Metamask transactions keep stack at the txpool of a Quorum Private Network

Hi there,

please note that this is an issue tracker reserved for bug reports and feature requests.

For general questions please use the gitter channel or the Ethereum stack exchange at https://ethereum.stackexchange.com.

System information

Geth version: 1.7.2-stable-0905eda4

OS & Version: Ubuntu 16.04

Branch, Commit Hash or Release: HEAD detached at v2.2.1

Actual behaviour and Steps to reproduce the behaviour

My project repository -> https://github.com/xaviermaltas/quorumPrivateNetwork5Nodes

I'm using a 5 nodes example of a Quorum private network ( https://github.com/bacen/quorum-examples/tree/master/examples/5nodesRTGS ) with new keys. I have initialized the system using the instructions ./raft-init and ./raft-start.

After that I use the command geth attach ipc:"qdata/dd1/geth.ipc to open the Geth console and check the values of the network. (If you test it, you will see that there are 4 peers at the net and the initial number of blocks it's 0. Command to see all the information -> web3). It's also required for unlocking a geth account -> personal.unlockAccount(eth.accounts[0]).

Then, I deploy a Truffle project with 2 contracts using sudo truffle migrate --reset --compile-all --network quorumNet. At the Geth console it's available to see that the number of blocks have changed from 0 to 4.

This Truffle Project contains a Votation Distrubuted Application with a Web App using Metamask plugin. (To bring up the web app use the command npm start. Introduce ethereum.enable() at the browser to connect Metamask with a private Network. Must add a new Custom RPC ). Using the web application and select a 'candidate' and press the 'Vote' button, the web app will interact with the contract and this will generate a transaction for being introduce to the blockchain.

The transaction is generated correct as the Quorum-Truffle guidelines, but transactions keep stack at the txpool of the network (able to check using again web3).

Expected behaviour

The transaction must be mined by all the nodes at the network and must be introduced to the Blockchain as a new block. (Increasing the number of blocks)

@xaviermaltas I've tried the source repo on my quorum-examples project and it appears to work correctly. Is it possible that the nodes lost connectivity to each other?

[xaviermaltas]

Hi @fixanoid ,

Could you show me what have you done (if it is step by step, would be perfect) to make work correct the quorum-examples project with my source repository ? (Using the 7nodes example or 5nodesRTGS example?)

I would be so grateful.

Thank you, Kind Regards.

@xaviermaltas Can you try Settings -> Advanced -> Reset Account and resend transactions? Sometimes MetaMask has an issue with account nonce out of sync.

[fixanoid]

@xaviermaltas please reopen if this is still an issue.

[xaviermaltas]

Thanks for the recommendation @zzy96, but I have tried and haven't get any result.

Hi @fixanoid, I still have the same issue.

@xaviermaltas as I said previously, the UI with MetaMask seemed to have worked the first time. If you'd like, we can follow up on the Slack. Thanks,
