[Fixed] Forge test error [FAIL. Reason: Invalid data] setUp() (gas: 0)

[johnpaulcas]

I created new project today (11/13/2022) using forge install, and try to run

> forge clean
> forge compile

when I tried to run

> forge test

I encounter an error saying

[FAIL. Reason: Invalid data] setUp() (gas: 0)```

I created before some project using forge but never encounter this issue, anyone can help me to resolve this issue?


Thanks!

Found the solution by doing the following

Update faundry by running

> foundryup

Then initialize the project

> forge init

After that you need to go to faundry.toml in your root project directory then specify the solc verson that you are using

then run

> forge clean
> forge build
> forge test

Followed the instructions above but I am still experiencing the same issue

[dbeal-eth]

we found that running foundryup is important for the instructions above.

therefore if you are getting this error, your version of foundry is most likely too old.
