I got the same problem just now, but I solved it in this way.

• After your compilation, go to your_folder_location\build\contracts folder.

• Then you will see a JSON file which not related to your contract file.

• Just rename that JSON file same as your contract file. ( most probably that JSON file related your folder name )

• But after that you can see the renamed file as well as the original file too, both files in same location. Don’t worry.

That’s it.

Worked. To avoid this issue, make sure your contract’s and the contract file has the same name: ie: "pragma solidity 0.5.12;

contract Token20 { … " in file named Token20.sol
