I recently upgraded truffle to the newest version. Now it does not automatically detect overloaded functions anymore. Before, I could just do the following:

await contract.function({
  from: accounts[0],
  value: web3.utils.toWei("0.5", "Ether")
});

await contract.function(param1, param2, {
  from: accounts[0],
  value: web3.utils.toWei("0.5", "Ether")
});

Now it seems that I have to specify the parameters in a syntax like the following:

await contract.function['uint256', 'uint256'](param1, param2, {
  from: accounts[0],
  value: web3.utils.toWei("0.5", "Ether")
});

But how can I declare the first function version without parameters? Doing this: contract.function[''](...) produces the error contract.function is not a function. Not declaring anything via [] produces the same error as well.

Also the parameters for the overloaded functions are two arrays. One address[] array and one uint256[] array. I already tried:

contract.function["address[]", "uint256[]"](addressList, uintList, {...})

which doesn't work. It produces the same error.

I also didn't find any information about this in the truffle documentation.

Make sure you upgrade to the latest version of Truffle, and then check out these release notes on overloaded functions: https://github.com/trufflesuite/truffle/releases/tag/v5.0.0#user-content-what-s-new-in-truffle-v5-interacting-with-your-contracts-overloaded-solidity-functions

I hope that helps a little!

Solution (Truffle 5.0.0+):

const example = await Example.deployed();
example.methods['setValue(uint256)'](123);
example.methods['setValue(uint256,uint256)'](11, 55);
