Issue

@gunvant I wasn't able to reproduce this on my own and your example is specific to your project. It's hard to tell what's causing the error.

If you have a chance could you provide reproduction steps - e.g. a simple example of a call sequence that succeeds in a test but triggers this error in the console?

Could you also specify whether you're running truffle console or truffle develop?

Closing for house-keeping, please ping if you continue to see this. A reproduction case would be really helpful here as well.

There definitely is an issue with the way Truffle console parses contract function calls.

Here is a simple project (https://d.pr/f/AwkhIa) that you can migrate to Ganache with:

truffle migrate --compile-all --reset --network ganache
Then:

$ truffle console
truffle(ganache)> ChainList.deployed().then(function(instance){app = instance;})
truffle(ganache)> app.sellArticle("iPhone 7",  "Selling in order to buy iPhone 8",  web3.toWei(3, "ether"),{from: web3.eth.accounts[1]})

  logs: [] }

Notice how, in the first attempt, there are 2 spaces after each parameter passed to the function. And in the second call, there is only one space. That's the only difference, and it seems to me like it should not be a meaningful one. The workaround is easy, but still, I think a little more permissiveness can't hurt here.

By the way, I reproduced that with Truffle 4.1.14, but my students seem to have that issue with Truffle 4.0.4 and 4.0.7 too.

Have the same.

same here with:

Truffle v5.0.19 (core: 5.0.19)
Solidity - 0.5.8 (solc-js)
Node v8.10.0
Web3.js v1.0.0-beta.37

fail with:

let token    = await TestToken.at('0xeFF9429FD58883F168C48Bd9c5Af6f0d79411D20')

ok with:

let token = await TestToken.at('0xeFF9429FD58883F168C48Bd9c5Af6f0d79411D20')

the only difference is the whitespace between token and =:

let token =
