Truffle can not find artifacts error

Question

I have written a smart contract and try to run it using truffle. When I try to migrate the project, I am getting the following error:

Error encountered, bailing. Network state unknown. Review successful transactions manually. Error: Could not find artifacts for ./Migrations.sol from any sources at Resolver.require (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/truffle/build/cli.bundled.js:69108:9)

Please help.

Answer 1

To deploy any project/ smart contract, you need Migrations.sol. You can not migrate/ deploy without that. If you have run truffle init, you will have a default file. If not, you have to create this file under contracts directory with the following content:

var Adoption = artifacts.require("MyToken.sol");

module.exports = function(deployer) {

    deployer.deploy(Adoption);

};

Replace require field with the name of contract you have used.
