Issue

Quorum support (raft) is broken in truffle since 5.1.50

Steps to Reproduce

You can run a simple 3-node local raft network with npx quorum-wizard -q (and then cd into the network directory and run the start script).
Set up a basic truffle project and config for a quorum network:

  networks: {
    development: {
      host: '127.0.0.1',
      port: 22000,
      network_id: '*',
      type: 'quorum',
      gasPrice: 0,
    },
  },

Then when you try to run npx truffle@5.2.6 migrate, it will get stuck waiting for the block to be confirmed. It does this all the way down to truffle@5.1.50

Expected Behavior

Truffle migrate correctly detects when the block is confirmed and moves onto the next step.

Actual Results

Truffle waits until it times out a 750 seconds, even though the transaction/block was successfully committed on chain.

npx truffle@5.1.49 migrate works, and all versions work when you use IBFT instead of raft for consensus. So it's probably related to the raft nanosecond timestamps.

Environment

• Operating System: MacOS
• Ethereum client: Quorum 21.1.0
• Truffle version (truffle version): 5.1.50 to 5.2.6
• node version (node --version): 14.16.0
• npm version (npm --version): 7.6.0

Can you try upgrading to v5.3.0? The problem may be fixed. Thanks!

Looks like the issue still exists in 5.3.0

Darn. Well, guess we'll have to look into it!
