Please run foundryup

This error appears to be resolved in later versions of Foundry. Sadly, I cannot always run the latest due to Foundry's non-existent version management. Latest will be purged after a few days, and to maintain consistent results between CI and local we have it set to a frozen version which we update periodically. Do you know what the minimum Foundry version is, then I can update us to some long lives version after that point (if it even exists)

It was introduced here foundry-rs/foundry#7197

I think this is the minimum version https://github.com/foundry-rs/foundry/releases/tag/nightly-de33b6af53005037b463318d2628b5cfcaf39916 (purely guessing because this was the immediate release following the merge foundry-rs/foundry#7197 )

@RensR you could also set ADERYN_SKIP_BUILD=1 in env . Then aderyn will assume that the out folder with all the AST json files are ready so it will skip running the forge command.

(But I don't think it is going to help you yet because all the foundry profile stuff is not in place as things like out folder are still the defaults)
