What is causing my Solidity calls to suddenly return default values?

Question

WEB3: What is causing my Solidity calls to suddenly return default values instead of the true results returned earlier (for example, a Contract Address call now returns '0x')

const stakeDAO_json = require('./componentsFolder/stakeDAO.json')

const TruffleContract = require('truffle-contract')

const Web3 = require('web3')
Web3.providers.HttpProvider.prototype.sendAsync = Web3.providers.HttpProvider.prototype.send
const web3 = new Web3('http://127.0.0.1:7545')

const account = '0x784a56F281D665f2b9ab680D3C2569acEE46607C'    const account2 = '0xAA7B5037A4d9451233a746d96F96E3Fb04b70E1D'
var value = 100000000000000000
const contractAddress = '0xE5FaCD4e6d34794f8B4887ffc88B4154C4543764'

const ranFunc = async () =\> {
const StakeDAO = TruffleContract(stakeDAO_json)    
StakeDAO.setProvider(web3.currentProvider)`   `const stakeDAO = await StakeDAO.deployed()`    `const ownerAddress = await stakeDAO.ownerAddress()

}

App1.symbol().then((result) =\> {console.log(result)})

I did this above using JavaScript, for example, on calling the function 'ranFunc()', it was supposed to console log (i.e. display) the contract Address which is this - ''0xE5FaCD4e6d34794f8B4887ffc88B4154C4543764''. Then the call of App1.symbol() was supposed to return 'STK' as the created token Symbol.
