List of improvements

[wasm-forge]

The ongoing list of issues to fix and features to implement:

• Add generator for candid values
• Add an individual canister via command
• The ic-test tool needs to detect if .dfx is available and report a corresponding message
• The alloy dependencies are not needed if the project under test does not test EVM contracts
• Convenient user interface to ask user additional questions via CLI UI
• order alphabetically canister names
• only generate canister types "custom" and "rust"
• search for foundry.toml in subfolders as well
• make sure foundry.toml paths work and they are relative to foundry.toml
• keep $HOME unexpanded when saving into ic-test.json
• the default state for not generating frontend canister is always reset, it should remember this configuration on the next launch
• panic error when there are no canisters found, rather quit with a reasonable error message
• "ic-test new" should automatically go into interactive mode just like "ic-test" alone
• do not try to do "dfx build" internally, only ask user to do it
• dfx.json must exist when launching the tool, otherwise show an error message
• dfx.json does not have to exist if skip_dfx_json is true
• option to launch the generator from a different project root (--root parameter)

binding generator improvements:

• into generated files, add #!cfg attr to ignore fmt warnings
• if no init arguments, the // init args comment is not needed
• rename test var name to the less generic icp_test
• generate an example method call let result = canister_name./*method_name*/(todo!()).call().await;
• fix generating numbers, when no concrete number value was present in the candid value
• more generator tests
• fix generator sometimes mixing todo! with the structure/enum name

convenience improvements:

• if foundry.toml not found, ask user to enter its path
• Beautify argument names in the generated deploy function (change arg0, arg1, ... to something else)
• Beautify argument names in the generated canister rust functions (change arg0, arg1, ... to actual names from Candid, where possible)
• Calling generated methods requiring text arguments forces to explicitly convert &str to String
• it is easy to forget to call "call()" after building the canister call, introduce #[must_use] to get a warning
