Mac M1 Max `anchor test --skip-local-validator` infinite looop

Question

I'm running solana v1.13.7 locally for solana-test-validator on my Mac M1 Max (13.3).

You can see my left terminal has the local test validator is running on port 8899.

The right side, I am running anchor test --skip-local-validator, the test tries deploying the local program but repeats over and over again.

Any pointers?

Answer 1

Program deployment works through the TPU port along with the RPC port, so there's probably an issue sending transactions to the TPU port, maybe due to a QUIC / UDP mismatch. The 1.13 tools may be trying to use UDP, which is disabled in 1.14.

This is a shot in the dark, but can you try using Solana 1.14 everywhere, including Solana CLI tools? Anchor 0.27 uses 1.14 internally, so it's better to stay synced everywhere.
