Truffle console no compile or init options

Question

While using truffle.cmd console I tried to use the compile option, or even init. These options are not available, so I cannot compile using console.

truffle(development)> .help

.break Sometimes you get stuck, this gets you out

.clear Break, and also clear the local context

.editor Enter editor mode

.exit Exit the repl

.help Print this help message

.load Load JS from a file into the REPL session

.save Save all evaluated commands in this REPL session to a file

truffle(development)>

I tried using truffle in PowerShell but still no resolution: could not see compile, or init options, when using .help

Answer 1

The follwoing worked for compilation: (the --all aoption for truffle.cmd)

truffle.cmd compile --all
