[Bug] Decode the input data of tx

[MHarisAshfaq]

Bug report

I am trying to debug the input data from tx https://arbiscan.io/tx/0x005bc2cc2715a77d8ac20524789a99bc05ca4048a3c9d78c5ad525c7139df9cf

This is my input data which I am using to decode 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

let decoded = ethereum.decode(
        "(uint256,uint256,uint256[],bytes32,address[],bytes32,uint64,bytes)",
        tx.input
      );

And here is the abi of function

{
    "inputs": [
      { "internalType": "uint256", "name": "remoteChainId", "type": "uint256" },
      { "internalType": "uint256", "name": "blockNonce", "type": "uint256" },
      {
        "internalType": "uint256[]",
        "name": "invalidBlockNonces",
        "type": "uint256[]"
      },
      {
        "internalType": "bytes32",
        "name": "finalizersHash",
        "type": "bytes32"
      },
      {
        "internalType": "address[]",
        "name": "finalizers",
        "type": "address[]"
      },
      { "internalType": "bytes32", "name": "salt", "type": "bytes32" },
      { "internalType": "uint64", "name": "expiry", "type": "uint64" },
      { "internalType": "bytes", "name": "multiSignature", "type": "bytes" }
    ],
    "name": "finalize",
    "outputs": [],
    "stateMutability": "nonpayable",
    "type": "function"
  }

It seems decoding is not working.

Thanks for opening an issue @MHarisAshfaq!

In this case, the type string you're specifying:

"(uint256,uint256,uint256[],bytes32,address[],bytes32,uint64,bytes)"

is for a tuple which contains dynamically sized array/bytes elements (uint256[], bytes, etc). Dynamic tuples like this expect the input data to be prepended with a 32 byte offset representing where the inner data begins.

You can try prepending the block with 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000020; the number 32 itself encoded as a 32-byte hex string. This should result in a valid block:

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000020 <-- Note this extra 32 byte offset
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000065

This should successfully decode.
