bug(`anvil` / `forge script`): `dumpState` only returns wallet balances, regression since v1.1

[martinvol]

With forge 1.1, when we did vm.dumpState, the whole state of he script was dumped. We're using this to generate a genesis block using a forked version of Optimism's L2Genesis.s.sol.

I've now upgraded to forge 1.4, because it's the earliest version that support anvil's --celo flag.

Documentation now states that the behaviour of dumpState only dumps wallet balances, with only the accounts key present in the json.

    /// Dump a genesis JSON file's `allocs` to disk.
    function dumpState(string calldata pathToStateJson) external;

The script uses cheatcodes to set states, so we can't really broadcast tx to anvil and then dump anvil's state.

Is there an option to support this on newer versions?

Hi @martinvol, I believe this is related to the REVM bump that happened since 1.1, would you have a JSON file which has the output you are expecting?

[martinvol]

Yes, exactly.

Hi @martinvol, I think I earlier misunderstood this to be a forge script issue rather than an anvil issue, I believe you are referring to the dumpState API endpoint, not the cheatcode.

[zerosnacks]

@martinvol could you share a minimal reproducible?

[martinvol]

I am referring to the calls in this documentation, that calls it cheatcodes.
