Truffle Error – Truffle Box at URL https://github.com/truffle-box/bare-box.git Doesn’t Exist

errortruffletruffle-box

I'm trying to initialize a directory with truffle init, but I'm getting the following error:

Error: Truffle Box at URL https://github.com/truffle-box/bare-box.git doesn't exist. If you believe this is an error, please contact Truffle support.

The git repository at https://github.com/truffle-box/bare-box.git does exist, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Any help?

I found out on Truffle's Gitter channel that something must have broken in version 4. I upgraded to version 5 and the issue is resolved.

How to upgrade (more information here):

npm uninstall -g truffle
npm install -g truffle

web3js – Resolve Web3 Error: No Synchronous Methods Without Callback Parameter

This section of code is not where the error is coming from. That code just creates the web3 object. The error is from some piece of code that's using web3 to interact with a contract.

When you use web3 you can either do this

var res = myContract.function.call();

myContract.function.call(function (err, res) {
  //do stuff
})

The second method is better because the call is asynchronous -> even if it times out the whole app won't freeze up. Metamask goes further and blocks devs from even using the first option. Not all web3 calls can be async, for examble the number conversion functions are done instantly. But all calls interacting with contracts should be done async.
