The contract code couldn't be stored, please check your gas amount during successful deployment

Issue

After running truffle migrate for mainnet network i've got:

Running migration: 1_initial_migration.js
  Deploying Migrations...
Error encountered, bailing. Network state unknown. Review successful transactions manually.
Error: The contract code couldn't be stored, please check your gas amount.

On etherscan i see:

0xe728474cc7b4bf31749fb6b5f4d377f58afb4a2bf1abe9283b4c03ceb7d8619f | (pending) | 32 secs ago | 0x71544d4d42daab49d9f634940d3164be25ba03cc | OUT | Contract Creation | 0 Ether | (pending)

Contract is created: https://etherscan.io/address/0x1d3d6458065f3cd778541f0676db6837be9252ec

Its regular issue we have with truffle framework...

Experienced this issue trying to run truffle test on rinkeby testnet from gentoo linux.

I've discovered that Assert.sol generates an EVM binary that is just too big to be deployed without it choking. I ended up manually editing Assert.sol and taking out a couple of funcs that I wasn't using.

Now the EVM binary is slightly smaller and deploys on rinkeby, and my tests complete successfully.

Thanks for the info guys. This is good sleuthing.

The same issue. That's why I have deployed a lot of pointless Migrations.sol

	config.networks["mainnet"] = {
		provider: new HDWalletProvider(mnemonic, "https://mainnet.infura.io/"+infuraToken),
		network_id: 1,
		gas: 4e6,
		gasPrice: 2e10
	};

Hello,
Is there any update on this issue ? I have same problem, an it's very annoying -__- I do not find any solution on other forum

[charltonh]

Try the latest beta release of truffle, or try finding the Assert.sol file in truffle and manually editing it to take out a couple of functions that you don't need.

[7flash]

@delormemarie240 Check web3/web3.js#1243
You can fix this line manually: web3/web3.js@e7d7d80#diff-430c9c02bef6a7661c5b4e7b34142f7cL120

@7flash Hi, I used yarn to download dependencies and I tried your suggestion by changing the line you mentioned in node_submodules/web3 and node_submodules/web3-engine-provider, but still didn't work. The error is either check your gas amount or exceeds 240 seconds. Could you please help? Thanks so much!

[ryanli-me]

@charltonh Thanks for the info! Could you please specify which functions are not used and safe to delete?

[charltonh]

@liyihe96 Depends on which functions you are using in your program. I took out just a couple small functions that I knew I'd never use, which amounted to just a few lines. Then the Assert.sol compiled code was able to 'fit' and it deployed successfully.

[7flash]

@liyihe96 exceeds 240 seconds - Probably you should just raise gas price up to 50 GWei for mainnet.

Getting the same issue, I have a contract that deploys on Ganache (truffle test),
the contract implements the EIP20Interface, if I declare "contract TTC is EIP20Interface"
in the contract, I get the error.

truffle migrate 
Compiling ./contracts/EIP20Interface.sol...

In case this applies to any of you, make sure you try deploying any libraries you use separately, then link them to the main contract(s) to limit the gas used in each migration txn.

[max-l]

@nickjm this is my migration script :

var TTC = artifacts.require("./TTC.sol");
var EIP20Interface = artifacts.require("./EIP20Interface.sol");

module.exports = function(deployer) {
  deployer.deploy(EIP20Interface);
  deployer.link(EIP20Interface, TTC);
  deployer.deploy(TTC);
};

and my contract:

contract TTC is EIP20Interface {
...

The "The contract code couldn't be stored, please check your gas amount." seems to apply to the deployment of EIP20Interface

This is a test settup, where can I increase the gas amount for the store transaction to succeed ?

I am using Ganache and the account doing the deploy starts with 100 ETH, is that not enough, or is the error message about another gas treshold being busted ?

not work for me see my sol file please

Any news on this?

I was facing the same issue solved it by adding "0x" to the bytecode

`const HDWalletProvider = require("truffle-hdwallet-provider");
const Web3 =require('web3');
const { interface, bytecode } = require('./compile');
const mnemonic = "jewel renew rate forest fuel boost screen winter throw space can weather";
const provider = new HDWalletProvider(mnemonic,"https://ropsten.infura.io/W727SZ47Z2PgLGnLbriG");
const web3 = new Web3(provider);

deploy = async () => {
const accounts = await web3.eth.getAccounts();
console.log('Attempting to deploy',accounts[0]);
const result = await new web3.eth.Contract(JSON.parse(interface)).deploy({ data:'0x'+bytecode,arguments:['Hi svgjkbnlsdfkjbvg there']}).send({from:accounts[0],gas:'300000'});
console.log('contract deployed',result.options.address);
};
deploy();`
