How can I deploy a HelloWorld contract on my testrpc network

0 votes

Following is my helloworld.sol contract:

pragma solidity ^0.4.17;

contract HelloWorld{  
    function sayHello() internal pure returns(string){
        return("Hello 2018!");
    }
}

Initial migrations.js:

var Migrations = artifacts.require("./Migrations.sol");
var HelloWorld = artifacts.require("./HelloWorld.sol");

module.exports = function(deployer) {
  deployer.deploy(Migrations);
  deployer.deploy(HelloWorld);
};

And since I'm using truffle, truffle.js:

module.exports = {

  networks: {
    development: {
      host: "localhost",
      port: 8545,
      network_id: "*" // Match any network id
    }
  }

};

When I run commands:

truffle compile
truffle migrate
truffle console

I get 

Error: HelloWorld has not been deployed to detected network (network/artifact mismatch) at C:\Users\Kofola\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\truffle\build\cli.bundled.js:317116:17 at at process._tickDomainCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:228:7)

How do I correctly deploy my contract and test its method?

The problem lies in the command:

truffle migrate

Your truffle migrate command is showing nothing was deployed. Your output should look something like this:

$ truffle migrate
Using network 'development'.

Actually, Truffle has a minor issue running on Windows 10 where the truffle.js has name conflicts with the main truffle command. You'll want to rename truffle.js to truffle-config.js

Clear out all previous builds/migrations. Delete the build directory and run truffle migrate --reset.

If the above two methods don't work, restart testrpc to clear out any previous migrations on your local blockchain. Then run truffle migrate

This solved the problem. Thanks. If I am not wrong, Windows Operating Systems considers truffle-config.js file and not truffle.js file right?

Yes @Karan, you are right.
