after executing a command using shelljs, I cannot call contract method anymore, it just throws other side closed

Minimal reproduction steps

3. call contract method

Hi @GopherJ, I don't think those reproduction steps are enough. Could you give us a more detailed explanation of what you are doing? Even better, could you create and share a
minimal reproducible example?

Closing as we don't have enough information to reproduce it. We can reopen if a minimal reproducible example is provided.
