Truffle does not support function overloading

• I’ve asked for help in the Truffle Gitter before filing this issue.

Issue

Truffle fails with a Error: Invalid number of arguments to Solidity function error when testing an overloaded function.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Checkout this branch
2. Enable transfer and call test cases
3. Run npm test

Expected Behavior

Tests should pass. You can see that those tests work fine by changing the name of the overloaded function and using that name in the mentioned test cases.

Actual Results

Tests fail with a Error: Invalid number of arguments to Solidity function error

Environment

• Operating System: Mac OS Sierra
• Truffle version: 4.0.1
• Ethereum client: testrpc
• node version: 8.4.0
• npm version: 5.5.1

@hynese This should be fixed on truffle’s nightly for the next major version (darq-truffle on npm) which you can get by running:

npm install -g darq-truffle@next
darq-truffle migrate --network ropsten # Example command

It uses web3 1.0 under the hood so there are some breaking changes. Usage notes here.

(If you try this feel free to ping with any problems, would love some early feedback on whether things are working in a production context).
