Unable to truffle migrate using a custom web3 provider engine

Hi, I'm currently facing an issue while trying to deploy my contracts on a live network with truffle using a Ledger device.

Currently, I am able to connect to the device and properly sign and broadcast the first transaction, but it seems truffle is unable to resolve the transaction (while I can see the transaction confirmed).

I am 99% sure that the issue is coming from the web3 provider engine as I managed to deploy the contracts using the HDWallet provider, but I have no clue on what might be the difference in behavior.

This is the LedgerProvider I have:

const Web3 = require('web3');
const FiltersSubprovider = require('web3-provider-engine/subproviders/filters');
const NonceSubprovider = require('web3-provider-engine/subproviders/nonce-tracker');
const ProviderEngine = require('web3-provider-engine');
const ProviderSubprovider = require('web3-provider-engine/subproviders/provider');
const TransportU2F = require('@ledgerhq/hw-transport-node-hid').default;
const createLedgerSubprovider = require('@ledgerhq/web3-subprovider').default;
const {listen} = require('@ledgerhq/logs');

class LedgerProvider extends ProviderEngine {
    constructor(connector, options, url, headers, debug) {
        super();

        this.addProvider(new FiltersSubprovider());

        this.addProvider(new NonceSubprovider());

        this.addProvider(createLedgerSubprovider(async () => {
            const transport = await TransportU2F.create();

            listen(logs => console.log(logs.type, logs.message));

            return transport
        }, options));

        switch (connector) {
            case 'http': {
                const web3Provider = new Web3.providers.HttpProvider(url, {headers, keepAlive: false});
                web3Provider.sendAsync = (payload, callback) => {
                    console.log(payload.method);
                    return web3Provider.send(payload, callback);
                };
                this.addProvider(new ProviderSubprovider(web3Provider));
                break ;
            }
            case 'ws': {
                const web3Provider = new Web3.providers.WebsocketProvider(url, {headers});
                web3Provider.sendAsync = (payload, callback) => {
                    console.log(payload.method);
                    return web3Provider.send(payload, callback);
                };
                this.addProvider(new ProviderSubprovider(web3Provider));
                break ;
            }
        }
        this.start();
    }

}

And am using the following versions of the packages:

...
        "web3": "1.2.6",
        "web3-provider-engine": "15.0.7",
        "@ledgerhq/hw-transport-node-hid": "5.13.1",
        "@ledgerhq/web3-subprovider": "5.14.0",
        "@ledgerhq/logs": "5.13.1"
...

Truffle dispatches the transaction, and hangs for ever

     > transaction hash:    0x0db54853b3cce673aa71e87c48b8669eed006fe178dca3b736888bfdebad7a8d

  - Blocks: 0            Seconds: 0

I would like to know if someone else has such issues when using truffle + web3-provider-engine, or when trying to use a ledger device with truffle. Might not be the good place to ask this but honestly I cannot find people trying to do the same thing (I tried all ledger provider packages and have no results)

I am having the same issue. Works fine with ledger+ganache and HDWallet, but no luck when trying to hook into rinkeby with ledger. I'm not sure what's causing the issue, but I do have a really horrible workaround that makes it work for me: wait ~30 seconds before calling the eth_getTransactionReceipt:

web3Provider.sendAsync = (payload, callback) => {
  if (payload.method == "eth_getTransactionReceipt") {
     const waitUntil = new Date(new Date().getTime() + 30000);
     while(waitUntil > new Date()){}
  }
  return web3Provider.send(payload, callback);
}

Hi @twt--,

I managed to make it work by using the following Provider:

const Web3 = require('web3');
const {LedgerSubprovider, Web3ProviderEngine } = require('@0x/subproviders');
const ProviderSubprovider = require('web3-provider-engine/subproviders/provider');
const Eth = require('@ledgerhq/hw-app-eth').default;
const TransportNodeHid = require('@ledgerhq/hw-transport-node-hid').default;

async function ledgerEthereumNodeJsClientFactoryAsync() {
    const ledgerConnection = await TransportNodeHid.create();
    const ledgerEthClient = new Eth(ledgerConnection);
    return ledgerEthClient;
}

class LedgerProvider extends Web3ProviderEngine {
    constructor(options, url, headers, debug) {
        super();

        this.addProvider(new LedgerSubprovider({
            baseDerivationPath: options.derivationPath,
            networkId: options.networkId,
            accountFetchingConfigs: {
                shouldAskForOnDeviceConfirmation: true,
            },
            ledgerEthereumClientFactoryAsync: ledgerEthereumNodeJsClientFactoryAsync,
        }));

        const web3Provider = new Web3.providers.HttpProvider(url, {headers, keepAlive: false});
        web3Provider.sendAsync = web3Provider.send;
        this.addProvider(new ProviderSubprovider(web3Provider));

        this.start();
    }

    send(...args) {
        return this.sendAsync(...args);
    }

}

And by using the exact following versions (truffle version is important):

        "truffle": "5.0.18",
        "web3-provider-engine": "15.0.7",
        "@ledgerhq/hw-transport-node-hid": "5.13.1",
        "@ledgerhq/web3-subprovider": "5.14.0",
        "@ledgerhq/hw-app-eth": "5.14.0",
        "@0x/subproviders": "6.0.8"
