Reload/Recall LoadInventory on errror

[Mentalista]

Hello,

 

Can we reload/recall LoadInventory on error?

manager.loadInventory(AppID, ContextID, true, function(err, inv, curr)
  {
    if(err)
    {        //Reload here
                console.log("error while loading inv");
                return;
            
    }
    //code
});

Thanks

function loadinventory(AppID, ContextID) {

	manager.loadInventory(AppID, ContextID, true, function(err, inv, curr) {

	    if(err) {

			console.log("error while loading inv");

			loadinventory(AppID, ContextID);

			return;

	    }

	    //code

	});

}


loadinventory(AppID, ContextID);

This is a bad idea without some kind of limits and delay, or else if something breaks you'll just start DDoSing Steam.

function loadinventory(AppID, ContextID) {

    manager.getInventoryContents(AppID, ContextID, true, function(err, inv, curr) { //You were using deprecated method

     if(err) {

            console.log("Error while loading inventory."); //Gotta use proper grammar.

            setTimeout(function(){

                loadInventory(AppID, ContextID);

            }, 1000*60); //Set timeout (as Führer McKay pointed out);

            return;

     }

     //code

    });

}


loadinventory(AppID, ContextID);

I would recommend giving up after X amount of tries, because at some point it is just the steam API and you need to reset/relog. In the case of escrow days this happens to me fairly regularly.
