CCIP CCT -> BURNMINTERC20 -> mint() function Issue.

[yazibshah]

function mint(address account, uint256 amount) external override onlyRole(MINTER_ROLE) {
if (account == address(this)) revert InvalidRecipient(account);
if (i_maxSupply != 0 && totalSupply() + amount > i_maxSupply) revert MaxSupplyExceeded(totalSupply() + amount);

_mint(account, amount);

}

When attempting to override the mint function in a CCT WETH smart contract to enable automatic WETH minting upon ETH deposit, the current implementation restricts direct minting to user accounts. This prevents seamless ETH-to-WETH conversion. Need guidance on safely overriding the function to support this functionality while maintaining security and compliance with the MINTER_ROLE and max supply checks.

Could you not mint to the msg.sender when they deposit native eth?

[yazibshah]

I want to give every one as a minter role.
everyone can mint weth when they deposit eth.

but the problem is I can't override this mint function.

i have to be writing other function like depositEthAndMintToken()
here I'm directly calling _mint function after applying all logics.

so please give me a better a solution so I can override this mint function.

smartcontractkit/chainlink-evm#117

I made the mint function virtual in this PR. Does that solve your issue?

FYI the EVM contracts have moved to chainlink-evm. The chainlink repo contracts are frozen and only available for reference but are out of date.

[yazibshah]

i just check.

[yazibshah]

yes you have done but

@chainlink-evm
is that not published on npm?

because I'm not use it on remix.

Can you please guide me?

The chainlink-evm repo is the main chainlink/contracts NPM package. https://www.npmjs.com/package/@chainlink/contracts

There is no new version that contains these changes yet, the next release will have them.
