I'm running testrpc on the default port 7545.

I run truffle console and test with: web3.eth.getAccounts().then( function (result) { return result[0] });

This works fine. According to docs the getAccounts() method only works if the account is connected properly with ganache, so it seems I should be all set.

when I enable MetaMask in crome and setup to required accounts, localhost web page is showing loading evin i had properly setup MetaMask as shown in image.

Capture333 But when I dissabled the MetaMask, It is showing proper output with account at index 0 as shown below: Capture444

truffle version
Truffle v5.1.26 (core: 5.1.26)
Solidity - 0.4.25 (solc-js)
Node v12.13.0
Web3.js v1.2.1

Please help me getting out of this.

In order to display accounts with Metamask first you have to prompt the user to allow the application to have access to the accounts.

Check https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/blob/master/EIPS/eip-1102.md

Look for window.ethereum and if it's presented call window.ethereum.enable() and after that is resolved, you will be able to access the accounts.

  • Do we have to look for window.ethereum in truffle console?

  • I cannot answer you precisely to that question because I haven't used truffle. You have to ask about that in the code that is executed in the browser.

  • let app = await Election.deployed() , let accounts = web3.eth.getAccounts() and app.vote(1,{ from: accounts[1] }) is working in truffle that means i can vote from different accounts, so I'm having account access

  • so there is no need for window.ethereum.enable()
