Calling External Contract throws error : VM Exception while processing transaction: revert

Question

I've deployed the ScoreStore contract to test RPC, and it works fine. This is ScoreStore contract:

pragma solidity ^0.4.4;
contract ScoreStore 
{
    mapping(string => int) PersonScores;

    function SetScore(string name, int score) {
        if(PersonScores[name]>0){
            throw;
        }
        else{
            PersonScores[name] = score;
        }
    }

    function GetScore(string name) returns (int){
        return PersonScores[name];
    }
}

Now I want to use this contract on another contract named MyGame, the contract code is as follows:

pragma solidity ^0.4.4;
contract IScoreStore{
    function GetScore(string name) returns (int);
}
contract MyGame{
    function ShowScore(string name) returns (int){
        // Interface takes an address of the existing contract as parameter
        IScoreStore ss = IScoreStore(0x6c38cfb90e8fb1922e61ea4fbe09d29c7751bf82); 
        return ss.GetScore(name);
    }
}

When I give this command on truffle console, mg.ShowScore.call("Anna") it thorws this:

Error: VM Exception while processing transaction: revert

Any idea, what i am doing wrong? Any help is appreciated, P.S: testrpc is already running.

I was able to compile both the contracts in remix and call the ShowScore function after setting some value from ScoreStore contract successfully.

Are you sure the address given to the interface is correct? Because I got the same revert error when I gave an invalid address.

Thanks I re-tested it on remix and it work fine. To my surprise, I re-deployed it again on testrpc as well and run via truffle and it works fine. Thanks, anyway. – Fariha Abbasi Mar 19 '18 at 07:08
