Cannot destructure property `body` of 'undefined' or 'null' (5.1.10 to any later version) #2834

slmatthiesen · 2020-02-17T07:46:09Z

[ X ] I've asked for help in the Truffle Gitter before filing this issue.
Didn't see anything there.
I didn't see anything in the release notes that called anything out.
Looks like another related issue here:
Debug transaction - " TypeError: Cannot destructure property source of 'undefined' or 'null'." #1574 and [BUG] Cannot destructure property context of 'undefined' or 'null'. @ truffle debug #1365 and Console crashes when it runs a long time #991 and Cannot read property 'replace' of undefined #1936
with zero info.

I've been using truffle with the same contract consistently for a while now (6 months easily). This latest upgrade 5.1.10 to 5.1.13 (I missed one) is the first time I've seen this error. Wondering if anyone else has.

Solution

Downgrading to 5.1.10 allows me to truffle migrate --network development without issue.

Issue

I've been using the same contract for 6+ months. After upgrading from 5.1.10 to 5.1.1x , I started getting this error when attempting to launch my contract on any network:

Cannot destructure property body of 'undefined' or 'null'

Downgrading to 5.1.10 allows me to launch my contract again. Worked my way down from 5.1.13 to 5.1.10.

Steps to Reproduce

truffle migrate --network development
or
truffle migrate --network ropsten

Expected Behavior

My contract would compile and launch as expected.

Actual Results

Hey @slmatthiesen ! 👋

Can you share a reproduction repo for debugging purposes?

CruzMolina · 2020-02-19T16:23:01Z

Thanks for sharing that @README55 !

I notice both you and @slmatthiesen are on Windows 🤔.

CruzMolina · 2020-02-19T16:50:09Z

Investigated a bit, this looks like a compilation OS-compatibility path issue.

gnidan · 2020-02-19T18:49:45Z

Hooray a path compatibility issue! We'll have to dig into this. Thanks for raising this!

CruzMolina · 2020-02-19T19:00:21Z

Actually, it might be a missing return in this PR (merged & released in v5.1.11) to get rid of some callbacks in the resolver code (specifically resolver/fs): https://github.com/trufflesuite/truffle/pull/2693/files#diff-741d320df0fc163eac3fec99a9e78b75R65

slmatthiesen · 2020-02-20T05:34:47Z

Big ups to @README55 and thank you @CruzMolina
Thank you all and sorry for my delay in reply.

eggplantzzz · 2020-02-20T14:33:02Z

Does anyone have reproduction steps for this error? It would be super helpful in diagnosing this. So far it looks like we only have a vague guess as to what is causing this.

slmatthiesen · 2020-02-20T16:42:08Z

Sure thing -

On a windows machine:

Install truffle 5.1.13.
Setup the petshop: https://www.trufflesuite.com/tutorials/pet-shop
(Compact Sol files)

**[Adoption.sol]** 
pragma solidity ^0.5.0;
contract Adoption {
    address[16] public adopters;
    function adopt(uint petId) public returns (uint) {
    require(petId >= 0 && petId <= 15);
    adopters[petId] = msg.sender;
    return petId;
    }
    function getAdopters() public view returns (address[16] memory) {
    return adopters;
    }
}

**and

[TestAdoption.sol]**
pragma solidity ^0.5.0;
import "truffle/Assert.sol";
import "truffle/DeployedAddresses.sol";
import "../contracts/Adoption.sol";
contract TestAdoption {
Adoption adoption = Adoption(DeployedAddresses.Adoption());
uint expectedPetId = 8;
address expectedAdopter = address(this);
    function testUserCanAdoptPet() public {
    uint returnedId = adoption.adopt(expectedPetId);
    Assert.equal(returnedId, expectedPetId, "Adoption of the expected pet should match what is returned.");
    }
    function testGetAdopterAddressByPetId() public {
    address adopter = adoption.adopters(expectedPetId);
    Assert.equal(adopter, expectedAdopter, "Owner of the expected pet should be this contract");
    }
    function testGetAdopterAddressByPetIdInArray() public {
    address[16] memory adopters = adoption.getAdopters();
    Assert.equal(adopters[expectedPetId], expectedAdopter, "Owner of the expected pet should be this contract");
    }
}

Then run: truffle test
or
truffle migrate --reset --network development
and you'll hit the

     TypeError: Error parsing C:/Users/___/Projects/pet-shop-tutorial/contracts/Adoption.sol: Cannot destructure property `body` of 'undefined' or 'null'.
      at getImports (C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\truffle\build\webpack:\packages\compile-solidity\profiler\getImports.js:5:1)
      at C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\truffle\build\webpack:\packages\compile-solidity\profiler\index.js:145:1

Downgrading to 5.1.10 on my personal contract does allow me to deploy it without issue.
Downgrading to 5.1.10 for the above removes the Cannot destructure property body of 'undefined' or 'null error but gives another (possibly because I threw the above together quickly and missed something)

eggplantzzz · 2020-02-20T19:23:59Z

Thanks very much @slmatthiesen! I'll see if I can duplicate this on my mac.

eggplantzzz · 2020-02-20T21:49:45Z

So I can confirm that your code example is able to run truffle test successfully on a mac. I had to add a migration to deploy the Adoption contract, but afterwards everything works fine. I'll have to see if I can test it on a Windows machine.

yinjinit · 2020-03-04T15:10:58Z

Thanks @slmatthiesen and thanks you @CruzMolina . I had same issue using v5.1.15 and the old v5.1.10 solved my issue. Thanks again.

