I am trying to run the following contract in truffle, which is pretty much the same HelloWorld but I kept the name MetaCoin from the truffle example. I have read this, this, and this posts related to this problem. Those fixes do not work in my case.

I am using Truffle v3.2.1 and testrpc client

    contract MetaCoin {
        uint public balance;

        function MetaCoin(){
            balance = 1000;
        }
    }

I compile, migrate and run console, and check it's been deployed:

    truffle(development)> MetaCoin.deployed();

And the output seems correct so far...

     address: '0xdfefe34eb214332f4188c5582ddba2c1ea5cd623',
     transactionHash: null }

And now I try to check the balance in different ways:

    truffle(development)> meta = MetaCoin.deployed()
    ...
    truffle(development)> meta.balance.call()
    OR
    truffle(development)> MetaCoin.deployed().balance.call()
    OR
    truffle(development)> meta.balance.call().then(console.log)

and this is the error I get!

    TypeError: Cannot read property 'call' of undefined

        at REPLServer.emit (events.js:191:7)
        at REPLServer.Interface._onLine (readline.js:241:10)

Any ideas?!

Truffle 3.x?

Try waiting for returned promises ...

truffle(development)> var meta;
truffle(development)> var balance;
truffle(development)> MetaCoin.deployed().then(function(instance) { meta = instance; });
truffle(development)> meta.balance().then(function(bal) { balance = bal; });

truffle(development)> balance;
[big num ... ]
truffle(development)> balance.toString(10);
human readable ...
