Unexpected error Cannot provision contracts while instantiating the console

Question

I have created a truffle project. I was successfully able to compile and migrate the contract. After this when I try to open truffle console, I am getting the following error:

**Enexpected error: Cannot provision contracts while instantiating the console.
truffle(development)> TypeError: Cannot read property 'forEach' of undefined
    at TruffleInterpreter.resetContractsInConsoleContext (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/truffle/lib/repl.js:95:17)
    at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/truffle/lib/repl.js:44:12**

Answer 1

This is a common problem with truffle that happens due to the build files. In the data directory, you should have a directory name build, delete this directory and try to open truffle console.
