get error:"Number can only safely store up to 53 bits"when I used “web3.eth.getBlock()”

[camusfsx]

 web3.eth.getBlockNumber().then(e => {
            blockNum = parseInt(e, 10)
             console.log(blockNum)//81642
            web3.eth.getBlock(blockNum)
                .then(e => console.log(e))
            })
>Error: Number can only safely store up to 53 bits

Store it as a BigNumber ;)

Store it as a BigNumber ;)

Store what as a BigNumber ?? trying ti print the result from web3.eth.getBlock() is itself giving this error.

In many blogs I've found it was a Truffle version problem. Truffle v5 would make problems of this type. They suggest to downgrade to truffle@4.1.15.

This has not been so for me. I have continue to use truffle v5. I've resolved by checking my gas limit when I sent a transaction.
gasLimit: web3.utils.toHex( gas_limit ),//The maximum gas provided for this transaction (gas limit)

Node: v8.11.4
Truffle: 5.0.12
Web3: 1.0.0-beta.52
Truffle-contract: 4.0.11
Truffle-interface-adapter@0.1.2
│ └── web3@1.0.0-beta.37
└── web3@1.0.0-beta.37
Ganache-cli: v6.4.3 (ganache-core: 2.5.5)
Ethereumjs-tx: 1.3.4

How did you resolve this?

@macman18 Having the same issue and I am not using Truffle, just web3
Is there any good solution, yet?

+1 getting the same error when trying to get a block by the block number. BigNumber doesn't make a difference.

+1
I think web3 is trying to parse response JSON, but it's include big number that my javascript can't handle.

this is similar to this one #3936 (comment)
