When getting contract's balance on Remix, it returns the correct answer. But when the same function is called with JS Test, it returns a lot of junk.

I referred to How to get a contract's balance in Solidity? but it does not work anymore or something is missing in my JS code.

Solidity:

function contractBalance() public view returns(uint) {
    return address(this).balance;
}

Javascript:

it('should return contracts balance', async function() {
    let contractBalance = await this.auction.contractBalance()
    console.log(contractBalance)
})

Output:

TruffleConfig {

Use await this.auction.contractBalance().call().
