Reconfiguring an existing Ponder project.

[salieflewis]

I'm using Ponder as a testing environment against a moving smart contract, aka the contract's ABI is changing as we move things around, but the events are staying the same!

I thought it would be as simple as changing the contract address in my ponder.config.ts as well as updating the abi in abis/contract.json but it doesn't seem to be that simple. In essence Ponder is aware of new events, but the logging capabilities do not persist.

I'm curious if there is a way to kind of reconfig the project given an updated contract without having to go through the whole CLI process and create a new app. Or is there another thing I'm missing that is necessary to change?

I'm not quite sure what behavior you're seeing when you say

Ponder is aware of new events, but the logging capabilities do not persist.

That said - we're very keen to natively supported Foundry + Ponder integration such that when you save changes to your Foundry project, it'll reload Ponder automatically and behave as you expect.

That would certainly solve some issues! Essentially what I'm getting at is that I don't want to have to create a whole new ponder project every time I change the address of the contract I'm working with and its associated ABI. If I encounter this again I can try to document what I'm experiencing in the context of a loom video or something.

@salieflewis it might be that you can delete the cache directory .ponder after you restart foundry to solve this dx issue
