@EvmTest NodeType OPEN_ETHEREUM not working

I'm writing unit tests with the node type open_ethereum (@EVMTest(type = NodeType.OPEN_ETHEREUM)), after deploying a contract with the generate java funcion Contract_name.deploy, every call against the contract returns a response equals to 0x0 even if the contract_address has been generated.

If I change the nodeType to BESU, everything works fine.

Steps To Reproduce

Use the same example provided in the documentation, with the test class annotated with @EVMTest(type = NodeType.OPEN_ETHEREUM). The result of greet.send() is empty

Expected behavior

It should return the expected values, in the same way the BESU node does

Actual behavior

There are not errors in the logs, I can see the http return code 200 both when the contract is deployed and when a call to the contract is made. But the result is null.
