Faucet fails to connect to network and I get an offline error.

[ayka98i]

I'm trying to build a faucet to use on the IBFT private chain.

I'm testing whether it can be launched locally by peering it with an already operational private network. I have been able to launch the API, but the faucet's structure is not updating, causing a 'Faucet offline' error on the front end.

I suspect the loop function is not working properly, but the same logic applies to the latest branches of BSC and quorum, so there may be other reasons. https://github.com/ConsenSys/quorum/blob/a718daa674a2e23cb0c8a6789f7e5467e705bbbd/cmd/faucet/faucet.go#L591-L628

What could be the possible issues?

OS: macOS 12.3.1 goquorum version: 1.9.7(Using an older version for operational purposes)

Are you using gas free network? How do you launch the faucet?

Are you using gas free network?

Yes.

How do you launch the faucet?

I prepared the necessary materials and ran cmd/faucet.go with options.
