Ganache-cli: Can't exit (^C) when MetaMask keeps calling eth_getBlockByNumber

[willnwhite]

Expected Behavior

testrpc exits when I press ^C.

Current Behavior

MetaMask is calling eth_getBlockByNumber, and I want to exit testrpc. Here's the Terminal output:

^Ceth_getBlockByNumber
eth_getBlockByNumber

The ^C doesn't work like it normally does in testrpc.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Connect MetaMask to testrpc.
2. Enter ^C to try to exit testrpc.

Context

I often want to restart testrpc while MetaMask is running. In this case, it was to test something with MetaMask.

This is fixed in the current develop branch and will go out with the next beta.

Excellent news ! thanks for the info @benjamincburns :D

[benjamincburns]

This issue is fixed in the current beta release of ganache-cli (v6.1.0-beta.0)
Actually, I think it was fixed in the previous beta release as well. Sorry for the confusion.

[jordanglassman]

Fix verified in v6.1.0-beta.0.

Are these infinite eth_getBlockByNumber calls a MetaMask bug? I don't see a related issue on their tracker.

[benjamincburns]

Not a bug. They poll for the latest block number.
