Getting Invalid number of parameters for undefined when deploying smart contract

Question

I'm trying to deploy my first Voting contract on the testRPC and the below is my code.. I am not able to deploy it. 

The error seems to be from the arguments parameter. I tried passing an empty array and it said "Got 0 expected 1!". I tried passing just one name and it says "value.forEach" is not a function.

Web3 = require('web3')
web3 = new Web3(new Web3.providers.HttpProvider("http://localhost:8545"));
sourceCode = fs.readFileSync('Voting.sol').toString()
solc = require('solc')
compiledCode = solc.compile(sourceCode)
abiDefinition = JSON.parse(compiledCode.contracts[':Voting'].interface)
VotingContract = new web3.eth.Contract(abiDefinition)
byteCode = compiledCode.contracts[':Voting'].bytecode

VotingContract.deploy({
    data: byteCode, 
    arguments:['Joseph','Sean','Matthew']
}).send({
    from: '0x00D1AE0A6fC13B9ecdefA118B94cF95ac16D4ab0', 
    gas: 4700000
})
.on('error', function(error) {
    console.log(error);
}
.then(function(newContractInstance) {
    console.log(newContractInstance.options.address)
}

Answer 1

Try something like this for contracts that need constructor arguments

var bytecodeWithParam = MyContract.new.getData(
    param1,
    param2,
    { data: compiledByteCode });

It is this bytecodeWithParam that you paste into the "Byte Code" field. If you look at it in detail, you will see param1 and param2 32-byte packed at the end.

Another Example

var MyContract = web3.eth.contract(abiArray);

// instantiate by address
var contractInstance = MyContract.at(address);

// deploy new contract
var contractInstance = MyContract.new([constructorParam1] [, constructorParam2], {data: '0x12345...', from: myAccount, gas: 1000000});

// Get the data to deploy the contract manually
var contractData = MyContract.new.getData([constructorParam1] [, constructorParam2], {data: '0x12345...'});
// contractData = '0x12345643213456000000000023434234'
