Your solution:
You must deploy the contract named in the error message. If you already deployed the contract, re-deploy.
To deploy the smart contracts to the Ethereum blockchain, you must first write migrations. In the “migrations” folder of your Truffle project, build a new file “2_deploy_contracts.js”. Truffle migrations enable us to “push” the smart contracts to the blockchain.
const ContractName = artifacts.require("ContractName");
module.exports = function(deployer) {
deployer.deploy(ContractName);
};
To run the migration script, use the command “npx truffle migrate” in your Terminal/Command Prompt application.
Still not working?
- Make sure a “build” folder has been created and updated when the contract is compiled.
- Make sure you use the contract class name, not the file name.
