The requested contract was not found. Make sure the source code is available for compilation

I'm using '@openzeppelin/truffle-upgrades' plugin to create an upgradeable contract. First time doing this and going base off the websites article that they have on it. https://docs.openzeppelin.com/learn/upgrading-smart-contracts

Everything compiles correct, but the 3_deploy_upgradeable_box.js is spitting out this error whenever I migrate "The requested contract was not found. Make sure the source code is available for compilation" or see this screenshot https://gyazo.com/f4b8d8afea69b67965670b520e48db13

Here is my code

// contracts/Box.sol
// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

import "@openzeppelin/contracts/access/Ownable.sol";

contract Box is Ownable {

    uint256 private value;

    // Emitted when the stored value changes
    event ValueChanged(uint256 _value);

    // Store a new value in the contract, only the owner can call this
    function store(uint256 _value) public onlyOwner {
        value = _value;
        emit ValueChanged(_value);
    }

    // Retrieve the last stored value
    function retrieve() public view returns(uint256) {
        return value;
    }

}
// migrations/2_deploy.js
const Box = artifacts.require('Box');

module.exports = async function (deployer) {
  await deployer.deploy(Box);
};
// migrations/3_deploy_upgradeable_box.js
const { deployProxy } = require('@openzeppelin/truffle-upgrades');

const Box = artifacts.require('Box');

module.exports = async function (deployer) {
    await deployProxy(Box, [42], { deployer, initializer: 'store' });
  };

Please guide me in the right direction, thank you.

It works for me. Try deleting your build directory.

What version of things are you using?

How does that work? I did some research and I had to take away the Ownable contract cause it has a constructor in it.

For upgradeable contracts you should be using the @openzeppelin/contracts-upgradeable package which doesn't have constructors. See the docs:

I get this error at the moment I import any sol file locally. If I stop inheriting anything locally, the deployProxy works.
Everything is using inheriting from upgradeable contracts except for when it is inheriting something local, but those are also inheriting upgradeable contracts.
I have tried deleing the abi jsons folder. I don't know where is the build folder.
When I use truffle compile --all && truffle migrate --reset I get "Artifacts are from different compiler runs".
I tried to declare all the contracts in the main contract folder but I get another error: "Cannot read property 'layout' of undefined".
Any help is appreciated! tia.

I had a similar problem.
I've already run "truffle compile --all" and removed the "build" directory, but none of them solved the problem.

My contract inherits from OwnableUpgradeable and inside initializer function I call "__Ownable_init()".

Actually, I have the same contracts in this Truffle Project and another Hardhat Project. Hardhat works perfectly.
