truffle has not been deployed to detected network

Question

Is it possible to referer to a contract that has been deployed with Contract.new() with Contract.deployed() ?

When referencing .deployed() in my test it throws :

has not been deployed to detected network (1501794786154)

Obviously the code has been successfully deployed on the network ( in my deploy file i can get access to all the contracts address, can see the sucessfull transaction in Testrpc , etc ) .

Also the network id is the good one.

    module.exports = {
      networks: {
        development: {
          host: "localhost",
          port: 8545,
          network_id: "*" // Match any network id
        }
      }
    };

Lastly : When i check the contract Build folder json file for the contract that is not recognized as deploy i can find :

"networks": {
    "1501794786154": {

So it is indeed deployed.

I've tried deleting the build folder and recompile again etc. as per

Truffle Webpack starts with error: MetaCoin has not been deployed to detected network

Anybody has a pointer?

Answer 1

Sometimes I've run into a similar issue where truffle doesn't detect changes in my contracts and either it doesn't compile it or, when it does, it doesn't migrate it (saying network is up to date).

You can try running truffle compile (and/or truffle migrate) with the --reset flag.

Answer 2

Your contract might not have been added to the truffle migrations deployer. You should check your file /migrations/2_deploy_contracts.js

var YourContractName = artifacts.require("./YourContractName.sol");

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

I ran into this same issue today. For whatever reason truffle is not detecting any contracts deployed in 2_deploy_contracts.js unless I explicitly specify the contract address using the at() function. I was able to get around this by deploying the contract in 1_initial_migration.js instead and then redeploying all my contracts from scratch.

Answer 4

I've just solved the same problem by following steps:

1. in the 1_initial_migration.js (or what ever the name of your deploy config file):

   var Migrations = artifacts.require("./Contract.sol");
   module.exports = function(deployer) {
     deployer.deploy(Contract);
   };
   

2. run command truffle compile and truffle migrate --reset

Answer 5

There are two ways

1. Remove the build folder

   rm -r build/
truffle compile
truffle migrate

2. Use

   truffle migrate --reset --all

I think this will solve your problem

Change the metamask network from test net or main net to your localhost version
