data did not match any variant of untagged enum SerializableTransactionType

[PatrickAlphaC]

Component

Anvil

Have you ensured that all of these are up to date?

• Foundry
• Foundryup

What version of Foundry are you on?

forge 0.2.0 (31c24b0 2024-11-14T00:20:56.222819000Z)

What command(s) is the bug in?

anvil --load-state

Operating System

macOS (Apple Silicon)

Describe the bug

Running:

anvil --load-state /path/anvil_data/state.json

Gives me:

error: invalid value '/path/anvil_data/state.json' for '--load-state <PATH>': failed to parse json file: "/path/anvil_data/state.json": data did not match any variant of untagged enum SerializableTransactionType at line 1 column 11125

However, this command worked on a previously working edition of foundry & anvil.

I was able to revert to an older version where I did not get such an error with the following command:

foundryup -C 1d2379a22a78d48a6f1a159868ca5978f31c5462

Here is the block that was erroring:

Where line 1 column 11125 was pointing to the spot I have marked Error here.

This state.json was created on an older version of anvil using --dump-state originally.

This transaction has gasLimit field name, however, it was changed to gas recently in alloy (as this is correct per JSON-RPC spec). Changing the field name in the JSON file should fix this

@grandizzy @mattsse unsure if we need to take any action here? eg we could add gasLimit back as an alias to alloy

[PatrickAlphaC]

That did the job! Thank you.

Maybe flag a warning that this was deprecated? Although, IMO it's unlikely a lot of people use this feature... Maybe its OK just as a breaking change.

[grandizzy]

I'm OK with taking no action here, since the breaking change is already introduced and an workaround exists.
Also, in scope of v1.0 we're looking into removing all deprecation (as in #8931, deprecated cheatcodes, etc.) so not sure we should introduce the warning now to just remove it in couple of weeks. @zerosnacks wdyt?

[zerosnacks]

I tend to agree, this ticket can serve as a reference for anyone that does happen to run into the issue. The new gas field is JSON-RPC spec compliant whereas the previous gasLimit is not. For now marking as won't fix

[zerosnacks]

Re-opening, this will be resolved as part of #9280 (comment)

It looks like there have been other breaking changes in Alloy that should be handled gracefully, including this one.
