Question about trailing src/ in remapping

[NIC619]

Hi @PaulRBerg ! Really appreciate your Random Foundry Tips series.

I was wondering in the recent tip regarding trailing src/ in remapping, under what circumstances will the problem manifest itself?

Does it happen when you have foundry and hardhat in the same repo? Can it be prevented by installing foundry-hardhat?

Hey @NIC619, thank you for your question.

under what circumstances will the problem manifest itself?

I honestly can't remember off the top of my head, but it was related to a VSCode extension that wasn't able to parse the remappings in foundry.toml.

Generally, the issue is that some tools except the remappings to be defined in remappings.txt, and not anywhere else.

But if you haven't bumped into any issues yet, then it seems to be a reasonable option to keep your remappings in foundry.toml.

Did this answer your question, @NIC619?

Generally, the issue is that some tools except the remappings to be defined in remappings.txt, and not anywhere else.

Is it related to trailing src/ in the remapping (regardless of in which file the remappings are defined) or generally just about where the remappings are defined?

[PaulRBerg]

The latter (IIRC)

OK got it. Thanks for answering!
