Truffle: Solo Migrations contract deployment fails and networks object is empty

[mjhm]

Issue

Just deploying the standard Migrations contract by itself fails using truffle migrate. I've observed other more complicated cases where the Migration contract hasn't deployed as well.

Steps to Reproduce

Here's a failing test which is a variation of the preceding happy_path test:
https://github.com/trufflesuite/truffle/compare/develop...mjhm:solo_migration_deploy_bug

Please provide the shortest amount of steps to reproduce your issue:

Merge my branch, and run mocha test/scenarios/happy_path/

Expected Behavior

Expect test to pass, and also expect the resulting Migrations.json artifacts file to have a non empty networks object.

Actual Results

Test fails with:

Error: Migrations has not been deployed to detected network (network/artifact mismatch)

and Migrations.json has networks: {}

Environment

• Operating System: MacOS 10.3
• Truffle version: 4.0.5
• Ethereum client: ganache-cli
• node version: 8.9.3
• npm version: 5.6.0

I'm having the same issue, network object is empty in MyContract.json, and is failing with: has no network configuration for its current network id
