Truffle Smart Contract Error: Invalid number of parameter

Question

I followed the tutorial of quorum with truffle: https://truffleframework.com/tutorials/building-dapps-for-quorum-private-enterprise-blockchains

Now I want to migrate the SimpleStorage.sol Smart Contract to the blockchain, but I want to make it to add the "PrivateFor" parameter.

This is my Smart Contract:

pragma solidity ^0.4.17;

contract SimpleStorage {
  uint public storedData;

  constructor(uint initVal) public {
    storedData = initVal;
  }

  function set(uint x) public {
    storedData = x;
  }

  function get() view public returns (uint retVal) {
    return storedData;
  }
}

This is my: 2_deploy_simplestorage.js

var SimpleStorage = artifacts.require("SimpleStorage");

module.exports = function(deployer) {
  deployer.deploy(SimpleStorage, 42, {privateFor: ["ROAZBWtSacxXQrOe3FGAqJDyJjFePR5ce4TSIzmJ0Bc="]})
};

But when I do truffle migrate, I get this error:

$ truffle migrate

If you're using an HDWalletProvider, it must be Web3 1.0 enabled or your migration will hang.

When I don't add the "privateFor" parameter, it works:

var SimpleStorage = artifacts.require("SimpleStorage");

module.exports = function(deployer) {
  deployer.deploy(SimpleStorage, 42)
};

But I need this privateFor parameter..

Does someone know how to fix this?

Hey @BlockChainProgrammer. Thanks for guiding me on how to use the Quorum proxy. It worked.

For this error, Try to upgrade/downgrade your truffle version to v4.1.

$ npm install -g truffle@4.1.10

and change the version of solidity to 0.4.24 in your truffle-config.js and the SimpleStorage.sol and add back privateFor in your migration file.

Thanks mate. I will check it out in a few hours – BlockchainProgrammer Jan 24 '19 at 07:34
Hello, so you mean in SimpleStorage.sol this: `pragma solidity ^4.1.24;` and in the truffle-config.js file this: `solc: { version: "4.1.24", }` ? Because I get an error – BlockchainProgrammer Jan 24 '19 at 07:45
That's right. In both of them you need the same version. It worked for me. – exploringsincebirth Jan 24 '19 at 07:52
Also try to join this slack group, from the quorum website. – exploringsincebirth Jan 24 '19 at 08:07
Hello, I get this error: `SyntaxError: Source file requires different compiler version (current compiler is 0.4.24+commit.e67f0147.Emscripten.clang - note that nightly builds are considered to be strictly less than the released version pragma solidity ^4.1.24; ` – BlockchainProgrammer Jan 24 '19 at 08:12
and when I try to install the solc version 4.1.24 with `npm install solc@4.1.24` I get this error: `npm ERR! code ETARGET npm ERR! notarget No matching version found for solc@4.1.24 npm ERR! notarget In most cases you or one of your dependencies are requesting npm ERR! notarget a package version that doesn't exist. npm ERR!

I also can't find this version. Are you sure you mean the version "4.1.24"? – BlockchainProgrammer Jan 24 '19 at 08:16
oops sorry, I meant 0.4.24. Some typo error I guess. Hope it works. – exploringsincebirth Jan 24 '19 at 08:31
Wich slack group do you mean? You have a link or something? – BlockchainProgrammer Jan 24 '19 at 08:48
https://github.com/jpmorganchase/constellation The bottom of this link will have another link to their slack community. – exploringsincebirth Jan 25 '19 at 02:03

In this case of quorum, the

 {
   privateFor: ["ROAZBWtSacxXQrOe3FGAqJDyJjFePR5ce4TSIzmJ0Bc="]})
 };

was not defined in the contract, and at such the error, but that particular truffle compiler is compatible with Quorum features.

But For non-Quorum users like myself The error Usually means, define a variable in your contract and not a compiler problem. Most likely a parameter not set in the constructor.

Open to corrections

Problem solved!

What I had to do is to downgrade truffle to "4.1.10" with:

truffle uninstall -g

and then

npm install -g truffle@4.1.10

Many thanks to @TS28
