Hi! Whenever I try to use `read_state!()` in any contract and then run `discovery test`, the deployment will succeed, task status will go to 1, then get stuck on task status 3 forever.

To reproduce: from Ubuntu 18.04 with the discovery-cli, follow the [millionaire’s problem guide](https://blog.enigma.co/getting-started-with-enigma-an-intro-to-secret-contracts-cdba4fe501c2), run `discovery compile` (succeeds) and the `discovery test`, leading to the following output (never ends):

```auto
Deploying Secret Contract "millionaires_problem.wasm"...
Smart Contract "Sample.Sol" has been deployed at ETH address: 0x2c5f3c004878923f55A2a255F89Fe29393177509
Waiting. Current Task Status is 3

```

1. What does each different task status mean?
2. How do I get unstuck from status 3?

Hi there Theo

1. [TaskStatus status is defined here as](https://github.com/enigmampc/enigma-contract/blob/master/contracts/impl/EnigmaCommon.sol#L24);  
RecordUndefined: 0;  
RecordCreated: 1;  
ReceiptVerified: 2;  
ReceiptFailed: 3;  
ReceiptFailedETH: 4;  
ReceiptFailedReturn: 5

2. What version of node are you using?  
Can you push your project to github so I can see if I get that error too?  
Here’s a fully [working implementation](https://github.com/lauraweindorf/enigma-millionaires-problem), can you please clone that and see if you still get that problem?

There may also be some error logs in the console for the task.

Hey @theo, just checking, did you get unstuck?
