I'm trying to create a simple solidity project using truffle but I'm having problems :(
Projects $ nvm current
v16.16.0
Projects $ mkdir SimpleProject
Projects $ cd SimpleProject
SimpleProject $ truffle init
Starting init...
================
> Copying project files to /home/personal/Projects/SimpleProject
Init successful, sweet!
Try our scaffold commands to get started:
$ truffle create contract YourContractName # scaffold a contract
$ truffle create test YourTestName # scaffold a test
http://trufflesuite.com/docs
SimpleProject $
SimpleProject $ truffle create contract SimpleProject
SimpleProject $ truffle create test TestSimpleProject
SimpleProject $
SimpleProject $ truffle test
Compiling your contracts...
===========================
> Compiling ./contracts/Migrations.sol
> Compiling ./contracts/SimpleProject.sol
> Compilation warnings encountered:
Warning: Visibility for constructor is ignored. If you want the contract to be non-deployable, making it "abstract" is sufficient.

SimpleProject $
truffle create test TestSimpleProject command creates a file test/test_simple_project.js with the following contents:
const TestSimpleProject = artifacts.require("TestSimpleProject");
/*
* uncomment accounts to access the test accounts made available by the
* Ethereum client
* See docs: https://www.trufflesuite.com/docs/truffle/testing/writing-tests-in-javascript
*/
contract("TestSimpleProject", function (/* accounts */) {
it("should assert true", async function () {
await TestSimpleProject.deployed();
return assert.isTrue(true);
});
});
On the first line, you can see that it's trying to load a contract named TestSimpleProject - the same contract name as you specified the test name. But there's no contract with this name in your project.
A simple fix is to change the name of the contract required for the test.
test/test_simple_project.js
const TestSimpleProject = artifacts.require("SimpleProject");
Or you can pass an existing contract name when you're creating the test.
truffle create test SimpleProject
Either way, don't forget to create a migration file for this contract.
migrations/2_simple_project.js
const SimpleProject = artifacts.require("SimpleProject");
module.exports = function (deployer) {
deployer.deploy(SimpleProject);
};
