truffle compile , truffle test or truffle migration does not show any console output or exception . It just do nothing

Question

I am setting up truffle with my Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and VS Code, getting follwowing truffle quickstart

However, the truffle compile or truffle migrate or truffle test does not work. Even it does not throw any exception. Anybody faced the similar issue?

truffle compile is not working. When I run the command it simply returns even its not showing any error. truffle init is working properly so that truffle istallation is not an issue. But truffle compile and migrate commands having issue. How can I fix this on Ubuntu machine??

Truffle v5.0.4 (core: 5.0.4)

Solidity v0.5.0 (solc-js)

Node v8.10.0

Answer 1

After burning two nights, I have realized that truffle 5.0.4 is not stable yet. For which truffle compile, build or migrate does not function even it does not throw any exception.

I have uninstalled the truffle 5.0.4 and installed the Truffle v5.0.0-next.26 (core: 5.0.0-beta.2) and it starts working.
