Ethereum: Queued transactions stuck on MetaMask connection to Anvil (Foundry)
When I started building a decentralized application (dApp) using the popular Foundry, I came across an unexpected issue with the transaction queue stuck in MetaMask. Despite following the instructions and troubleshooting tips, the issue still persisted, frustrating me.
Settings
I started by creating a new contract using the Foundry platform. The contract was successfully deployed and I had an interface set up to interact with it. So, I used Anvil (Foundry foundry) to run a test chain and imported my MetaMask wallet address. This allowed me to connect my MetaMask account to my Anvil instance.
Issue
Unfortunately, the transactions in the MetaMask queue were stuck, preventing the application from working as expected. The issue seems to be related to the connection between MetaMask and the Anvil instance. I was unable to resolve the issue with simple troubleshooting steps or by consulting the Foundry documentation.
Issue resolved
After further investigation, I discovered that the pending transactions were actually blocked in MetaMask due to a misconfiguration of the account settings. Specifically, the connection to Anvil (foundry) was not properly configured to connect to the MetaMask account. As a result, the transactions were stuck in the queue and could not be executed.
Workaround and Solution
To resolve this issue, I performed the following steps:
- Check Account Settings: I double-checked the MyEtherWallet (MEW) and MetaMask account settings to make sure they were properly connected.
- Check Anvil Connection
: I double-checked the connection between MEW and the Anvil instance to make sure it was properly configured.
- Reset MetaMask Account Link: Reset your MetaMask account link by deleting your saved private key and re-entering it with your new wallet address.
Conclusion
This experience highlights how important it is to double check and verify your account settings, as well as ensure that the connection between tools like Anvil (foundry) and MetaMask is set up correctly. If you are experiencing similar issues, I recommend checking your account settings and connection to Anvil before attempting to connect your MetaMask wallet.
I hope this article provides you with valuable tips for troubleshooting MetaMask transaction queues related to Anvil (foundry).
