# Hardhat Mainnet Fork Testing

All that's needed here is to set up your SDK Core Framework object and you'll be on your way to easily simulating mainnet Superfluid actions the way you would [normally](/superfluid/developers/sdk-core/functionality.md).

First, make sure you have these required imports and make yourself an `sf` global variable for your Framework object.

```
const { Framework } = require("@superfluid-finance/sdk-core");
const { ethers } = require("hardhat");

// Superfluid Global Variable
let sf;
```

Then, create the Framework object, finding the Resolver address from your desired chain on the [Contract Addresses](/superfluid/developers/networks.md) page.

```
before(async function () {

    sf = await Framework.create({
        provider: ethers.provider,  
        resolverAddress: <<resolver address from your desired chain>>,
        networkName: "hardhat",
        dataMode: "WEB3_ONLY",
        protocolReleaseVersion: "v1",
        chainId: 31337
    });
    
    ...
```

#### Now You're All Set!

Notice that there was no need to deploy the Framework is already exists on the chain you are testing.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://superfluid.gitbook.io/superfluid/developers/testing-guide/in-depth/hardhat-mainnet-fork-testing.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
