Transaction pending forever

[victormunoz]

I am running a frontier node locally, and everything seems to work. For example I can send dots from one account to another.

When I connect to the EVM network with Metamask, putting the node url with the RPC port 8334 and the chain id, I can see the balance of the account correct (a very high number as defined in the chain spec). Therefore it seems the connection to the EVM is successful.

But, when I try to send 1 ether to another account, the transaction keeps in pending state forever.
No error is shown anywhere, but the transaction is never done. The node log do not show any error neither.

What can be happening? Is there any way to debug the problem?

I have exact the same issue on our nodes, which use a forked version of frontier from a couple of months ago. Did you try running the latest frontier code? Because it works there, only they changed the account id type. The account are now full blown evm accounts.

I am also using an old version. I tried the last version but I cannot make it finalize blocks, also I cannot successfully install the validator set pallet which I need to add and remove validators: https://github.com/gautamdhameja/substrate-validator-set
