I have an issue where after I run anchor test --detach (which starts a local validator) the transactions are only available for a short time (a few minutes) via rpc. Possibly a local validator setting concerning making only recent blocks available over rpc?

I'm not sure about anchor test specfically, but solana-test-validator (which it probably wraps?) has a very low default --limit-ledger-size value to prevent consuming excess disk space. Assuming anchor test can pass this argument through or supports an analog, increasing the value will keep a deeper ledger history around

    Thanks - this was it! For future reference - the anchor specific fix was to add [test.validator] limit_ledger_size = "10000000" (new line after [test.validator]) to Anchor.toml.
