Stuck Writing Foundry Deployment Script for ERC20 - Need Clear Guidance

[Alorchijioke1]

Hey everyone,

I'm using Foundry and running make anvil, but my terminal keeps endlessly printing logs like:

Block Number: 1
Block Hash: 0x...
Block Time: "Fri, 27 Jun 2025 10:16:05 +0000"
This starts from block 1 and just keeps incrementing every second — forever.

Here’s what I’ve tried:

Removed --steps-tracing from the Makefile

Confirmed my deploy script has no console.log or block logging

Ran grep to check for block.number or Block Number in my entire codebase — nothing found

Verified no background processes are running with ps aux

Even rebooted my Mac completely

The make anvil command in my Makefile looks like this now:

makefile

anvil :; anvil -m 'test test test test test test test test test test test junk' --block-time 1
I’m not using cast, not running any frontend app or node watcher. Just plain Foundry + VS Code. Still getting this log spam every second and can’t find the source.

Any idea what might be causing this or how to trace it?

Thanks in advance 🙏

--block-time 1 enables mining every second, simply remove it if you don't need it

if not enabled it will create a block on demand
