Describe the bug

After restart, anvil loads state from previously stored one, but starts count blocks from 1 again. I am running it as:

anvil --port 7545 --accounts 200 --mnemonic '........' --block-time 12 --state ./state.json --gas-limit 30000000

Also running into this

I see this only dumps the state

foundry/crates/anvil/src/eth/backend/db.rs

Line 335 in 0232ee5

pub accounts: BTreeMap<Address, SerializableAccountRecord>,

maybe we should consider also including the block number etc?

Yeah this would be awesome feature to have. For my use case I need to maintain transactions and block number between restarts. If someone can pointing me to right direction, I can open a PR/.

[mattsse]

totally, forgot about this sorry.
will try to squeeze in this week.

Had problem with this bug. I want to launch anvil on a separate server and connect subgraph to it, so we can use it as a private dev testnet, but I use state file to deploy contracts and setup state (20k tx)

I would really love to see this fixed. It would make it possible for me to run Anvil instead of Ganache or Hardhat for my application.

hi - would love to see this fixed as well. Our use case uses block number as checkpointing so being able to restore state including block number on restart would be huge

[mattsse]

fixing as we speak,

very sorry for the delay
