'Web3 Cannot get value of a public variable from contract

Solidity code:

web3:

 try{

const fileCount = await contract.methods.cubeCount().call();

console.log(fileCount);

}catch(error){
    console.log(error);
    return;
}

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. at ABICoder.push../node_modules/web3-eth-abi/src/index.js.ABICoder.decodeParameters (index.js:226) at Contract.push../node_modules/web3-eth-contract/src/index.js.Contract._decodeMethodReturn (index.js:471)

web3 version is: 1.2.4

Having problem retrieving value from a public variable. Although I use await here, but it seems like it is not returning a promise. I can use send() function without error. Need help with this, thanks.

if I use const fileCount = await contract.methods.cubeCount.call(); instead I will get an object:

{arguments: Array(0), call: ƒ, send: ƒ, encodeABI: ƒ, estimateGas: ƒ, …} arguments: [] call: ƒ () encodeABI: ƒ () estimateGas: ƒ () send: ƒ () _ethAccounts: Accounts {_requestManager: RequestManager, givenProvider: Proxy, providers: {…}, _provider: Proxy, …} _method: {constant: true, inputs: Array(0), name: "cubeCount", outputs: Array(1), payable: false, …} _parent: Contract {_requestManager: RequestManager, givenProvider: Proxy, providers: {…}, _provider: Proxy, …} proto: Object

If you are new like me make sure you have deployed latest contact :-).

In my case I needed this.

truffle migrate --reset
