How can I have two contracts in truffle test

Question

I'm using a contract to manage my contracts, and am not sure how to write a test.

The problem I'm facing is that I can't see how to get my coolerDb contract address.

This is my test.js

contract('CMC', function(accounts) {
  "use strict";

  it("check deployment", function(done) {
    let cmc = CMC.deployed();
    let coolerDb = CoolerDb.deployed();
    cmc.addContract("coolerDb", coolerDb).then(function(rc) {
      assert.equal(rc.c[0], true, 'Assert fail: not added');
    }).then(done).catch(done);
  });
});

The error is:

Error: Contract address not set - deployed() relies on the contract class having a static 'address' value; please set that before using deployed().

Answer 1

The address is shown when you run truffle migrate. The complete set of commands to deploy the contract is:

# --compile-all recompiles all contracts.
# Omitting the flag compiles only those files that have been modified or added   
truffle compile --compile-all 
# Then deploy (here is where the address at which the contract is stored
# in the block chain is shown).
truffle migrate

Use that address in future contracts.

Answer 2

Sebi gave the a great hint to look at the truffle command. The actual way that I got the contract was

1. made sure all the contracts were in truffle.js (and it was missing)
2. truffle deploy

3. read the address from the output

   Deployed: CoolerDb to address:xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Luckily I didn't need to hard code the address because

let coolerDb = CoolerDb.deployed();

seems to get the address.
