Error: no matching event (argument="topichash"

There seems to be an issue in latest ethers.js v5. It looks like it try to parse event from the log even if these come from contract down the chain (and not from the contract whose abi is known)

Error: no matching event (argument="topichash", value="0xddf252ad1be2c89b69c2b068fc378daa952ba7f163c4a11628f55a4df523b3ef", code=INVALID_ARGUMENT, version=abi/5.0.0-beta.145)

Looking at the code I guess it should filter out log that originate from a different address than the contract address :

ethers.js/src.ts/contract.ts

Line 278 in 2987925

receipt.events = receipt.logs.map((log) => {

But it would be cool if we could somehow set address to abi mapping in ethers so ethers could parse these automatically

Actually, maybe it should still try to decode the event and simply return null.

That way, we can easily support such event by adding the event to the contract ABI.

Exactly my thoughts.

Thanks for the PR. I’ll get to it today. :)
