Question

I'm learning how Ethereum Smart Contract are developed and deployed using solidity, web3 and Javascript.

I've successfully deployed a contract on Ganache. Now when I'm trying to deployed it on Rinkby Test Net using truffle-hdwallet-provider It just fail.

Ive sucessfully created web3 object using truffle-hdwallet-provider and I sucessfullly get the account list but the deployment to the testnet always get failed.

You can check here that my deployment gets failed.

https://rinkeby.etherscan.io/address/0x2f20b8F61813Df4e114D06123Db555325173F178

Here is my deploy script

const HDWalletProvider = require('truffle-hdwallet-provider');
const Web3 = require ('web3');
const {interface, bytecode} = require('./compile');

const provider = new HDWalletProvider(
    'memonics',                         // this is correct 
    'https://rinkeby.infura.io/mylink'  // this is correct 
    );

const web3 = new Web3(provider);

const deploy = async() =>{
    const accounts = await web3.eth.getAccounts();
    console.log('Attempting to deploy from account:', accounts[0]); //This excute fine
    try {
    const result = await new web3.eth.Contract(JSON.parse(interface)).deploy({ data: bytecode, arguments: ['Hi There!']}).send({ from: accounts[0], gas: '1000000'});
    console.log('Contract deployed to ', result.options.address);
    }
    catch(err) {
        console.log('ERROR'); // Here I get error 
    }



};
deploy();

and here is my Contract

pragma solidity ^0.4.17;

contract Inbox{
    string public message;

    constructor (string initialMessage) public {
        message = initialMessage;
    }
    function setMessage(string newMessage) public {
        message = newMessage;
    }
}

EDIT: I tried using Remix and it deployed successfully but when trying with truffle-hdwallet-provider it gives error: The contract code couldn't be stored, please check your gas limit. I tied with different gas values (up-to max possible) but still no result.

I figured out the bytecode do not include 0x Causing this problem.

By Concating 0x with the bytecode solved the problem.
