Truffle tutorials Error recipient address is not a contract address

Question

I am trying to execute the tutorial but when I run the truffle migrate command, I get this error

Error: Attempting to run transaction which calls a contract function, but recipient address

0x638a5f7b3047fcb90dd06afef527c0b96ee4df83 is not a contract address

How to solve this?

Answer 1

It appears like you have already migrated before and this error is caused because there also exists file as a result of previous migration.

To solve this, run your migrate command with reset option:

truffle migrate –reset
