when decoding may return None and updated the documented return types for call-input decoding methods.
  • Tests
    • Added offline checks for successful transfer decoding and unmatched selectors.

decode_inputs passed the `input` builtin instead of `inputs`, and
decode_inputs_sync called a non-existent `decode_input_syncs`, so both
always raised. Return hints now reflect that entries are None when no
signature matches.

Adds offline pytest coverage and a Test workflow to run it on PRs.

Closes #55

Walkthrough

The CallDecoder input methods now forward raw inputs to the matching inner methods and use optional return annotations. Tests cover sync and async decoding, and a GitHub Actions workflow installs the extension and runs the test suite.

Changes: CallDecoder input decoding

Layer / File(s) Summary
Decoder methods and return contracts
hypersync/__init__.py, CHANGELOG.md
Raw-input methods now forward inputs to the matching inner methods. Input-decoding methods use optional return annotations and document when decoding returns None.
Decoder tests and CI workflow
tests/test_call_decoder.py, .github/workflows/test.yml
Tests cover sync and async decoding of a known transfer input and an unmatched selector. A strict expected-failure test records the selector-stripping limitation. The workflow installs the extension and runs pytest.

Priority: Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: sozinm, ozgrakkurt

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 96408

The decoder methods now run, but short calldata can crash the process-level handling with a panic, and decoded argument values may be wrong until the upstream decoder is fixed. Add a short-input guard before merging, and decide whether to ship these methods with the known value-decoding limitation.

Comment thread hypersync/__init__.py Resolved
Comment thread tests/test_call_decoder.py Resolved
CallDecoder's decode_impl unwrapped hex and ABI-decode errors, and the
upstream decoder indexes input[0..4] unchecked, so empty (plain ETH
transfer), short, truncated or non-hex calldata raised an uncatchable
PanicException. These now decode to None, as documented.

Also types get_with_rate_limit's response as Optional (None on 429) and
notes in the changelog that decoded values stay wrong until the upstream
selector fix (hypersync-client-rust#144) is bumped in.
