gas counter in test sums deploy cost to first transaction

[3esmit]

The gas is counted incorrect in the first time .send() is invoked, because it also sums the cost of deploy the transaction.

I had to do a workaround (see status-im/account-contracts@291fd9b#diff-8ae90872f0505462a211bc1fa2f5f03eR28 ) to show proper gas, which is a transaction to anywhere before doing the other transactions I want to test.

Just to be sure, you mean the gas counted in the little parenthesizes next to the test name?
eg: verifyMultiProof > deploy cost (12345 Wei Gas)

So 12345 is wrong because it adds the cost of deploying the contracts?

Yes! Exactly. So I am developing something and I got scared that I screw it up because it was too expansive! So I was refactoring until figure out that the problem was with the gas counter, not with my logic.

I would expect that this counter only shows the gas cost into the transactions that occurred within, not what happened before (such as deploying through Embark config):

This cost is added to the first case of the tests.

Yeah you are totally right, it's a mistake on our part.

We'll fix it soon:tm:

Thanks for reporting it!
