Solc error invalid opcode, but works in truffle

Question

I am trying to compile solidity code in solc(nodejs) but unsuccessful so far. I have created a sample app for demo. Here is sample's directory structure (node.js and truffle combined):

│   app.js
│   compile.js
│   deploy.js
│   routes.js
│   truffle-config.js
│
├───build
│   └───contracts
│           A.json
│           Migrations.json
│           U.json
│
├───contracts
│       A.sol
│       Migrations.sol
│       U.sol
│
├───migrations
│       1_initial_migration.js
│       2_deploy.js
│
└───test

Here is the link to source: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jeBRM_F0PfAqBZy0JWK3gKv53M9mxdcC/view?usp=drivesdk

npm packages:

npm i express path fs solc ethereumjs-tx web3-utils web3@0.20.7 morgan

It works in truffle both getTotalCount() and add() i.e.,

truffle(development)> let a = await A.deployed()
undefined
truffle(development)> a.getTotalCount()
<BN: 0>
truffle(development)> a.add(12)
{ tx:
   '0xfa53d1aac439dbdfea4b004410ebca35275a5f4377b54f64f9ab52388a08e0bf',

but when type localhost:34000/d in postman i get:

Apps' versions:

> truffle version
Truffle v5.0.2 (core: 5.0.2)
Solidity - 0.5.2 (solc-js)
Node v10.14.2

solc npm package version:

  "_id": "solc@0.5.7",

Ganache: v2.0.0-beta.2

Its been days that I am trying to solve this problem but can't. All methods in my contract give invalid opcode error when compiled via solc, but in truffle it seems to work fine, and I can't identify source of the problem.

Answer 1

New opcodes were introduced in Constantinople/St. Petersburg hard fork. Solidity compiler was able to produce such opcodes since 0.4.24, but this feature became enabled by default only in 0.5.5. Ganache Core supports this opcodes since version 2.5.1, but Ganache 2.0.0-beta.2 is based on Ganache Core 2.3.3. That's why you contract failed to work.

Answer 2

After updating Ganache to latest version(v2.0.1) it worked.
