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?

Yes.

How do you launch the faucet?

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