Problem

For the program in the steps below, the aliased type name is missing from the types in the generated json abi. I made some sample aliased types, but I believe that it's a general problem for all aliases.

I came across it when FuelLabs/fuels-ts#3032. It's not a showstopper, it's just that the types won't be shown to the end user under the alias but rather as the actual type the alias is pointing to (e.g. not AliasedString but the equivalent of str[5] which is string in our case).

Steps

contract;

struct MyStruct {
    a: u32,
}

type AliasedTuple = (AssetId, u32);
type AliasedArray = [u32; 4];
type AliasedString = str[5];
type AliasedStruct = MyStruct;

abi MyContract {
    fn aliased_tuple(input: AliasedTuple) -> u32;
    fn aliased_array(input: AliasedArray) -> u32;
    fn aliased_string(input: AliasedString) -> u32;
    fn aliased_struct(input: AliasedStruct) -> u32;
}

impl MyContract for Contract {
    fn aliased_tuple(input: AliasedTuple) -> u32 {
        4
    }
    fn aliased_array(input: AliasedArray) -> u32 {
        4
    }
    fn aliased_string(input: AliasedString) -> u32 {
        4
    }
    fn aliased_struct(input: AliasedStruct) -> u32 {
        4
    }
}
