Error: insufficient data for uint256 type

[saarshah]

I am trying to deploy contract and then calling its getter and setter functions. I can deployed my contract through program and got its address and then i feed this newly got address to my getter and setter functions, it become error (given below). However, if i just saved that address as hard coded, then my all program works well as expected. Error:

and here is my program

  console.log("============Contract of "+r+" received with address ", addresDeployed ); // here i can print my deployed contract's address

  console.log("============================================Getter Functions of Contract No. ", r);
  var myget = await genericGetterFunction(addresDeployred, r);

  console.log("===============================================Setter Functions of Contract No. ", r);
  var myset =await genericSetterFunction(addresDeployred, r)

  console.log("================================================Again Getter Functions of Contract No. ", r);
  var myget1 = await genericGetterFunction(addresDeployred, r);

  console.log("Contract no. : "+r+ "  completed !")
}
}

main().catch(e => console.error(e));

  }

  }

UPDATED: I checked my contract (see below). I haved also called directly getTotalSupply function , still same error..

code to deploy and immediately called its function

async function deployCon(key) {

abi = sources[key].abi;
code = "0x"+sources[key].bytecode;

const contract = cfx.Contract({ abi, code }); 
const estimateDeployGas = await contract.constructor(...constructorParameters[key].input).estimateGas();

 const contractAddress = await contract.constructor(...constructorParameters[key].input)
 .sendTransaction({
   from:account, 
   gas: estimateDeployGas, 
 })
 .deployed();
console.log("Address of Contract: ", contractAddress);
contract.address = contractAddress;

console.log(await contract.getTotalSupply());
return contract;
}

        owner = _wallet;
    }

    function () external payable{
        buyToken();
    }

    function buyToken() public payable {
        require(totalSupply >= (msg.value/1000000000000000000)*2);
        balances[msg.sender] += (msg.value/1000000000000000000)*2;
        totalSupply -=(msg.value/1000000000000000000)*2;
    }

    function getTotalSupply()public view returns  (uint256 ){
        return totalSupply;
    }

}

Error: insufficient data for uint256 type (arg="", coderType="uint256", value="0x", version=4.0.39) It look like you called a method which should return a "uint256" but got "0x", and abi-docoder can not handle it and throw insufficient data for uint256 type.

I have also tested the code of example, (which you provided earlier).. it also giving same error...
