Describe the bug

when trying to write a 'setter function' like,

_function setNumber(int _newNumber) public {
number = newNumber;
}

with 'number' being a contract variable (private or public does not matter, also variable type does not matter).

Forge test, forg build etc. work.

However wenn running it against a blockchain (tried Sepolia, Goerli, Anvil) with the following command

cast send $ConAddress "setNumber(5)" --private-key $PrivKey --rpc-url $RPC_URL

I get the following error message

invalid AbiItem keyword: "setNumber", expected one of "constructor", "function", "error", or "event"

Thanks

"setNumber(5)" is not a valid function signature; it's "setNumber(int)", with an argument of 5, so cast send address "setNumber(uint256)" 5 ...
