Restart contract

From time to time, it might be required to "reset" the state of the contract (i.e., remove tasks, allocations, and users). To do, execute npm run restart-contract. After contract restarted, it might be needed to generate mock data, to do so run npm run create-mock-data.

Troubleshooting

Error 126, Permission denied

It happens when trying to run a script that does not have executable right. Solution assign execution permission to the script. In UNIX-based operating systems run the command chmod +x <script_name>. For more information see here
