I have tried reinstalling Titan CLI and Aion node but it didn't help.

[ToJen]

Hey, are you passing the correct path

[maxsam4]

Yes, I am. The only thing different from documentation of aion is that I am on Ubuntu bionic rather than xenial.

[ToJen]

Are you able to deploy the contract?

[maxsam4]

The contacts didn't compile so I didn't try deploying. Build folder was empty after trying to compile.

Also, iirc, in the default aion config, rpc was disabled. Had to enable it.

[maxsam4]

Error Plugin: @titan-suite/cli: files attribute must be specified in /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@titan-suite/cli/package.json

This seems to be of interest. You might wanna focus on it first.

[ToJen]

The build folder is created only after deploying. I've just tested the command on a fresh install on a new system without getting an error. What version of node and npm are you running?

[maxsam4]

The build folder is created only after deploying. I've just tested the command on a fresh install on a new system without getting an error. What version of node and npm are you running?

They are mentioned in the opening post. I'll try deploying and a few other things later today, and get back to you.

Meanwhile, why do you need aion node to be running for compilation and why are build files not generated on compilation?

[maxsam4]

Can you try updating npm to the latest and try again? You could test this in a docker container if you don't want to modify your global npm package.

[maxsam4]

Tried using node 10 with nvm but it didn't help. Then, I edited the package.json files that were throwing the error to add the files array as in this repo's package.json. It subdued all the errors but it still didn't compile the contracts. It was like nothing was happening when I tried compiling.

[ToJen]

Meanwhile, why do you need aion node to be running for compilation and why are build files not generated on compilation?

AION uses Solidity version 0.4.9 and a fork of web3@0.20.x which used to compile using web3.eth.compile.solidity instead of solc. They are working on upgrading their library to be compatible with web3v1.0.

[ToJen]

It subdued all the errors but it still didn't compile the contracts. It was like nothing was happening when I tried compiling

This is strange, let's take a different approach. Try cloning this repo, then

• go into the cloned file
• install the dependencies using yarn
• copy your contract into the test/contracts folder
• run ./bin/run compile -d test/contracts/YourContract.sol from the project root

Then let me know what happens

[maxsam4]

Then let me know what happens

Same thing. Compilation does nothing, when I try to deploy, it says select a contract but there is no contract to select from. Error pops up when i press enter

$ ./bin/run compile -d test/contracts/Example.sol 
$ ./bin/run deploy test/contracts/Example.sol

btw, here is the titanrc file I am using

module.exports = {
    "host": "http://127.0.0.1",
    "port": 8545,
    "defaultAccount": "",
    "password": "PLAT4life"
}

I don't exactly remember where I got it from. I don't even remember setting a password to be honest. I am running a local private node. removing the default password changes nothing.

[ToJen]

What does your contract look like?

Have you been able to connect to your node and deploy contracts there through other means?

If I try to compile one after another without any break, I get empty response from web3. If I wait a few seconds between the commands, I get that error. Tried with titan console and the console.js file in the aion node's web3 folder. same result. Seems like it's an issue with the node/aion's web3. commands like web3.currentProvider show that the node is connected to the console. Tried blockNumber as well and it's working.

[ToJen]

Could this be related to https://github.com/aionnetwork/aion/issues/628?

[maxsam4]

Seems like it is.

[ToJen]

Have you tried it on 16.04? This may be an issue with the AION node and not the cli?

[ToJen]

Closing this due to inactivity.
