Solidity - Returned values aren't valid, did it run Out of Gas? You might also see this error if you are not using the correct

Question

I can run the set function with values with instance.SetUserInfo('Neil', 43) and I get a confirmation that it's a success, when I try to get function with instance.GetUserInfo('Neil') My command line commands are as follows:

let instance = await test.deployed()
instance.SetUserInfo('Neil', 43)
instance.GetUserInfo('Neil')

I receive the following error:

Error: Returned values aren't valid, did it run Out of Gas? You might also see this error if you are not using the correct ABI for the contract you are retrieving data from, requesting data from a block number that does not exist, or querying a node which is not fully synced.

Answer 1

Well I will be damned, for whatever reason this worked.

instead of using:

truffle develop 

I used

truffle console

and it worked