24thsaint · 2020-03-13T18:24:19Z

@topnotchbiz downgrading solved my issue. Thank you!

Running on Windows with the following versions when this issue occurred:

Truffle v5.1.15 (core: 5.1.15)
Solidity - 0.5.16 (solc-js)
Node v13.5.0
Web3.js v1.2.1

3rdstage · 2020-03-24T08:09:26Z

I also met this problem right after upgrading to v5.1.18. I had tested this on my Windows 7 laptop with Node.js 10.15 and Ubuntu 16 guest of Virtual Boxy with Node.js 10.19, and found the same problem.
Deleting files under build directory ('build/contracts/*.json' files) doesn't help at all.

I downgraded my Truffle back to v5.1.9 and the problem disappeared. So, this problem is taught to appear after v5.1.10.

ReedAlan · 2020-03-27T12:57:15Z

Same happens to me on windows 10 (64bit)

C:\Users\Alan\Documents\DAPPS\pet-shop-tutorial>truffle version

4math2379 · 2020-03-31T21:35:59Z

i got the same issue with 5.1.19 / when i downgrade to 5.1.9 all compile perfectly.

I try to investigate the issue, but i really don't know where it come from.

ajlopez · 2020-04-05T15:51:45Z

Today, I got this error, with truffle 5.1.14 in Windows 10

I removed build directory, and then truffle compile worked

slmatthiesen · 2020-04-06T18:11:23Z

With the new release out (5.1.20) I thought I'd give it a try again.

npm uninstall -g truffle
npm install -g truffle
Deleted my .json files in the build folder.
truffle migrate --reset --network development

And the same project that didn't compile for me a month+ ago now compiled successfully!

Give it a try if you are having issues. If you need to revert just:
npm uninstall -g truffle
npm install -g truffle@5.1.10 (always got me back on track)

pauliax · 2020-04-08T04:50:52Z

Also experienced this issue with Truffle 5.1.20
Had to downgrade:
npm install truffle@5.1.9 -g

MikeyDLuffy · 2020-04-19T16:33:59Z

I experienced the same issue on Windows 10 (truffle@5.1.22) while using the MetaCoin box. The error was referring to the ConvertLib.sol library.

TypeError: Error parsing C:/Projects/MetaCoin/contracts/ConvertLib.sol: Cannot destructure property body of 'undefined' or 'null'.

Reverting to 5.1.10 solved the issue.

xlwwww · 2020-04-21T09:51:41Z

yes，this problem can be solved by
npm install truffle@5.1.9 -g
and then delete the build directory and re-compile and migrate the contract

gorgos · 2020-05-26T02:30:16Z

Can we fix this? I need something older than 5.1.16 due to #2723 🤦‍♂️

Update: Fixed in #3075. Thanks @CruzMolina for the direction.

eggplantzzz · 2020-07-08T15:05:41Z

So does the problem still occur on version 5.1.33? It looks like some of the people in here had it resolve for them?

slmatthiesen · 2020-07-08T15:44:25Z

Adding my 2c, I am able to compile a couple of my codebases successfully on Windows with: version 5.1.33

spresnal · 2020-07-09T03:56:42Z

Just updated my project to use 5.1.33 and this issue is still occurring for me

Edit:

Working version is 5.1.10 for me
Error occurs with MetaCoin project too

eggplantzzz · 2020-07-09T14:53:47Z

So just to confirm @spresnal, you get this error after you unbox the metacoin project and run truffle test?

I'll have to go get a Windows machine to see if I can reproduce and troubleshoot this.

EuLeEr · 2020-07-13T16:18:31Z

I confirm . I get this error after you unbox the metacoin project and run truffle test.

For anyone stumbling across this problem ^ is the quick fix

avrdan · 2020-08-09T19:58:05Z

@gnidan Why is this closed? How is downgrading the library considered to be a valid solution? I don't want to downgrade just to use one project. This should NOT be closed. Also, the problem occurs when running "test", not migrate.

I have the issue on Truffle v5.1.13.

gorgos · 2020-08-09T20:05:26Z

@avrdan Fixed since v5.1.35: https://github.com/trufflesuite/truffle/releases/tag/v5.1.35.

avrdan · 2020-08-09T20:11:47Z

@gorgos Ok, great, thanks for the clarification. I think I had to switch to NodeLTS for another issue, however. #2070

gorgos · 2020-08-09T20:16:06Z

@avrdan You can manually add those changes locally as a temporary fix: #3075. That's how I did it until 5.1.35 was released.
