I'm trying to deploy a contract to the Ropsten testnet via the truffle console. In my truffle.js file, I set the gas parameter to gas: 4700000. When I run migrate --reset, I always get this error no matter how much gas I send during the deploy in 2_deploy_contracts.js:

Running migration: 1_initial_migration.js
  Deploying Migrations...
Error encountered, bailing. Network state unknown. Review successful transactions manually.
Error: Contract transaction couldn't be found after 50 blocks

The contract works properly on testrpc and was successfully deployed via the Remix IDE. I could find it on Etherscan and it looks like the gas estimate was around 1700000.

  • Perhaps gasPrice is too low

Resolved -- you must make sure that your node is synced up with the network. In my case, I was on the ropsten testnet. The latest block is at 17 million and my node was still at 15 million.

  • Thanks. In my case it was simply because Ropsten was overloaded. There were like 3K pending transactions, 100 Gwei price
