How to pass arguments to "zos create --init" properly?

Hi @itinance

I suggest you look to upgrade to ZeppelinOS 2.4, the new interactive commands are awesome.

ZeppelinOS 2.4.0 released

Hey everyone! Exactly 4 weeks after releasing version 2.3.0, we are happy to announce the 2.4.0 release of ZeppelinOS! As usual, congrats to @jcarpanelli and @ylv-io for their efforts on this new milestone, as well as to @tsudmi for his contributions. This version is a continuation of 2.3 in terms of major improvements to developer experience. We rethought and rebuilt all outputs presented by the CLI, so only the info that actually matters is presented. We also added four new commands for inter…

Using ZeppelinOS 2.4 I was able to quickly and easily deploy and initialize the token contract.

The new interactive commands walk you through the initialization, and you get to choose the appropriate initialize function.

$ npx zos create
✓ Compiled contracts with solc 0.5.10 (commit.5a6ea5b1)
? Pick a contract to instantiate Token
? Pick a network development
✓ Added contract Token
✓ Contract Token deployed
All contracts have been deployed
? Do you want to call a function on the instance after creating it? Yes
? Select which function * initialize(minter: address, pausers: address[])
? minter (address): 0x90f8bf6a479f320ead074411a4b0e7944ea8c9c1
? pausers (address[]): [0x90f8bf6a479f320ead074411a4b0e7944ea8c9c1,0xffcf8fdee72ac11b5c542428b35eef5769c409f0]
✓ Setting everything up to create contract instances
✓ Instance created at 0x26b4AFb60d6C903165150C6F0AA14F8016bE4aec
0x26b4AFb60d6C903165150C6F0AA14F8016bE4aec

Once the instance is deployed and initialized, you can manually test it, e.g. by checking that the second address provided in the pauser array isPauser

$ npx zos call
? Pick a network development
? Pick an instance Token at 0x26b4AFb60d6C903165150C6F0AA14F8016bE4aec
? Select which function isPauser(account: address)
? account (address): 0xffcf8fdee72ac11b5c542428b35eef5769c409f0
✓ Method 'isPauser(address)' returned: true
true

Regards the decimals error, there are three initializer functions. When you were attempting to initialize, the second initialize taking two strings and a uint8 decimals parameter was shown in your error.

To initialize via the command line you need to specify the fully qualified function name.

  * initialize(sender: address)
  * initialize(name: string, symbol: string, decimals: uint8)
  * initialize(minter: address, pausers: address[])

In this case it is "initialize(minter: address, pausers: address[])"

npx zos create SimpleToken --network development --init "initialize(minter: address, pausers: address[])" --args 0x90f8bf6a479f320ead074411a4b0e7944ea8c9c1,[0x90f8bf6a479f320ead074411a4b0e7944ea8c9c1,0xffcf8fdee72ac11b5c542428b35eef5769c409f0]

As an aside, ganache-cli doesn't display addresses with checksums, I created an issue for this https://github.com/trufflesuite/ganache-cli/issues/657 and someone has done a Pull Request already.
